Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use Sponsor Seal, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
Last updated: 27 May 2026
1. Who we are
Sponsor Seal operates the website and services at sponsorseal.com. For privacy-related questions, contact us at tom@sponsorseal.com.
2. Data we collect
Depending on how you use Sponsor Seal, we may collect:
- Account information — such as your name, email address, and profile photo when you sign in with Google.
- Profile and preferences — information you provide during onboarding or in your account settings, such as job preferences and saved roles.
- Usage data — pages viewed, features used, device and browser type, and approximate location derived from IP address.
- Payment information — subscription status and billing metadata processed by our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers on our servers.
- Communications — messages you send to us and email delivery metadata if you subscribe to updates.
3. How we use your data
We use personal data to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve Sponsor Seal
- Authenticate you and personalise your experience
- Process subscriptions and manage billing
- Send service-related emails and, where permitted, product updates
- Understand how the platform is used and fix issues
- Protect against fraud, abuse, and security incidents
- Comply with legal obligations
4. Legal bases for processing
Where UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on one or more of the following bases:
- Contract — to provide the service you sign up for
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve Sponsor Seal in ways that do not override your rights
- Consent — where required for optional marketing or non-essential cookies
- Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information by law
5. Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with service providers that help us run Sponsor Seal, such as hosting, authentication, analytics, email delivery, and payment processing. These providers may only use your data to perform services for us and must protect it appropriately.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
6. Cookies and analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand site usage. Analytics tools may collect pseudonymous identifiers and event data about how you interact with Sponsor Seal.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may limit certain features.
7. Data retention
We keep personal data only for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it.
8. International transfers
Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we use appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections required by applicable law.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal data, and to data portability. You may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
To exercise your rights, email tom@sponsorseal.com. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
10. Security
We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please use a strong password on linked accounts and contact us if you notice suspicious activity.
11. Children
Sponsor Seal is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes may also be communicated by email or through the product where appropriate.
