You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) or, if you are based in the European Union, your local supervisory authority.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze usage patterns, and provide personalized content. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. For detailed information about our cookie usage, please see our Cookie Policy.

9. Data Residency and International Transfers

Mailbuttons operates with UK and EU data residency by default. Customer data, including the contents of email passing through your mailboxes and the audit logs derived from it, is stored within the United Kingdom and European Economic Area.

Where a sub-processor located outside the UK/EEA is used (notably Cloudflare for DNS / edge protection and, for opt-in hosted-agent features, Anthropic for LLM inference), transfers are made on the basis of UK Addendum / EU Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary safeguards as required by UK and EU GDPR. A customer can elect to disable the hosted-agent LLM feature, in which case no customer email content leaves the UK/EEA.

Off-site backups are held by Backblaze, Inc. (US-incorporated) in their EU Central region (Amsterdam, Netherlands). All backup data is encrypted client-side with a key we control before leaving our infrastructure; Backblaze cannot read backup contents in plaintext. The transfer relationship is governed by UK Addendum / EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of our services after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
