Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or to stop us contacting you. Email hello@spareoctopus.com and we’ll respond within 30 days. If you’re in India, you also have rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Client data
When we build for a client, we only access the systems and data the work needs, use the client’s own accounts wherever possible, sign a confidentiality agreement on request, and hand everything over at the end.
Security
We use encrypted connections, two-factor authentication on our accounts and least-privilege access. No system is perfectly secure, but we’ll tell you promptly if something affecting your data goes wrong.
