The small print

Privacy policy

Effective 11 July 2026

The short version:Tradapt has no accounts and sets no trackers of its own. Your quotes and calculations are stored in your own browser, not on our servers. If you buy Pro, Stripe handles the payment and we never see your card details. The benchmark pages carry Google adverts, with a consent prompt where the law requires one. That's most of it — the detail is below.

Who we are

Tradapt is operated by Joseph Hall, a sole trader trading as Tradapt, in the United Kingdom. Joseph Hall is the data controller for the limited personal data described in this policy. The way to reach us is by email: tradapt.support@gmail.com.

What we process, and why

Calculator, quote and invoice data — stays on your device

Everything you type into the calculators, the quote builder and the invoice generator (business details, client names and addresses, prices, any payment or bank details you enter, logos on Pro) is stored in your browser's local storage on your device. It is never transmitted to us and we cannot see it. Clearing your browser data deletes it.

Payments — handled by Stripe

Tradapt Pro payments are processed by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd / Stripe, Inc. We never receive your card number. Through Stripe's dashboard we can see your name, email address, and subscription status, which we use to provide Pro, handle refunds and meet our tax and accounting obligations (legal basis: performance of a contract, and legal obligation for accounting records). Stripe acts as an independent controller for payment processing and fraud prevention — see the Stripe privacy policy.

The Pro cookie

After a successful checkout we set one cookie, tradapt_pro, containing a signed token that switches Pro features on in your browser for up to 12 months. It is strictly necessary to deliver the service you bought, so it does not require consent. We set no analytics cookies of our own — the only third-party cookies on the site come from advertising, below.

Advertising — Google AdSense (only with your consent)

Our benchmark pages (the day-rate guides) can carry adverts served by Google AdSense — but no advertising code loads at all until you press Accept on the cookie banner (legal basis: consent). Decline and you simply see no ads; every tool still works. Your choice is remembered for 6 months in a tradapt_consentcookie (strictly necessary — it only stores the choice itself), and you can change it anytime via “Cookie choices” in the footer. If you accept, Google and its partners may use cookies to serve and measure ads. We do not place ads inside the calculators, the quote builder, the Get Paid tracker, checkout, or the embeddable widget. To learn how Google uses data from sites that carry its ads, see policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites; you can manage ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com.

Server logs — hosting by Vercel

tradapt.com is hosted on Vercel. Like virtually all web hosts, Vercel generates standard request logs (IP address, user agent, pages requested) which we use for security and keeping the site running (legal basis: legitimate interests). Logs are retained short-term. See the Vercel privacy policy.

Email

If you email us we keep the correspondence for as long as needed to deal with it (legitimate interests).

The embedded widget

Other websites can embed our day-rate widget in an iframe served from tradapt.com. When you view a page with the widget, your browser requests it from our host, generating the same standard server logs as any page view. The widget contains no tracking and we do not profile visitors across sites.

Local storage we use

tradapt-quote-draft, tradapt-quotes, tradapt-quote-counter — your quote builder data, on your device only.
tradapt-invoice-draft, tradapt-invoice-drafts, tradapt-invoice-counter — your invoice generator data (including any payment/bank details you enter), on your device only.
tradapt-invoices — your Get Paid invoice tracker data, on your device only.
tradapt_consent (cookie) — your accept/decline choice from the cookie banner, kept 6 months.

Who we share data with

Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting) and Google (advertising on benchmark pages), as described above. We do not sell personal data or share it with anyone else unless legally required.

International transfers

Stripe and Vercel may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. These transfers are safeguarded by UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement/Addendum, or equivalent mechanisms maintained by those providers.

How long we keep things

Payment and subscription records: 6 years (UK tax law).
Server logs: short-term rolling retention by our host.
Email correspondence: as long as needed to handle it.
Your device's local storage: until you clear it — it's yours.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask us for access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, object to or restrict processing, and request portability. Email tradapt.support@gmail.comand we'll respond within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the effective date at the top. Material changes will be flagged on the site.
