Privacy Policy

How Design Audit collects, uses, and protects your personally identifiable information.

Overview

Design Audit, operated by Recursive (“we”, “us”, “our”), is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights — including rights under applicable data protection laws such as the UK GDPR and EU GDPR.

By using Design Audit, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this policy.

What We Collect

We collect your name and email address when you create or access an account.

We process request data needed to provide a feature, such as submitted URLs, page screenshots, page structure, audit results, and user-provided context.

We collect service-usage, error, and credit-consumption data to operate, secure, and improve Design Audit.

We retain correspondence you send us, including support requests and feedback.

How We Use Your Data

We use your data to:

  • Provide core service features, including AI processing and audit report generation where applicable
  • Process payments and manage your credit balance where applicable
  • Provide customer support when requested and send essential service announcements
  • Improve the Service and fix technical issues
  • With your consent or where otherwise permitted by law, send product updates and marketing communications
  • Meet legal or contractual obligations

Data Sharing and Retention

We do not sell your personal information or submitted content.

We share data only with providers needed to operate Design Audit, including hosting, authentication, billing, and AI processing.

For AI-enabled features, we send only the content needed to fulfil your request and require AI providers not to use it to train their models.

Some providers may process data outside your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

We retain account, billing, and audit records only as long as needed to operate Design Audit, maintain audit history, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our services. We delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.
