Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

1. Introduction

SecureHome Ltd ("SecureHome", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

We are a company registered in England and Wales. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as a data controller. This policy applies to all personal data collected through our website, products, services, and communications.

By using our products and services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you have any questions, please contact us at hello@securehome.co.uk.

2. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data is:

  • Company: SecureHome Ltd
  • Registered in: England and Wales
  • Email: hello@securehome.co.uk
  • ICO Registration: Registered with the Information Commissioner's Office

3. What Personal Data We Collect

We collect and process only the personal data that is necessary to provide our products and services. The data we collect falls into the following categories:

3.1 Account and Contact Information

  • Full name — to identify you as a customer and for billing purposes
  • Email address — for account management, service notifications, security reports, and support communications
  • Home address — required for scheduling and carrying out the physical installation of your SecureHome router
  • Telephone number (if provided) — for installation scheduling and support

3.2 Payment Information

  • Payment card details — processed securely by our third-party payment processor (e.g. Stripe). SecureHome does not directly store your full card number, CVV, or other sensitive payment credentials. We may retain a truncated card reference (e.g. last four digits) and billing address for invoice and record-keeping purposes.

3.3 Service and Technical Data

  • Connection timestamps — the date and time your router connects to and disconnects from our VPN servers, for service reliability monitoring
  • Total bandwidth usage — aggregate data transfer volumes per billing period, used for billing, capacity planning, and fair usage enforcement
  • Connected device count — the number of devices connected to your SecureHome router at any given time, used for service quality monitoring and troubleshooting
  • Router hardware identifier — a unique identifier for your router unit, used for warranty tracking and service provisioning

4. What We Do NOT Collect (No-Logs Policy)

SecureHome operates a strict no-logs policy with respect to your internet activity. We do not collect, store, monitor, or log any of the following:

  • Browsing history — we do not record which websites or web pages you visit
  • DNS queries — we do not log the domain name lookups made by your devices
  • Traffic content — we do not inspect, store, or analyse the content of your internet traffic (emails, messages, downloads, uploads, streaming content, or any other data)
  • Destination IP addresses — we do not record the IP addresses of the servers or services you connect to
  • Source IP addresses per session — we do not log your ISP-assigned IP address in association with your VPN sessions

This no-logs policy is fundamental to our service. Our VPN infrastructure is built on the WireGuard protocol, which is designed with minimal state and does not log traffic by design. WireGuard maintains only the data necessary for active cryptographic sessions and discards connection information when a session ends.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data on the following legal bases under UK GDPR:

Purpose Legal Basis
Providing our products and services (account creation, installation, VPN service) Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b))
Processing payments and billing Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b))
Sending service notifications and security reports Performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b))
Maintaining service quality and diagnosing faults Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f))
Complying with legal obligations (e.g. tax records) Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c))
Responding to support requests Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f))

6. Data Sharing and Third Parties

6.1 We Do Not Sell Your Data

SecureHome does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal data with third parties for their marketing or commercial purposes. This is a firm commitment and a core principle of our business.

6.2 Data Processors

We work with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers ("data processors") who process personal data on our behalf and under our instruction. These include:

  • Payment processor (e.g. Stripe) — for securely processing subscription payments and one-time purchases
  • Hosting and infrastructure provider — for hosting our VPN servers and backend systems
  • Email service provider — for sending transactional emails such as receipts, security reports, and service notifications

All data processors are bound by data processing agreements that require them to process your data only on our instructions, maintain appropriate security measures, and comply with applicable data protection law.

6.3 Legal Disclosure

We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process (such as a court order). However, given our no-logs policy, we do not hold browsing history, DNS queries, traffic content, or destination IP addresses, and therefore cannot provide such data even if requested. We will notify you of any legal request for your data unless prohibited from doing so by law.

7. Data Retention

7.1 Active Accounts

We retain your personal data for the duration of your active account and subscription with SecureHome. This includes your contact information, billing records, and service data as described in Section 3.

7.2 After Cancellation

When you cancel your subscription, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days of your cancellation date, except where we are required to retain certain records for legal or regulatory purposes (such as financial records required for tax compliance, which are retained for up to 7 years as required by HMRC).

7.3 Connection and Usage Logs

Connection timestamps and bandwidth usage data are retained for the current billing period plus one additional billing cycle (for dispute resolution), after which they are permanently deleted. Device count data is transient and not stored beyond real-time monitoring.

8. Data Security

We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit using TLS 1.3
  • Encryption of data at rest where applicable
  • Access controls limiting data access to authorised personnel only
  • Regular security assessments of our infrastructure
  • Secure deletion procedures for data that is no longer required

While we take all reasonable precautions, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If you become aware of any security breach affecting your account, please contact us immediately at hello@securehome.co.uk.

9. Your Rights Under UK GDPR

Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (Articles 15–21) and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

9.1 Right of Access (Article 15)

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will respond to your request within one month and provide the data in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

9.2 Right to Rectification (Article 16)

You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. You can update your contact and billing information at any time by emailing us.

9.3 Right to Erasure (Article 17)

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent, or where there is no overriding legitimate reason for us to continue processing it. Please note that we may need to retain certain data for legal compliance purposes.

9.4 Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another data controller without hindrance from us.

9.5 Right to Object (Article 21)

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing. We will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

9.6 Right to Restrict Processing (Article 18)

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.

9.7 How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@securehome.co.uk. We will respond to your request within one month. In exceptional circumstances, where requests are particularly complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further two months, but we will notify you of any extension and the reasons for it within the initial one-month period.

9.8 Right to Complain

If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data or respond to your requests, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO):

  • Website: ico.org.uk
  • Telephone: 0303 123 1113

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach the ICO. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve any issues.

10. Cookies

Our website uses only minimal, strictly necessary cookies. These are limited to:

  • Session cookies — temporary cookies that are essential for the functioning of our website and are deleted when you close your browser. These may include authentication tokens if you log into your account.

We do not use:

  • Advertising or tracking cookies
  • Third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics)
  • Social media tracking pixels
  • Cross-site tracking of any kind

Because we only use strictly necessary cookies, we are not required to obtain your consent for their use under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). However, we believe in full transparency and have documented our cookie usage here for your information.

11. International Data Transfers

Your personal data is primarily processed and stored within the United Kingdom. Where data is transferred outside the UK (for example, if a data processor operates servers in another jurisdiction), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the ICO, or transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection.

12. Children's Privacy

Our products and services are intended for purchase by adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 18. If you believe that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete that data.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of this policy will be revised accordingly.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of our products and services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you may cancel your subscription in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
