Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Vitilage Ltd collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data. We are committed to transparency and to handling your information responsibly.

Last Updated: January 15, 2026

1. Introduction

Vitilage Ltd ("Vitilage," "we," "us," or "our") is the data controller responsible for the personal data collected through our website at www.vitilage.com and our AI-powered financial intelligence platform. We are a company registered in England and Wales with our registered office at 14 Appold Street, London, EC2A 2HE, United Kingdom.

This Privacy Policy applies to all individuals who visit our website, request product demonstrations, subscribe to our communications, or use our platform services. It describes the types of personal data we collect, the purposes for which we process that data, the legal bases we rely on under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR), and the rights you have regarding your personal information.

We take your privacy seriously and have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data. We encourage you to read this policy carefully. If you have any questions or concerns about how we handle your data, please reach out to us using the contact details provided at the end of this document.

By accessing our website or using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Where we require your consent for specific processing activities, we will request it separately and clearly at the point of data collection.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect several categories of personal data depending on how you interact with our website and services. Below is a detailed breakdown of the information we may gather:

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Identity Data: Your full name, job title, and company or organisation name, as submitted through contact forms, demo request forms, or during account registration.
  • Contact Data: Your email address, telephone number, and business postal address when you provide these to us for communication purposes.
  • Professional Data: Your role, department, assets under management range, and the types of financial instruments relevant to your work, as shared during onboarding or demo requests.
  • Communication Data: The content of messages you send to us via email, forms, or chat, including any attachments or supporting documentation.

2.2 Information We Collect Automatically

  • Technical Data: Your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, and time zone setting.
  • Usage Data: Pages you visit on our website, the time and date of your visit, time spent on each page, the page from which you navigated to our site (referral URL), click patterns, and scroll depth.
  • Cookie Data: Identifiers stored through cookies and similar tracking technologies, including session identifiers, preference cookies, and analytics identifiers. See Section 10 for full details on our cookie practices.

2.3 Information From Third Parties

  • Business Directories: We may supplement your data with publicly available business information from professional directories or company registries to verify your identity and organisation.
  • Analytics Providers: Aggregated and pseudonymised data from analytics services such as Google Analytics that help us understand website traffic patterns.

3. How We Collect Data

We collect personal data through the following methods and channels:

Website Forms: When you complete a demo request form, contact form, or newsletter subscription form on our website, we collect the information you enter into those fields. All forms clearly indicate which fields are required and which are optional.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies: Our website uses cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect technical and usage data automatically as you browse. We use Google Analytics for website traffic analysis and may deploy the Meta Pixel if you arrive at our site through a Meta advertising campaign. Both tools are configured to minimise the collection of personally identifiable information, and IP addresses are anonymised where technically feasible.

Server Logs: Our web servers automatically record standard log entries, which include your IP address, the requested URL, the HTTP status code, the referrer URL, and the user agent string of your browser. These logs are maintained for security monitoring and troubleshooting purposes.

Email Communications: When you correspond with us via email, we retain the contents of those communications along with your email address and any metadata attached to the messages. If we send you marketing emails (with your prior consent), we may track whether you open them and which links you click to measure the effectiveness of our communications.

Platform Usage: If you become a registered user of our platform, we collect data about how you use the service, including the features you access, the queries you run, the alerts you configure, and the reports you generate. This data is used to improve the platform experience and to provide you with relevant support.

4. Why We Collect Data (Legal Basis)

Under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for processing your personal data. We rely on the following legal bases as set out in Article 6 of the GDPR:

Consent (Article 6(1)(a))

We rely on your explicit consent when sending you marketing communications such as newsletters, product updates, or event invitations. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or by contacting us directly. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before you withdrew it.

Contract Performance (Article 6(1)(b))

When you sign up for a demo, request access to our platform, or enter into a service agreement with us, we process your personal data as necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations. This includes creating your account, providing access to the platform, delivering the services described in your agreement, and communicating with you about your subscription.

Legitimate Interest (Article 6(1)(f))

We process certain data based on our legitimate business interests, provided those interests do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include: improving and optimising our website and platform performance; understanding how users interact with our services through analytics; detecting and preventing security threats, fraud, or abuse; maintaining internal records and administering our business operations; and responding to enquiries submitted through our website.

Legal Obligation (Article 6(1)(c))

In some cases, we are required to process your data to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, such as maintaining financial records for tax purposes, responding to lawful requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities, or fulfilling our obligations under anti-money laundering regulations applicable to financial technology providers.

5. How We Use Your Data

We use the personal data we collect for the following specific purposes:

  • Service Delivery: To provide you with access to our AI-powered financial intelligence platform, process your demo requests, create and manage your user account, and deliver the features and functionality described in your service agreement.
  • Communication: To respond to your enquiries, provide customer support, send transactional notifications related to your account (such as password resets, service updates, and billing confirmations), and, where you have consented, to send marketing communications about new features, industry insights, or events.
  • Analytics and Improvement: To analyse website traffic and user behaviour on an aggregated basis, identify areas for product improvement, test new features, and optimise the overall user experience. We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled for this purpose.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention: To monitor access patterns, detect and investigate suspicious activity, protect against unauthorised access to accounts, and maintain the integrity and availability of our platform infrastructure.
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards, respond to lawful requests from authorities, enforce our Terms of Service, and protect our legal rights and those of our users.

