Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Data Controller

Technosight Ltd. (“Technosight”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data.

Technosight Ltd. is the Data Controller responsible for the collection and processing of your personal data in connection with our website (https://technosight.co) and analytical research services under the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law, 2017, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information that you provide directly to us, as well as data gathered automatically when you navigate our platform:

• Account Registration Data: Username, email address, cryptographic password hash, and account verification status.
• Subscription & Billing Metadata: Subscription plan type (Monthly or Annual), account status (active, past_due, canceled), and identifier tokens from our payment processor (such as Paddle Customer ID `ctm_...` and Subscription ID `sub_...`).

Technosight never sees, processes, or stores your full credit or debit card numbers on our servers. Paddle processes this information in accordance with their own comprehensive privacy documentation, accessible at Paddle’s Privacy Policy.

4. Lawful Bases for Processing Personal Data

We process your personal information only when we have a valid legal basis:

• Performance of a Contract: To manage your account, verify access credentials, deliver paywalled research reports, and fulfill your subscription agreement.
• Legitimate Interests: To maintain platform security, prevent fraudulent activity, monitor infrastructure health, and improve our quantitative screening models.
• Legal & Regulatory Obligations: To comply with applicable Guernsey corporate, financial, and tax accounting requirements.
• Consent: Where you have provided express consent, such as receiving optional email notifications or research newsletters.

5. Data Sharing & Third-Party Processors

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertisers or third parties. We share data only with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our platform under strict confidentiality agreements:

• Paddle.com Market Ltd. (UK): Merchant of Record for online payments, fraud prevention, and sales tax compliance.
• DigitalOcean LLC (UK/EU Datacenters): Cloud infrastructure, database hosting, and secure application execution.

6. International Data Transfers

Technosight operates from Guernsey (Channel Islands). The European Commission has officially recognized the Bailiwick of Guernsey as providing an adequate level of data protection equivalent to EU law. Where personal data is transferred outside Guernsey or the UK/EEA, we implement approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to guarantee equivalent protection.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account and profile information for as long as your Technosight account remains active. If you delete your account or cancel your subscription, we retain transaction metadata and tax records for up to six (6) years to satisfy statutory accounting, legal, and regulatory auditing obligations in Guernsey.
