We may collect the following personal data:

  • Name and contact details — when you submit a contact form or guest post enquiry
  • Usage data — pages visited, tools used, and interaction data collected via privacy-friendly analytics (Plausible Analytics)
  • Technical data — browser type, device type, and approximate location derived from IP address (anonymised)

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To send you our newsletter and compliance updates (with your consent)
  • To respond to contact form submissions and enquiries
  • To deliver downloadable templates and tool results
  • To improve our website, tools, and content based on usage patterns

4. Legal basis for processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent — for newsletter subscriptions and marketing communications. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.
  • Legitimate interests — for website analytics and improving our services, where this does not override your rights.

  • Supabase — database hosting for subscriber data

All service providers are bound by data processing agreements and comply with UK GDPR requirements.

6. Cookies

WageKit uses minimal cookies. We use Plausible Analytics which does not use cookies or collect personal data. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party cookies for profiling.

Essential cookies may be used for website functionality (e.g., session management). These do not require consent under UK GDPR as they are strictly necessary.

7. Data retention

  • Newsletter subscribers — retained until you unsubscribe, then deleted within 30 days
  • Contact form submissions — retained for 12 months, then deleted
  • Analytics data — aggregated and anonymised, retained indefinitely
  • Tool usage data — anonymised, no personal data retained

8. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access — request a copy of your personal data
  • Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure — request deletion of your personal data
  • Right to restrict processing — request limitation of how we use your data
  • Right to data portability — request your data in a machine-readable format
  • Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Right to withdraw consent — withdraw consent at any time for consent-based processing

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@wagekit.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure database hosting, and access controls.

10. Children

WageKit is not directed at individuals under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