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. Our AI algorithms analyse market data, not personal data about our users.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Below are our specific retention periods for each category of data:

Data Category Retention Period
Contact form submissions 2 years from the date of submission
Demo request data 2 years from the date of the request
Platform account data Duration of the service agreement plus 3 years
Marketing consent records Until consent is withdrawn, plus 6 months for record-keeping
Server logs 90 days
Analytics cookies 13 months from the date they are set
Billing and invoicing records 7 years (as required by UK tax law)
Email correspondence 3 years from the last communication

When your data reaches the end of its retention period, we securely delete or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you. In cases where deletion is not immediately possible due to technical constraints (such as data in backup archives), we ensure the data is isolated and protected from further processing until deletion can be completed.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. We share your data only with the following categories of recipients, each of whom is bound by contractual obligations to protect the confidentiality and security of your information:

  • Cloud Hosting Providers: We use enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure providers to host our website and platform. These providers store data in secure, certified data centres and process data only in accordance with our instructions.
  • Analytics Providers: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google processes this data on our behalf and is prohibited from using it for its own purposes. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses.
  • Email Service Providers: We use a third-party email platform to send transactional and marketing communications. This provider processes your email address, name, and engagement data (open and click rates) on our behalf.
  • Payment Processors: If you purchase a subscription, your payment information is processed directly by our PCI DSS-compliant payment processor. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
  • Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose your data if required to do so by law, court order, or regulatory request, or if we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

All third-party processors we engage are vetted for their data protection practices and are required to enter into Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) that comply with the requirements of the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.

8. International Data Transfers

Our primary data storage and processing facilities are located within the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, some of the third-party service providers we use may process data in countries outside the UK and EEA, including the United States.

Where personal data is transferred outside of the UK or EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection law. These safeguards include:

  • Adequacy Decisions: We transfer data to countries that the UK Government or the European Commission has determined provide an adequate level of data protection.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): For transfers to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (and their UK equivalent, the International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum) to provide contractual guarantees that your data will be protected to the same standard as within the UK and EEA.
  • Supplementary Measures: Where necessary, we implement additional technical and organisational measures, such as encryption in transit and at rest, pseudonymisation, and access controls, to supplement the protections provided by SCCs.

You may request a copy of the specific safeguards we use for international transfers by contacting us at the details provided in Section 13 of this policy.

9. Your Rights

Under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to certain conditions and exemptions as defined by applicable law:

Right of Access (Article 15)

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with information about how and why we process it. We will provide this information free of charge within one calendar month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification (Article 16)

If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it without undue delay.

Right to Erasure (Article 17)

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where the data has been unlawfully processed.

Right to Restriction of Processing (Article 18)

You may request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or when you have objected to processing pending verification of our legitimate grounds.

Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

Where we process your data based on consent or contract performance, you have the right to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object (Article 21)

You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interest as the legal basis. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

Right to Withdraw Consent (Article 7(3))

Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. You can do this by clicking the unsubscribe link in marketing emails or by contacting us directly.

How to exercise your rights: To exercise any of the above rights, please contact us at [email protected] or write to us at the postal address listed in Section 13. We will respond to your request within one calendar month. If your request is complex or we receive a high volume of requests, we may extend this period by a further two months, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it.

Right to lodge a complaint: If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your personal data or your request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's supervisory authority for data protection. The ICO can be contacted at ico.org.uk or by telephone at 0303 123 1113. If you are located in the EEA, you may also contact your local Data Protection Authority.

10. Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes. Below is a summary of the types of cookies we use, their purpose, and their duration:

10.1 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of our website. They enable core features such as security, session management, and accessibility preferences. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly. Essential cookies do not require your consent, and they are typically session-based, expiring when you close your browser.

10.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors use our website. These cookies track page views, session duration, bounce rate, and traffic sources. The information is aggregated and does not personally identify you. Analytics cookies have a maximum duration of 13 months. We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses and we have disabled data sharing with other Google products.

10.3 Marketing Cookies

If you arrive at our website through an advertising campaign on platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) or Google Ads, a marketing cookie or pixel may be placed on your device. These cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking conversions (such as whether you submitted a demo request after clicking an ad). Marketing cookies are only activated if you accept them through our cookie consent banner. They have a maximum duration of 13 months.

10.4 Managing Cookies

When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. Your choice is saved in your browser's local storage and will be remembered for subsequent visits. You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and local storage data, which will cause the consent banner to appear again on your next visit.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Please note that blocking essential cookies may impair the functionality of our website. For information on how to manage cookies in your browser, visit your browser's help documentation or aboutcookies.org.

11. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are designed for professionals working in the financial industry and are not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 years of age.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 16, we will take immediate steps to delete that data from our systems. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal data to us, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can take appropriate action.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our data processing practices, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you by posting the updated version on this page with a new "Last Updated" date.

For significant changes that materially affect your rights or how we process your data, we will also provide additional notice, such as an email notification to registered users or a prominent banner on our website. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our data protection practices.
