We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our services, meet contractual commitments, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Certain categories of data — including compliance logs, HACCP records, temperature logs, training records, audit history, and account activity — may be retained after account closure where required for:
Account deletion does not automatically erase data that must be retained by law.
We may disclose relevant data where required to do so by law, court order, or lawful request from regulatory or enforcement authorities.
Such disclosures are limited to what is legally required and are logged for accountability. We do not provide informal, unauthorised, or voluntary access to customer data.
All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS), stored securely, and access-controlled. No system is 100% secure — users must also protect their account credentials.
CompliChef uses cookies for authentication, session security and usage analytics.
If you use CompliChef Recruit, you act as the data controller for candidate data. We process that data on your behalf as a data processor.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the platform means acceptance of updated terms.
