In plain English
We only want to collect the data we need to run TrustedStatus properly, improve the service, manage accounts and alerts, and meet our legal obligations. This page explains what we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over your personal data.
Who We Are
TrustedStatus is operated by ExieLabs Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (Companies House registration number: 14314034).
For the purposes of data protection law, ExieLabs Limited is the data controller for personal data collected through TrustedStatus.
TrustedStatus is an independent service monitoring platform that provides availability insights, historical status information, and optional alerts relating to selected third-party services.

Information collected automatically
- IP address
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited and interaction data
- Access times, dates, and related technical logs
Payment and subscription information
We do not store full card or payment details ourselves. Payments may be processed by third-party providers such as Stripe. We may receive limited information needed to manage billing and subscriptions, such as payment status, subscription tier, renewal state, and transaction references.
How We Use Your Data
We use personal data to:
- Provide and operate TrustedStatus
- Manage accounts, subscriptions, and alerts
- Send notifications you have requested

- Contract: where processing is necessary to provide services you have requested, such as account access, subscriptions, or alerts
- Legitimate interests: where necessary to run, secure, support, and improve TrustedStatus
- Consent: where required, such as for certain optional notifications or non-essential cookies

Data Sharing
We may share personal data with trusted third-party service providers where necessary to operate TrustedStatus, including:
- Payment providers, such as Stripe
- Cloud and hosting providers, such as AWS
- Email, notification, or messaging providers
- Analytics providers, where enabled
These providers only receive the data needed for their role and are expected to process it securely and lawfully.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Provide the service to you
- Manage subscriptions and user accounts
- Maintain security and audit records
- Meet legal, regulatory, tax, or accounting obligations
- Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements
Where personal data is no longer needed, we will delete it, anonymise it, or otherwise securely dispose of it.
Your Rights
Under UK GDPR, you may have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of your data in certain circumstances
- Request restriction of processing
- Object to certain types of processing

Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to help protect personal data, including:
- HTTPS and encrypted transport where appropriate
- Access controls and least-privilege principles
- Managed cloud security controls and monitoring
- Reasonable steps to reduce unauthorised access or misuse
No internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, but we work to protect the data we hold in a reasonable and proportionate way.
International Transfers
Some of our service providers may process personal data outside the United Kingdom.
Where international transfers take place, we aim to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as contractual protections or equivalent lawful transfer mechanisms.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to TrustedStatus, our service providers, legal requirements, or how we process personal data.
