Privacy policy

Last updated: 16 July 2026

Who we are

YOUR LEGAL COMPANY NAME LTD operates MerchantReady. Contact privacy@example.com for privacy questions.

Information we process

When you run a scan, we process the website URL, publicly accessible page content, technical response information, detected links and audit findings. We may also process your IP address, browser information, server logs and any details you submit through a contact form or account.

Why we process information

We use information to provide audits, secure the service, prevent abuse, diagnose faults, improve check accuracy, respond to enquiries and meet legal obligations. Where applicable, our legal bases may include contract performance, legitimate interests, consent and compliance with law.

Public website content

The scanner accesses public web pages in a manner similar to a limited crawler. You must be authorised to scan the submitted website. We do not ask for Merchant Center passwords or private store credentials in the free public scan.

Retention

Reports and related logs may be retained for service delivery, security and troubleshooting. Retention periods should be configured according to your operational and legal requirements. You may request deletion where applicable.

Sharing

Information may be processed by hosting, security, analytics, email and payment providers acting under appropriate contractual safeguards. We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect users and the service.

International transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where required, appropriate transfer safeguards should be used.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. You may also complain to the relevant supervisory authority.

Security

We use proportionate technical and organisational measures, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. Do not submit secrets or credentials through scan fields.

Changes

We may update this policy when the service, law or providers change. The updated date will appear above.
