PRIVACY & COOKIES

This page explains what personal data WorkDisputes collects, how it is used, and how cookies are handled on the site. It is written for ordinary users, not lawyers.

1. Who controls your data

The data controller for WorkDisputes is Digital Fig Ltd (Company Number: 15889833). If you have a privacy question, email support@workdisputes.co.uk.

2. The data we collect

  • Account data: your email address and the information needed to sign you in securely.
  • Case data: the facts, dates, notes, and answers you enter into our tools.
  • Uploaded documents: files you choose to upload for analysis or drafting support.
  • Payment data: payment processing information handled through our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers ourselves.
  • Basic technical data: limited technical information needed to keep the service secure and working properly.
  • Optional analytics data: if you accept analytics cookies, we collect a privacy-limited page category, referring website domain, browser, operating system, device type, screen size, timezone and pseudonymous device and session identifiers. For a signed-in user, this may include the internal Supabase account ID, but not the account email address.

3. How we use your data

  • To run the account, sign-in, dashboard, and saved-work features.
  • To generate reports, first drafts, timelines, and other outputs you request.
  • To process payments and manage access to paid features.
  • To keep the platform secure, prevent misuse, and diagnose service problems.
  • If you consent, to measure visits, sign-ups and feature use so we can improve the platform.

AI processing: where you ask the platform to generate a report or draft, relevant text may be processed by third-party AI providers for that purpose. We do not sell your case details for advertising.

We rely on your consent for optional analytics and optional marketing. You can refuse analytics without losing access to the site. Essential processing is used where needed to provide the service, comply with legal duties, and protect the platform and its users.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies in a limited way. At the moment, the site mainly uses essential cookies for things like sign-in, security, checkout continuity, and remembering your cookie choice. Optional analytics and referral cookies are used only after you consent.

Essential cookies

These help the site function properly. For example, they can keep you signed in, support secure account sessions, help protect the site from abuse, and remember whether you accepted or limited cookies.

Optional analytics and referral cookies

These are off by default. If you allow them, we use PostHog's EU service to measure page visits, sign-ups and general feature use. If you arrive through an approved affiliate link, the same choice also lets us store a first-party referral identifier so that an eligible Stripe purchase can be attributed and commission calculated. Affiliates receive totals and commission information, not your name, email address, case information or documents. We send page paths for public site content, including public guide, sector and tribunal-directory pages, but remove URL queries and fragments. Screen recordings, automatic click and form capture, case search terms, document contents, form answers, email addresses and URL query information are not sent to PostHog. IP-based location enrichment is disabled. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

Your cookie preference is stored so the site does not keep showing you the same banner. We currently keep that preference for up to 180 days before asking again.

You can change or withdraw your analytics consent at any time by selecting Cookie settings in the website footer. Withdrawing consent stops future analytics collection and future affiliate attribution in that browser.

Some third-party services used to run the platform, such as authentication or hosted checkout, may also use their own necessary cookies when you interact with them.

5. Who we share data with

We use service providers to operate the platform, such as hosting, authentication, payment, storage, optional analytics, and AI processing providers. They process data on our behalf so the service can work. We do not sell your personal data for advertising.

PostHog is our optional analytics processor. Our project uses PostHog Cloud EU. PostHog receives only the limited analytics information described above after you consent.

Approved affiliates provide an account-holder name, UK sort code and account number so we can pay commission by bank transfer. These details are held in a restricted payout table and are available only through authenticated affiliate and administrator routes. Affiliates see masked account details after saving; authorised administrators can view the full details to make a payment. Administrators can also see commission balances, payment references and payment history.

6. Data security and retention

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data in transit and at rest. No internet service is completely risk-free, but security is treated as an important part of the platform.

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the service, legal compliance, dispute handling, and legitimate record-keeping.

7. Your rights

  • Access: you can ask what personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: you can ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Erasure: you can ask us to delete your account and associated data, subject to any legal retention requirements.
  • Objection or restriction: in some situations you can object to, or ask us to limit, certain processing.

To exercise these rights, email support@workdisputes.co.uk.

8. Marketing communications

Service emails, such as account or purchase messages, are different from marketing. Where marketing is used, it should be sent only where there is an appropriate lawful basis and a clear way to opt out.
