6. Data Protection
6.1. Both Parties shall comply with their obligations under the Data Protection Laws and the Supplier’s Privacy Policy. All data that the Parties may use in connection with this Agreement shall be collected, processed, and held in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Laws. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve or replace either Party of any obligations set out in the Data Protection Laws.
6.2. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that any data provided by the Customer to the Supplier in connection with the provision of the Services will be processed by the Supplier and its sub-processors (including OpenAI via Azure, and other models such as Perplexity and Gemini accessed via API) in accordance with applicable Data Protection Laws.
6.3. The Supplier only collects and processes Personal Data to the extent necessary for account creation and any related user administration services necessary for the performance of this Agreement. The Supplier does not itself input any Personal Data into its sub-processors for the purposes of Generative AI processing and does not encourage the Customer to input Personal Data in any data submitted to the Generative AI functionality of the Software. Where the Customer chooses to input Personal Data as part of the Customer Data, the Customer shall act as Data Controller in respect of such Personal Data and warrants that it has obtained all necessary rights, authorisations and a valid lawful basis under the Data Protection Laws to process such Personal Data. The Customer shall be responsible for, and shall hold the Supplier harmless from and against any loss, claim or liability arising from the Customer’s failure to comply with this warranty.
6.4. The Supplier confirms that any data processing activities occur within the European Economic Area (“EEA”), and no data is transferred outside of the EEA. The Supplier uses OpenAI's services via Azure, which ensures that all data processed remains within Azure's secure infrastructure located in the EEA. OpenAI does not have access to Customer Data, nor is Customer Data used to train OpenAI's models. The Supplier endeavours to ensure, but does not warrant, that Customer Data processed through OpenAI is isolated and protected as per industry-leading security practices. Similarly, when utilizing other models (e.g., Perplexity and Gemini), the Supplier ensures that only generic or non-personalized data is sent by default. Should the Customer opt to send specific data to these models, such data will be transmitted only as per the Customer’s explicit instructions.
6.5. The Supplier does not train AI models using Customer files, data, or AI-generated outputs.
6.6. By default, the Supplier’s system does not permanently store Customer files or AI-generated outputs. Files uploaded by the Customer and corresponding outputs are temporarily stored for the purposes of processing, display, and limited system debugging and monitoring. Uploaded files and outputs visible to the Customer are erased when replaced by new uploads or outputs, when the Customer clears them, or otherwise in accordance with the system’s normal operation. Copies of input and output data may be retained in secure system logs for a maximum period of seven (7) days solely for the purposes of fault diagnosis, performance monitoring, and system integrity, after which they are automatically deleted or irreversibly overwritten. The Supplier does not retain Customer data beyond these periods and does not use Customer data for any other purpose.
6.7. If the Customer opts for data storage services, the Supplier may securely store files and AI-generated outputs for the Customer’s future retrieval convenience. Such storage will occur on secure cloud platforms, such as AWS, and will be encrypted both in transit and at rest. The Supplier implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect stored Personal Data against unauthorized access, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
6.8. The Supplier shall, with respect to any Personal Data processed by it in relation to its performance under this Agreement:
6.8.1. only process Personal Data as necessary to provide the Services in accordance with this Agreement and the Customer’s instructions, or as otherwise required to process such Personal Data by law. The Supplier shall inform the Customer of such processing unless prohibited by law from doing so;
6.8.2. implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures, in accordance with industry standards, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks associated with processing Personal Data, including measures to:
a. Protect against unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure of Personal Data;
b. Prevent accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, or alteration of Personal Data;
c. Ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems and services; and
d. Ensure that any or all of its employees with access to Personal Data are contractually obligated to keep that Personal Data confidential.
6.8.3. assist the Customer at the Customer’s cost, in responding to any and all requests from data subjects;
6.8.4. notify the Customer without undue delay upon becoming aware of a Personal Data breach;
6.8.5. on the Customer’s written instruction, delete or otherwise dispose of or return all Personal Data to the Customer unless it is required by law to retain any of the Personal Data; and
6.8.6. provide the Customer with additional information regarding its Data Protection practices upon reasonable request to ensure transparency and compliance with applicable Data Protection Laws.
7. Supplier’s obligations
7.1. The Supplier shall perform the Services with reasonable skill and care.
7.2. The Supplier uses Generative AI as part of its Services. While the Supplier shall comply with clause 7.1, it does not provide any warranties as to the content that Generative AI produces.

7.3. The Supplier shall not be liable for any non-conformance which is caused by use of the Services contrary to the Supplier's instructions, or modification or alteration of the Services by any party other than the Supplier or the Supplier's duly authorised contractors or agents. If the Services do not conform with the terms of clause 7.1, the Supplier will, at its expense, use reasonable commercial endeavours to correct any such non-conformance promptly. Such correction constitutes the Customer's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the undertaking set out in clause 7.1.
7.4. The Supplier is not responsible for any delays, delivery failures, or any other loss or damage resulting from the transfer of data over communications networks and facilities, including the internet, and the Customer acknowledges that the Services may be subject to limitations, delays and other problems inherent in the use of such communications facilities.
7.5. The Supplier shall ensure that it is, and the Software is, compliant with HMRC’s guidelines on the use of generative AI in tax software products.

We also collect, use and share aggregated data, such as statistical or demographic data, for any purpose. Aggregated data may be derived from your Personal Data but is not considered Personal Data in law as it does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
For example, we may aggregate individuals’ Usage Data to calculate the percentage of users accessing a specific website feature in order to analyse general trends in how users are interacting with our Website and to help improve the Website and our services.
It is important that the Personal Data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your Personal Data changes during your relationship with us, for example, a new email address.

(a) Performance of a contract with you. Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you.
(b) Legitimate interests. We may use your Personal Data where it is necessary to conduct our business and pursue our legitimate interests, for example to prevent fraud and to enable us to give you the best and most secure customer experience.

5. International transfers
We may transfer your Personal Data to service providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf.
This may involve transferring Personal Data outside the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as UK law.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Data out of the UK to service providers, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are in place:
(a) We will only transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed by the UK to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data.
(b) We may use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK which give the transferred Personal Data the same protection as it has in the UK.
