Privacy policy
Last updated: Draft of 18 October 2026
In short
HEIP checks whether a person is using a website. It does this without learning who they are. We don't collect what people type, their identity or biometrics, and we keep what we do collect for a short time.
1.Who we are
HEIP is operated by [Company legal name], [registered address]. Email: [privacy@ contact address].
Data protection contact: [name or role, and EU / UK representative if applicable].
2.Our role
This policy covers two groups of people, and our role is different for each.
- A. Visitors to websites that use HEIP. We process data on behalf of the website owner, our customer. We act as their processor.
- B. HEIP customers and visitors to this website. We decide how this data is used. We act as the controller.
Legal characterisation of these roles: [confirm with counsel].
3.A. What we collect from visitors to customer websites
- Interaction timing and coarse page state: how the page is being used, not what is on it.
- The network address of the connection, for security and rate limiting.
- The session and action identifiers our customer's server sends us, and any reference our customer adds.
4.A. What we do not collect
We do not collect typed characters or which keys are pressed, form values, page content, names, emails, phone numbers, identity documents, faces, voices or other biometrics, cookies or cross-site identifiers.
We do not build profiles of people or track them across websites.
5.A. Why we process it
To help our customer protect important actions on their website, such as payments, logins and withdrawals, against automated abuse, and to keep our own service secure.
Legal basis: [for example, our customer's legitimate interest in preventing fraud, and contract; confirm with counsel].
6.B. Customers and visitors to this website
- Account details for the HEIP dashboard: name, work email and a hashed password.
- Billing details: [describe once billing exists].
- Messages you send us, by email or through a contact form.
This website does not use analytics or advertising cookies. If you choose a light or dark theme, that choice is stored in your browser's local storage and never sent to us.
Legal basis: [contract and legitimate interest; confirm with counsel].
7.How long we keep data
| Live session state | While the visit is active, then expires |
|---|---|
| Detailed decision record (trace) | 1 hour |
| Decision history | 30 days |
| Usage counters | 40 days |
| Audit log | 365 days |
| Network addresses | [confirm where they are logged and for how long] |
| Customer account details | While the account exists |
9.International transfers
[where data is processed, and the safeguards used for transfers; depends on hosting location]
10.Security
Decisions are only ever returned to our customer's server, keys are domain-locked and stored hashed, and data from the browser is protected against tampering and replay. Details are on our security page.
11.Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct or delete your data, object to or restrict its use, receive a copy of it, and complain to a supervisory authority.
If you visited a website that uses HEIP, please contact that website first: they decide how HEIP is used, and we will help them answer you.
Applicable laws and authorities: [confirm with counsel].
12.Children
HEIP is a service for businesses and is not directed at children.
13.Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, tell our customers directly before the change takes effect.
14.Contact
[Company legal name], [registered address]. Email: [privacy@ contact address].
