Privacy Policy

quickler Ltd operates quickler.co and the quickler workflow product. The company is registered in Scotland under company number SC882439 and with the UK Information Commissioner's Office under registration number C1910464. This page explains what personal data is handled, why it is used, and who it is shared with.

What data quickler collects

quickler may collect your email address, the contents of your message, and any other information you choose to include when you contact the business. If you email directly, the same applies to the information in that email thread.

The site also uses Google Analytics, which may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser information, referral source, and general usage patterns.

For customers using the quickler workflow product, quickler also handles phone numbers, uploaded report examples, project identifiers, photos, voice notes, transcripts, generated report drafts, and routing information needed to deliver finished outputs to the correct destination. For paying customers, billing details (name, email, bank-mandate identifiers) are also processed via the payment provider.

Cookies

quickler uses a small local setting in your browser to remember whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies. If you accept, Google Analytics may set analytics cookies. If you decline, those analytics scripts are not loaded. A separate Cookie Policy explains this in more detail.

How the data is used

Your enquiry details are used to reply to you, understand the workflow problem you describe, assess whether quickler is a good fit, and if appropriate prepare next steps for a potential project.

Website analytics are used to understand which pages are useful, where visitors are coming from, and how the site can be improved.

For workflow product customers, the data is used to generate report drafts, ask follow-up questions, route finished outputs, maintain auditability, support the customer, and improve the reliability of the product. Aggregated and de-identified usage data may be used to improve the platform.

Legal basis

For enquiries, the main basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a possible contract, together with legitimate interests in responding to business enquiries and running the business sensibly.

For website analytics, quickler uses a cookie-consent prompt and only loads analytics after you actively allow them. Site security and basic hosting operations are handled under legitimate interests in protecting and operating the site.

Who the data is shared with

quickler currently uses the following third-party services as processors or infrastructure providers:

  • Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) — server hosting for the workflow product.
  • Twilio Inc. (United States / Ireland) — WhatsApp messaging gateway.
  • Anthropic PBC (United States) — large-language-model processing of captured text and transcripts.
  • Groq, Inc. (United States) — speech-to-text transcription of voice notes.
  • OpenAI, L.L.C. (United States) — speech-to-text transcription of voice notes.
  • Langfuse GmbH (Germany / United States) — AI service monitoring. Call metadata only; message content is not transmitted.
  • GoCardless Ltd (United Kingdom) — direct-debit subscription billing.
  • Functional Software, Inc. (trading as Sentry) (United States) — application error monitoring and diagnostics. Stack traces may incidentally include fragments of user input where an error occurs during processing.
  • GitHub, Inc. (United States) — hosting of the public website (GitHub Pages).
  • Formspree, Inc. (United States) — receiving and forwarding website contact-form submissions.
  • Zoho Corporation Pvt. Ltd. (India, with EU data-centre options) — email hosting for the @quickler.co mailbox and message forwarding.
  • Google LLC (United States) — website analytics (loaded only after consent); Google Fonts typeface hosting (the browser connects to Google servers on every page view to fetch the site typeface, which means Google may receive your IP address); and Gmail, which receives and stores email forwarded from the @quickler.co inbox for reading.

Where customer-instructed routing is configured, finished report outputs may also be delivered to integrations chosen by the customer (for example Google Drive, SharePoint, Dropbox, email, or project-management systems).

Data may also be shared where reasonably necessary with email providers, professional advisers, or law-enforcement bodies where disclosure is required by law.

How long data is kept

Enquiry data is kept only as long as it is useful for handling the enquiry, any follow-up discussions, and ordinary business record-keeping. As a working rule, non-client enquiry records are normally not kept longer than 24 months after the last meaningful contact unless there is a good reason to keep them longer.

For workflow product customers: engineer messages, photos, voice notes, and transcripts are retained for the duration of the subscription, plus a grace period of up to 90 days after termination to allow data export. Approved, archived report PDFs are retained until the customer deletes them. Application logs are retained for 30 days. Database backups are retained for 30 days. A customer can delete any engineer's data immediately by removing them from the Engineers list in the dashboard, which triggers a cascading delete of their WhatsApp sessions, recordings, and PDFs.

International transfers

Some sub-processors are based outside the UK (notably in the EEA and the United States). Where personal data is transferred internationally, quickler relies on the following mechanisms, as appropriate to the destination country:

  • UK-US Data Bridge (an extension of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, in force since 12 October 2023) for transfers to US-based sub-processors that are certified under the Framework. Anthropic, Twilio, OpenAI, Sentry (Functional Software), GitHub, Formspree, and Google are relied on under this mechanism where their DPF certification applies.
  • The UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, for transfers that are not covered by an adequacy decision or the Data Bridge.
  • UK / EEA adequacy decisions for transfers within the EEA.
Where quickler processes personal data on behalf of a paying customer (for example, data captured via WhatsApp by the customer's engineers), the customer is the data controller and quickler is the data processor. The processing is governed by the data-processing terms set out in the Customer Terms. A standalone Data Processing Agreement is available to paying customers on request from philip@quickler.co for sharing with their own compliance or procurement team.

Automated decisions and AI processing

Messages, photos, and voice notes captured through the workflow product are processed by third-party AI and speech-to-text services to extract structured information and draft report content. Quickler does not make any solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you within the meaning of Article 22 UK GDPR. A Quickler customer's engineer or manager reviews, edits, and approves every report before it is issued, so the AI output never stands on its own as a binding decision. If you would prefer your data not to be processed by these services, contact philip@quickler.co; in practical terms the workflow product cannot function without them, so the alternative will be discontinuation of the service rather than a non-AI variant.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to the use of your personal data, and to ask for a copy of the data held about you. These are the UK GDPR rights set out in Articles 15 to 22.

To exercise those rights, email philip@quickler.co. Quickler will acknowledge within 72 hours and respond in full within one calendar month, as required by Article 12. Where you are a customer, the dashboard also provides self-service export at Dashboard → Data Export and self-service erasure by removing an engineer from your Engineers list (this cascades a full delete of their sessions, photos, voice notes, transcripts, and audit trail).

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office if you believe your data has been handled improperly. The ICO's helpline is 0303 123 1113 and its website is ico.org.uk.
