Last updated: 3 May 2026

1. Who we are

H.A.B.I.B.I (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the household operations platform accessible at ihabibi.uk and related subdomains. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our marketing website or use our platform.

2. What data we collect

Marketing website (www.ihabibi.uk)

  • Waitlist sign-up: If you join our waitlist, we collect your email address. We use a third-party email service to store and manage waitlist entries securely.
  • Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics to understand how visitors use our website. No personal data is collected for this purpose unless you explicitly provide it (e.g., via the waitlist form).

Product platform (app.ihabibi.uk)

  • Account information: When you register, we collect your name and email address. Passwords are bcrypt-hashed and never stored in plain text.
  • Household data: Vehicle registration numbers, property postcodes, reminder content, and related household information that you choose to add to your account.
  • Usage data: We do not sell, share, or use your household data for advertising or profiling purposes.

3. How we use your data

  • To provide and operate the H.A.B.I.B.I service
  • To send waitlist updates and early access invitations (with your consent)
  • To improve and develop the product based on usage patterns
  • To communicate service-related announcements

We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or automated decision-making.

4. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., email delivery, hosting) solely to operate the service. These providers are contractually bound to handle your data securely and in compliance with UK data protection law.

5. Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including:

  • JWT-based authentication with short-lived access tokens
  • Bcrypt-hashed passwords (cost factor 12)
  • Parameterised database queries (Prisma ORM)
  • HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
  • Strict input validation on all API endpoints

6. Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@ihabibi.uk.

7. Cookies

Our marketing website uses minimal cookies. The product platform uses essential session cookies for authentication. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or through the platform.
