This page says what Auditlodge does with your information. It was written from the software itself, not from a template, so it describes what the system actually stores rather than what would be convenient to claim.
The controller is Vitadefence Ltd, 3rd Floor, 86-90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE, England, company number 15979768, registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under number ZC106169.
What we hold, and why
| What | Why we have it | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|
| The website address you gave us | It is the thing you asked us to audit | The order file and the report |
| Your email address | To send you the link to your report | The order file and the delivery record |
| A private link for your report | It is how you open the report without an account | The order file and the folder holding your four PDFs and your pack pages |
| The report itself — every page of your site we opened and what we found | It is the thing you bought | Stored so your link keeps working |
| The IP address your browser connects from | It is written by the web server as every web server does | The server log on the machine |
| Times and dates | To run the queue and show you when the audit was done | The order file |
Why we are allowed to hold it
Because you asked us to do a specific job and we need it to do that job — performance of a contract under Article 6(1)(b) of the UK GDPR. The server log entry is our legitimate interest in keeping the service working and secure, Article 6(1)(f).
Who else sees it
- Our data supplier — the website address is sent to them so their crawler and their search database can do their part of the audit. Your email address is not.
- Polar — they take the payment and therefore hold your email address and your payment details as merchant of record.
- Our email provider — the message with your report passes through it.
We do not sell your information, we do not advertise to you, and we do not add you to a mailing list.
How long we keep it
Plainly: the report and the order record stay on our machine so that the link we sent you keeps working. Nothing deletes itself on a timer. If you want your order, your email address and your report removed, email info@auditlodge.com and we will delete them and tell you when it is done. After that the link stops working.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, ask us to restrict what we do with it, or object to it. Email info@auditlodge.com. If you are not happy with how we answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or 0303 123 1113.
