01Who we are
Made By Vortechs is the data controller for the personal data described here. We are a remote business with no public office, so the best way to reach us is by email: madebyvortechs@gmail.com.
02What we collect
- The website address you submit, and the public content of that page, which we fetch so we can analyse it.
- Your details: your name (if you give it), email address, business type, and any notes you add.
- Your IP address, which we use for rate limiting and to prevent abuse.
- A bot check: Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a real person is using the form.
- Invoice request details, if you ask us for an invoice: your name, email, website, business name, LinkedIn profile (if given), the package and currency you choose, and your notes.
- Where you came from: the referring page and any campaign tags in the link you followed (for example utm_source), sent along with your scan or invoice request.
03Why we use it, and our lawful basis
- Running your scan and sending your results. We need your website address and email to do what you asked. Lawful basis: performing a contract with you, or taking steps you asked for before one.
- Handling invoice requests and paid audits. Lawful basis: contract.
- Security and abuse prevention (rate limits, bot checks, spotting misuse). Lawful basis: our legitimate interests in keeping the service safe and available.
- Follow-up emails and marketing (conversion tips and sequence). Follow-up emails only if you tick marketing consent, unsubscribe any time with one click. Lawful basis: your consent. You can withdraw it at any time with the unsubscribe link in any email, or by emailing madebyvortechs@gmail.com.
- Keeping financial records. Lawful basis: legal obligation.
05International transfers
Some of these providers are based in, or process data in, countries outside the UK, such as the United States. Where that happens, the transfer relies on safeguards the provider offers, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or UK adequacy regulations.
06How long we keep it
- Scan results: up to 90 days.
- Lead and contact records: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them, and no longer than 24 months after our last contact with you.
- Invoices and payment records: for as long as tax law requires.
07Your rights
You have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- have inaccurate data corrected (rectification);
- have your data erased;
- restrict how we use it;
- object to processing based on our legitimate interests;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting anything we did before you withdrew it.
To use any of these rights, email madebyvortechs@gmail.com. We will reply within one month.
08Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on its helpline, 0303 123 1113.
