GDPR & Data Rights

Last updated: 22 April 2026

1. Our Commitment

KlevAI takes your privacy seriously. We comply fully with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. The data controller is Shubert Singoyi (KlevAI), England and Wales. This page explains your rights in plain English and exactly how to exercise them.

2. Your Rights Explained

πŸ“‹

Right of Access

You can ask us for a full copy of the personal data we hold about you β€” including what it is, why we have it, and who we share it with.

✏️

Right to Rectification

If any data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to correct it. We will update it within 30 days.

πŸ—‘οΈ

Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")

You can ask us to delete all personal data we hold about you. We will comply unless we have a legal obligation to retain certain records (e.g. payment records for 7 years).

⏸️

Right to Restriction

You can ask us to pause processing your data β€” for example while you contest its accuracy β€” without requiring full deletion.

πŸ“¦

Right to Data Portability

You can ask for your account data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (e.g. JSON or CSV) so you can take it elsewhere.

🚫

Right to Object

You can object to us processing your data on the basis of legitimate interests (e.g. analytics). We will stop unless we can demonstrate compelling grounds that override your rights.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

KlevAI does not make automated decisions about you that produce legal or similarly significant effects. AI-generated outputs are informational tools, not automated decisions.

3. How to Exercise Your Rights

Email hello@klevai.co.uk with the subject line:

Data Request β€” [Right You Are Exercising]

For example: β€œData Request β€” Erasure” or β€œData Request β€” Access”.

  • Include the email address associated with your KlevAI account.
  • We will acknowledge your request within 5 working days.
  • We will fulfil your request within 30 calendar days.
  • For complex or multiple requests we may extend by a further 2 months β€” we will notify you if so.
  • We will not charge a fee for reasonable requests.

4. Cookies

KlevAI uses one cookie only:

klevai-session β€” a strictly necessary JWT that authenticates your session. It is required for the service to function and does not track you across websites.

  • No analytics cookies (no Google Analytics, Hotjar, or similar).
  • No advertising pixels or retargeting scripts.
  • No third-party social media tracking buttons.
  • Because only a strictly necessary cookie is used, no consent banner is required under PECR.

5. International Data Transfers

Where data is transferred outside the UK/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:
