Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Cyber Seeds exists to help households understand and care for their digital lives — calmly, safely, and without judgement. We take privacy seriously. This policy explains what data is involved, where it lives, and who controls it, in clear language.
This policy is split into two parts, because Cyber Seeds works in two very different ways: (A) Snapshot Self-Check (local-only) and (B) Audit/Contact & Services.
Part A — Snapshot Self-Check (Local-Only)
What the Snapshot is
The Cyber Seeds Snapshot is a self-check tool that helps you reflect on your household’s digital setup across five lenses (devices, network, privacy, scams, and wellbeing). It is designed to be calm and non-judgemental, private by default, and safe for families to use independently.
Where Snapshot data lives
Snapshot data is stored only on your device.
- It runs entirely in your browser.
- It is saved using local browser storage.
- It is not sent to Cyber Seeds.
- It is not uploaded to any server.
- We cannot see it, access it, or recover it if you delete it or change device.
This includes your answers to Snapshot questions, your household signal or lens indicators, any comparisons between snapshots, and any local history or progress.
Digital Passport exports
If you choose to export a Digital Passport (JSON), a Plain-English Summary (DOC/HTML), or a Snapshot report (HTML/PDF via print), the file is created locally on your device. You choose whether to save, share, or delete it. Cyber Seeds does not receive a copy.
Clearing Snapshot data
You can remove Snapshot data at any time by using the “clear” or “reset” options on the site (where available), or by clearing your browser’s local storage / site data. Once cleared, the Snapshot history is permanently removed from that device.
Important to know
- Because the Snapshot is local-only, changing device or browser won’t automatically transfer your Snapshot history.
- If you clear your browser data, your Snapshot history may be erased.
- This is intentional — it protects your privacy.
Part B — Audit, Contact & Services
Cyber Seeds only handles personal data when you actively choose to contact us or request a service. Snapshot self-check data and audit/contact data are kept separate by design.
When we collect data
We may collect limited personal information if you:
- Email us
- Submit a contact or booking form
- Request a Cyber Seeds audit or service
- Engage in a paid or commissioned piece of work
What data we may collect
Depending on the context, this may include:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your role or organisation (if relevant)
- Information you choose to share about your household, concerns, or service needs
We only collect what is necessary to respond to your enquiry, deliver a requested service, and communicate clearly and safely.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not share your data with advertisers.
- We do not use behavioural tracking to profile you.
- We do not combine Snapshot self-check data with audit/contact data.
How data is stored
- Contact and audit data is stored securely.
- Access is restricted to Cyber Seeds only.
- Data is handled with safeguarding and confidentiality in mind.
How long we keep data
- We retain contact or audit data only as long as necessary.
- You can request deletion at any time.
- Where required for professional, legal, or safeguarding reasons, some audit records may be retained for a reasonable period. If this applies, we will explain it clearly.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR), you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, ask for corrections, request deletion, and ask how your data is being used.
Children, families, and safeguarding
Cyber Seeds is designed to be family-safe and child-aware. We do not knowingly collect personal data directly from children. The Snapshot tools are designed for use with a parent, carer, or responsible adult.
Cyber Seeds is not an emergency service. If you believe a child is at immediate risk, contact emergency services and follow your local safeguarding procedures.
Cookies and tracking
Cyber Seeds does not use advertising cookies or behavioural tracking. Any essential site functionality is kept minimal and used only to ensure the site works correctly.
Changes and contact
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we will keep the language clear and human, update the “Last updated” date, and never quietly change how Snapshot data works without making it explicit.

Final note: Your household’s digital life belongs to you. Our job is to help you understand it — not take it from you.
