Privacy Policy
Last updated: 16 October 2026
GraftG is part of the Grafto family, a trading name of Green and Home Limited (Company No. 04204020), registered in England & Wales. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our service.
1. What data we collect
- Account data: name, email address, and phone number when you sign up.
- Business data: business name, VAT number, hourly rate, bank sort code and account number (stored securely and only used to populate invoice PDFs).
- WhatsApp messages: text and image content you send to your GraftG number, used to power the service (mileage, quotes, receipts, jobs). Messages are processed by AI and the results stored. Voice notes are transcribed and the transcript is kept for 30 days (to power the service and investigate errors), then deleted automatically; receipt photos are stored so you can view them later. To catch and fix extraction mistakes, we also keep a short-lived debugging log of each AI-processed message alongside what the AI made of it — this log is deleted automatically after 30 days. Other raw message content is not retained beyond processing.
- Mileage, job, receipt, and quote records you create via the service.
- Support requests: what you write in the support form at app.graftg.co.uk, and any screenshots you choose to attach. Screenshots are stored with Cloudflare (R2) and emailed to our support inbox so we can see the problem.
- Payment data: billing handled by Stripe. We store only a Stripe customer ID and subscription status. We never see your full card number.
- Usage data: standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited) retained for 30 days.
- Usage counters: per WhatsApp number, per day — how many messages were sent and received and how much AI processing they used (counts only, never message content). We use these to apply fair-use limits and keep costs in check, and delete them automatically after 400 days (about 13 months).
2. How we use your data
- To provide, personalise, and improve the GraftG service.
- To send weekly/monthly summary emails you have opted into.
- To process payments and manage your subscription.
- To comply with legal obligations (HMRC record-keeping requirements).
- To contact you about your account or service updates.
3. Legal basis (UK GDPR)
We process your data on the basis of contract performance (to deliver the service you signed up for) and legitimate interests (to improve the service and prevent fraud). Where required, we will ask for your consent.
4. Data sharing
We do not sell your data. We share it only with the following sub-processors necessary to deliver the service:
- Cloudflare — hosting, database, and CDN (US/EU).
- Anthropic — AI processing of message content. Under Anthropic's API terms, our data is not used to train their models.
- Meta (WhatsApp) — message delivery via WhatsApp Cloud API.
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Resend — transactional email delivery.
- Clerk — authentication.
- Cloudflare Workers AI — transcribing voice notes you send. The audio is processed by Cloudflare to produce the text and is not stored by them.
- Cloudflare Browser Rendering — turning your quotes and invoices into PDFs (and creating the picture cards GraftG sends you).
- Google (Routes API) — the start and end postcodes of trips you ask GraftG to work out the mileage for, to get the road distance.
- postcodes.io — postcode lookups (checking a postcode and finding where it is).
- Xero — accounting integration (only if you enable this feature).
Transfers outside the UK. Some of these providers process data in the United States or elsewhere outside the UK. Our database and stored documents are hosted with Cloudflare in Western Europe. When your data, or your customers' data, is processed outside the UK, it is protected by the safeguards in that provider's data processing terms. For example, Anthropic's terms include the UK International Data Transfer Addendum approved by the Information Commissioner. To find out which safeguard applies to a particular provider, email hello@graftg.co.uk.
5. Data retention
We retain your account and business records for as long as your account is active plus 7 years (to comply with HMRC record-keeping requirements). You can request deletion at any time; statutory data may be retained for the legally required period.
Some data is deleted automatically on a shorter timetable:
- Voice-note transcripts — after 30 days.
- AI debugging log (each AI-processed message and what the AI made of it) — after 30 days.
- Daily usage counters (message and AI usage counts per number, no message content) — after 400 days (about 13 months).
- Server logs — after 30 days.
- Screenshots attached to support requests — after 12 months (the request itself is kept with your account).
- Declined and waiting-list Founding Tradies applications — after 12 months (see below).
Founding Tradies applications (graftg.co.uk/founders): name, trade, WhatsApp number, email, postcode area, jobs per week and your answer to "why you". Approved applications are kept for the life of the account as the record of your place. Declined and waiting-list applications are deleted automatically after 12 months. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running the programme, and your consent to be contacted about your application.
Meta (Facebook) advertising on graftg.co.uk/founders. When we run ads for the Founding Tradies programme, the /founders page can set a Meta pixel cookie — only after you click "OK" on the cookie notice — so Meta can tell us which ads brought people to the page. If you submit an application we also send Meta a "Lead" event from our server containing your email address and phone number in hashed (irreversible) form, plus your IP address and browser type, so the ad campaign can be measured and improved. Legal basis: consent for the cookie; our legitimate interest in measuring advertising for the server event. Meta is a separate data controller for how it uses this — see Meta's privacy policy. We also record which ad (campaign and creative name) your application came from.
Testimonials. If you give us a written or video testimonial we store it, and — if you reply YES when we ask — a record of your consent to use it publicly (first name, trade, and for video your likeness and voice). We keep the consent record for as long as the testimonial is in use, and for 6 years afterwards as evidence of consent. You can withdraw consent for future use at any time by emailing hello@graftg.co.uk; see the programme terms.
6. Data deletion
To delete your GraftG account and all associated data, email hello@graftg.co.uk from the email address linked to your account with the subject line "Delete my account". We will confirm receipt and complete the deletion within 30 days. Some data (e.g. invoices, mileage logs) may be retained for up to 7 years where required by UK tax law (HMRC record-keeping obligations).
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to: access, correct, or delete your data; object to or restrict processing; and data portability. To exercise these rights, email hello@graftg.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the ICO.
Your customers' data
When you store customer details in GraftG (names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses on quotes, invoices, jobs and bookings), you are the data controller for that information and GraftG processes it on your behalf, solely to provide the service to you. If a customer books a visit through your public booking page, we collect the details they enter (name, phone, address, optional email) for you, to manage that booking. We do not use your customers' details for marketing and never sell them. Deleting your account deletes them (subject to the statutory retention periods above).
8. Cookies
We don't use analytics cookies anywhere. On our marketing site (graftg.co.uk), the only non-essential cookie is the Meta advertising pixel on the Founding Tradies page (graftg.co.uk/founders), and it is set only after you click "OK" on the cookie notice there — see section 5 above. No other page on graftg.co.uk sets advertising cookies.
The app (app.graftg.co.uk) uses a session cookie set by Clerk, our authentication provider, which is strictly necessary for the service to work — signing you in and keeping you signed in. Strictly necessary cookies don't need consent under UK PECR.
9. Security
All data, including bank details, is encrypted at rest by our hosting provider and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Bank details appear only on the invoices you generate. We perform regular security reviews.
10. Changes to this policy
We will notify you by email of any material changes. The current version is always at graftg.co.uk/privacy.
