FoxEra Inventory — Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 17 September 2026
Last Updated: 24 September 2026
Version: 2026-09-24.1
This policy explains how FOXERA LTD (company number 16965121, United
Kingdom) (“FoxEra”, “we”, “us” or “our”)
handles personal data when you visit `www.foxera.uk` or use the FoxEra
Inventory service. It should be read with the [Terms of Service](/terms).
1. Who controls the data
FoxEra is the controller for account, support, billing and website data that
we decide how to use. For information that an organisation uploads about its
staff, suppliers, customers or other people, that organisation may be the
controller and FoxEra may act as its processor. The organisation must give
the required notices and instructions; FoxEra processes that data to provide
the Service and for security and legal obligations.
For privacy questions or rights requests, contact david@foxera.uk or
+44 7850 450096. Do not send passwords or payment-card details.
2. What we collect
Account and organisation data
We collect the email address, name, phone number, organisation name, country,
timezone, authentication records and account settings needed to provide the
Service. Passwords are stored using the application’s password-protection
mechanism; we do not need the plain-text password.
Customer Data
Depending on the features used, this can include recipes, ingredients,
suppliers, prices, stock movements, purchase orders, waste, sales records,
POS mappings, uploaded files and messages. The organisation using FoxEra is
responsible for the lawfulness and accuracy of this data.
Billing and support
We receive payment, top-up and transaction status from our payment provider.
We do not store full card numbers. We also collect support requests,
feedback, correspondence and the business contact details included in them.
Technical and usage data
We receive IP address, browser/device information, referring page, request
and error logs, performance data and pages viewed. When a user is signed in,
we may record the pages opened, controls selected, and general pointer
position to improve the product. We do not record what the user types,
passwords, payment details or the contents of recipes, suppliers or invoices
through this activity tracker. The signed-in activity record is kept for up
to 90 days unless a shorter deletion request is completed sooner.
The public website may use Vercel Web Analytics or another clearly identified
analytics service for page-level measurement. We do not use advertising
trackers unless this notice is updated and any required consent is obtained.
3. Why we use data
We use data to:
- create accounts, organisations, roles and sign-in sessions;
- store, display and export Customer Data;
- run requested AI, scanning, costing, import, counting and integration
features;
- take one-off top-up payments and provide receipts;
- provide support and service/security notifications;
- measure reliability, debug faults and improve the product;
- prevent abuse, investigate incidents and comply with law; and
- publish an approved portfolio item only where the organisation has given
separate written permission under the Terms.
For UK/EU users, the legal basis depends on the activity: contract for
providing the Service, legitimate interests for security and service
improvement, legal obligation for accounting and compliance, and consent
where consent is required (for example, some optional marketing or cookies).
4. Providers and sharing
We do not sell personal data. We share the minimum data needed with providers
that help operate requested features. Current categories include:
| Provider/category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Vercel and hosting/logging providers | hosting, delivery, performance and security |
| Supabase or the configured database provider | account and Customer Data storage |
| Stripe or the configured payment provider | one-off top-ups and payment status |
| Google Gemini or another enabled AI provider | requested AI extraction, costing or analysis |
| Email, support and error-monitoring providers | transactional messages, support and fault diagnosis |
The exact provider used can change as the Service changes. We require
appropriate contractual and security safeguards where applicable. We may
also disclose data to courts, regulators, professional advisers or a buyer
of the business where lawful and necessary.
5. International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK or your country. Where a
restricted transfer applies, we use a lawful transfer mechanism and
appropriate safeguards required by applicable data-protection law. Using the
Service is not a waiver of your statutory rights.
6. Retention and deletion
We keep account and Customer Data while the account is active or while
needed to provide a requested feature. After closure, we delete or anonymise
data when operationally practical, except for records needed for legal,
security, fraud, dispute or accounting purposes. Backups can retain deleted
data for a limited recovery period. The 90-day signed-in activity period is
described above; other retention periods depend on the record and the legal
or operational need.
7. Your rights
Subject to legal exceptions, UK/EU individuals may request access,
correction, deletion, restriction, portability or objection. You may withdraw
consent where consent is the basis. Organisations should route requests
about their Customer Data through the organisation’s account owner or give
FoxEra appropriate instructions.
Contact david@foxera.uk with your name, organisation and the request. We
normally respond without undue delay and within one month, unless a lawful
extension applies. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s
Office or the regulator where you live.
8. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the
risk, including access controls, encrypted connections, protected
authentication and monitoring. No online service or transmission is
guaranteed to be completely secure. Tell us promptly about suspected account
or security misuse.
9. Children and third-party links
The Service is a business tool and is not directed to children. We do not
knowingly seek children’s data. The Service may link to third-party sites;
their own terms and privacy notices apply.
10. Portfolio publication
FoxEra does not publish a customer’s name, logo, website, screenshots or
case-study material merely because the customer uses the Service. Publication
is allowed only after separate written permission, limited to the approved
materials and purpose. Permission can be withdrawn for future publication at
david@foxera.uk; see the Terms for the removal process.
11. Changes
We may update this policy when the Service, providers or law changes. We will
post the new version and date here and give additional notice for material
changes where required.
