How we handle personal data on the SocialHomes.AI demo site at demo.socialhomes.ai.
Plain-English Summary: We collect the bare minimum we need to give you access to the demo and protect our intellectual property. Your email address, IP address, and access timestamps are used only to authenticate you, prevent abuse, and audit access. We do not sell your data, profile you, or use it for marketing other than directly responding to your demo enquiry. You have full UK GDPR rights including access, deletion, and portability.
The data controller for the demo site is Yantra Works Ltd, a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales.
This statement covers personal data processed by demo.socialhomes.ai. It does not cover the SocialHomes.AI production platform when deployed for a housing association customer - that processing is governed by a separate Data Processing Agreement between Yantra Works and the customer.
| Data | Source | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | You enter it on the login form | Authentication, sending one-time access codes, audit trail |
| Name, job title, organisation, role (optional) | You enter on the access request form (if not whitelisted) | Reviewing whether to grant access |
| IP address | Automatically captured on each request | Security, abuse prevention, geographic statistics |

We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling, or analytics. The session token is stored in your browser's session storage, not as a cookie, and clears when you close the tab.
We rely on the following lawful bases under UK GDPR Article 6(1):
We do not process special category data through the demo site.
We use the following third-party sub-processors to operate the demo. Each is bound by their own data protection terms and processes your data only on our instructions:

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share it with marketing networks, ad networks, or data brokers.

The demo site uses minimal browser storage:
We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party tracking technology on the demo site. We do not need a cookie banner because we do not use non-essential cookies.
We protect your data with:
The demo site is intended for professional users in social housing, technology, investment, and adjacent sectors. It is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
The demo site does not make any automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on you. Access requests submitted by non-whitelisted users are reviewed manually by a human administrator before access is granted or declined.
We may update this statement from time to time. The current version is shown at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated by email to whitelisted users where practicable.
