Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 July 2026
1. Who we are
myhandlers (“we”, “us”) is the data controller responsible for your personal data within the meaning of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Controller: myhandlers, operated by Ayush Bhatt (data controller), of 72 Squirrels Heath Lane, RM112DZ, UK. You can reach our data-protection contact at hello@myhandlers.com.
2. What personal data we collect
This website is in its early “coming soon” phase. We deliberately collect the minimum:
- Email address — when you register your interest in the alpha.
- Your name (optional) — only if you choose to provide it, so we can address you personally.
- Basic technical data — your internet browser and operating system may be included in standard server logs. We do not deploy advertising trackers, fingerprinting or third-party analytics on this site.
We do not collect special-category (sensitive) data via this website, and you should not include any in the registration form.
3. How we use it
- To record and confirm your interest in the alpha programme.
- To contact you with invitations, onboarding details and occasional product news directly related to myhandlers.
- To respond to any message you send us.
- To keep a record of consents and requests, as required for accountability under the UK GDPR.
We will never sell your personal data, and we do not use it to profile you for advertising.
4. Legal basis for processing
We process your email and name on the legal basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the UK GDPR) — you give this when you submit the registration form. You can withdraw consent at any time (see Your rights); withdrawal does not affect processing that took place before it.
We may also rely on legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)) for limited, necessary activities such as keeping server logs for security and responding to your messages.
5. AI & how your data is protected
myhandlers' differentiator is how it protects you when AI is involved. When the product launches:
- Anonymisation before any model. A dedicated persona layer intercepts your messages and replaces identifying details with tokens before anything is sent to a language model, then restores real details for you in the response. The model never sees your raw personal data.
- Model-agnostic. You can use local or hosted models. Your data is never silently locked to a single provider.
- Local-first backends. Each skill is backed by open-source systems (for example, self-hosted calendar/file servers) that can run on infrastructure you control.
For the avoidance of doubt: the email you register on this website today is not sent to any language model. It is simply stored securely so we can invite you to the alpha.
6. Sharing & sub-processors
We share your data only with service providers (sub-processors) that help us operate the site, under written terms requiring them to keep it secure and process it only on our instructions. For this early site these may include our hosting and database providers. We will keep an up-to-date list of sub-processors available on request.
We will disclose data if required to do so by law (for example, a valid court order or request from a lawful authority), or to protect our rights and the safety of others.
7. International data transfers
Your data is hosted on infrastructure located in the United Kingdom, and we do not transfer it outside the UK. If that ever changes (for example, because we add a non-UK hosting provider), we will update this policy and rely on appropriate safeguards — such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, or the UK GDPR's adequacy regulations — before any transfer occurs.
8. How long we keep it
- Alpha interest list: until the alpha concludes and any related follow-up is complete, or until you ask us to delete it — whichever is sooner.
- Server logs: retained only as long as needed for security and stability, then deleted.
If you would like your details removed sooner, email hello@myhandlers.com.
9. Security
We protect your data with measures appropriate to its sensitivity: encryption in transit (TLS) for data moving between your browser and our services, and encryption at rest for sensitive stored values, plus access controls and monitored hosting. No method of transmission or storage is ever 100% secure, but we work to meet the security requirements of the UK GDPR (Article 32).
10. Cookies & analytics
This site uses no advertising or tracking cookies and no third-party analytics. Strictly-necessary cookies (if any are added for security in future) do not require consent. If we introduce optional cookies, we will ask for your consent first and update this section.
11. Your rights
Under the UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Rectify data that is inaccurate or incomplete;
- Erase your data (“the right to be forgotten”);
- Restrict or object to our processing;
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format;
- Withdraw consent at any time (where we rely on consent);
- Be free from decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@myhandlers.com. We will respond within one month (we may extend this by two months for complex requests, in which case we will tell you why).
12. Children
myhandlers is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has given us personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as myhandlers develops. We will revise the “Last updated” date above and, where changes are significant, notify you (for example, by email if you're on the alpha list).
14. Contact & complaints
Questions or requests about your data? Email hello@myhandlers.com.
You also have the right to complain to the UK's data-protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), if you believe we have not handled your data properly: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, telephone 0303 123 1113, or write to ICO, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
