Privacy notice
Who we are
Owed is run by Michael Meyer. Our address is Lytchett House, 13 Freeland Park, Wareham Road, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6FA. For anything about your personal data, email hello@owedhq.co.uk. We are the controller of the personal data described in this notice.
The short version
- The invoices and details you type into Owed stay in your browser, on your device. We never receive them.
- If you buy Owed Pro, Stripe takes the payment. We see your name, email address and subscription details, but never your card number.
- We don’t use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.
What stays on your device
Owed saves your invoices, client details, notes and your own details in your browser’s storage on your device. They aren’t sent to us. You can delete them at any time by clearing your browser’s data for this site. Because we never hold them, we can’t recover them for you.
If you buy Owed Pro
Payments are handled by Stripe. When you subscribe, Stripe collects your payment card details and the information you give at checkout, such as your name, email address and billing address. We can see that information and the status of your subscription, so that we can provide Pro and keep business records. Stripe’s own privacy policy is at stripe.com/privacy.
Licence checks
To check that Pro is still active, your browser sends your licence key to our server, which asks Stripe about that subscription. A licence key is a Stripe subscription reference. It doesn’t contain your name or email address.
Hosting
Owed is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from attacks.
Why we use your information
- To provide Pro and take payment, because it’s needed for our contract with you.
- To keep accounting and tax records, because the law requires it.
- To keep the site working and secure, because we have a legitimate interest in running a reliable service.
Who we share it with
We share information only with Stripe and Cloudflare, and only as needed to run Owed. We don’t sell personal data. These providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, they use the safeguards UK data protection law requires.
How long we keep it
We keep payment and subscription records for as long as UK tax law requires us to keep business records, which is around six years.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of your personal data, and ask us to correct it, delete it, or stop or limit how we use it. Email hello@owedhq.co.uk and we’ll reply within one month. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Changes
If we change this notice, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top.
