Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Wehand Ltd, trading as Wehand ("Wehand", "we", "us", "our"), a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17304528, registered office 124-128, City Road, London, England, EC1V 2NX), collects, uses and protects personal data in connection with the Wehand platform, websites and applications (the "Service"). We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) where applicable, and the Data Protection Act 2018.
1. Our role (controller and processor)
When we handle data about our own account holders and website visitors, we are the controller. When a business customer uses the Service to manage its drivers and staff, that business is the controller of its drivers'/staff personal data and we act as a processor on its behalf and instructions, governed by our agreement with that business including any Data Processing Agreement.
2. Personal data we collect
Account and contact data (name, email, phone, business name, role, login credentials stored hashed via our authentication provider); billing data (card/payment details processed directly by Stripe, not stored by us); Customer Data entered by Account Owners about drivers and staff (names, contact details, role, vehicle assignments, performance and safety information, scorecard data, documents, communications) processed by us as a processor; usage and technical data (IP address, device/browser info, log data, analytics); communications you send us; cookies and similar technologies.
Content you create when using Link: your chats, files you attach, facts Link learns from you, and text we extract from your documents so Link can read them.
3. How and why we use data and lawful bases
Provide and manage the account and Service (contract); process subscriptions and payments (contract); support and enquiries (legitimate interests/contract); operate, secure and improve the Service (legitimate interests); service messages (contract/legitimate interests); marketing where permitted (consent or legitimate interests with opt-out); legal compliance (legal obligation); fraud and security (legitimate interests/legal obligation); legal claims (legitimate interests/legal obligation).
4. AI features
Wehand includes Link, an assistant that answers questions about your operations. To answer, Link reads what you type and attach, and the information you have added to the operation the chat belongs to: its instructions, the names and categories of its documents, the text of documents relevant to your question, the titles of earlier chats and short passages from them, and facts it has learned from what you have told it.
This information is sent to our AI provider, Anthropic PBC, in the United States, only to produce the answer. Anthropic does not use it to train its models and deletes it within 30 days under its commercial terms. Transfers are covered by the safeguards described under International transfers.
Facts Link learns from you are saved to your operation and shown under "What Link knows" on the operation page, where you can edit or delete them at any time. Link does not save facts from the contents of documents or files.
You can stop Link reading an operation's documents in that operation's settings. Link's answers can be wrong and are not legal, medical or financial advice. Link does not make decisions about anyone; you do.
If you add information about your drivers or staff, you are the controller of that information and we process it for you, including through Anthropic as our sub-processor. You are responsible for telling your staff how their information is used.
6. International transfers
Where we transfer personal data outside the UK or EEA, we use appropriate safeguards required by law (UK/EU adequacy regulations, the International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum, or EU Standard Contractual Clauses).
7. Retention
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes described, and to meet legal, tax and accounting obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements. As processor, we retain and delete Customer Data per our agreement with the Account Owner.
Chats are kept until you delete them, or until your account is deleted. When you delete a chat, its messages and the files attached to it are deleted. Deleted documents stay in the bin for 30 days, then are permanently deleted with any text extracted from them. Facts are kept until you delete them or the operation is deleted. When you delete your account, all of its data and files are deleted within 30 days, except where we must keep billing records by law.
8. Security
Appropriate technical and organisational measures including encryption in transit, access controls and reputable infrastructure providers. No system is completely secure; you must keep login credentials confidential.
9. Your rights
Under UK and EU GDPR, subject to conditions: to be informed, access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection (including to direct marketing), and not to be subject to solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. Where we rely on consent you may withdraw it. Drivers/staff whose data was entered by a business should usually direct requests to that business as controller; we assist as processor. Contact support@wehand.co.uk; we respond within the legally required time (usually one month).
10. Complaints
Contact us first at support@wehand.co.uk. UK users may complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk, 0303 123 1113). EU users may complain to their local supervisory authority.
12. Children
Not intended for under-18s; we do not knowingly collect their data as controller.
13. Changes
We may update this Policy and will post a new "last updated" date, notifying you of material changes.
