1. Introduction
Westhoryn ("we", "us", or "our") provides AI-driven data analysis and decision-support tools for households and investors. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit our website or use our services. By accessing or using Westhoryn, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and any details submitted through contact forms or account registration. We may also collect information automatically, including device type, browser, approximate location, pages visited, and interaction data, typically gathered through cookies and similar technologies. Where you use our analytical tools, we may process the data and inputs you supply in order to generate outputs and insights.
3. How We Use Information
Information we collect may be used to: operate and improve our website and services; respond to enquiries and provide customer support; personalise content and recommendations; monitor usage patterns and troubleshoot technical issues; and communicate updates, where you have agreed to receive them. We do not use your information for purposes incompatible with those described here without providing further notice.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to perform a contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our services, and compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site, and support basic functionality. You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them, though doing so may affect certain features of the site. We do not currently operate a separate cookie consent mechanism beyond browser-level controls unless otherwise indicated.
6. Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with trusted service providers who support our operations, such as hosting, analytics, or communication tools, under appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymise it.
8. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International Data Transfers
If information is transferred to or processed in a country outside your own, we aim to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection requirements. Specific transfer mechanisms depend on the services and providers used at any given time.
10. Your Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information, as well as rights to data portability and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact page. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe.
11. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
