Sharing Your Personal Data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited information with trusted third-party processors who help us provide our Services, such as:

  • Payment processors: e.g. Stripe Payments UK Ltd – to securely process payments
  • Cloud hosting providers: e.g. Amazon Web Services (AWS) – to host our software and store data securely
  • Email and communication platforms: e.g. SendGrid or Mailchimp – to send product updates and communications

All processors are contractually required to keep your data secure and process it only under our instructions, in accordance with UK GDPR.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers may be located outside the UK (for example, in the EEA or the US). When personal data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

  • An adequacy decision (where the destination country provides equivalent protection), or
  • The UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the ICO.

You can request details of these safeguards by contacting chris [at] metronlabs.ai.

Data Security

We use industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS) and at rest where appropriate
  • Role-based access control and authentication
  • Regular access reviews and vulnerability assessments
  • Secure processor contracts and internal data-handling policies

While we take reasonable precautions, no system is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet.
