Privacy Policy
This policy explains what personal data Crushing Digital collects when you visit crushing.digital or join the community, why we collect it, and your rights over it. We keep it short and only collect what we need to run the membership.
Who we are
Crushing Digital Ltd is the data controller for your personal data. We are a company registered in England and Wales (company number 11525460), registered office 9 Kingsley Road, Stafford, ST17 9BZ, United Kingdom.
Questions or requests about your data: david@crushing.digital.
What we collect
- When you join: your name and email address, entered in the sign-up form.
- Payment details: handled entirely by Stripe on its secure checkout page. We never see or store your full card number. Stripe shares with us your name, email, billing country, the last four digits of your card and your subscription status.
- Membership records: when you joined, your plan and its status (active, past due or cancelled).
- Previous customers: if you were a member of our earlier courses or programmes, we hold the name, email, join date and plan history from that membership.
- What you share in the community: messages in our Slack workspace, and any CV, LinkedIn, GitHub or portfolio you choose to share for review on a live call.
- Basic technical data: our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and to keep the site running.
How and why we use it
| Purpose | Lawful basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Setting up and running your membership, taking payment, giving you access to Slack and live calls | Contract |
| Sending emails about your membership (receipts, schedule changes, important updates) | Contract |
| Keeping records of past customers so we can recognise and support returning members | Legitimate interests |
| Keeping accounting and tax records | Legal obligation |
| Keeping the site secure and preventing fraud | Legitimate interests |
We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for advertising.
Live calls and recordings
Live sessions are recorded and the replays are shared with members only. If you take part in a mock interview or put your CV or profiles forward for a roast, you will appear in that replay. Tell us before or during the session if you would rather stay anonymous, and we will blur or remove your details from the replay on request.
Who we share it with
We use a small number of trusted services to run the membership. Each only receives what it needs:
| Service | What for | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe | Payments, subscriptions, receipts and the billing portal | UK, EU and US |
| Supabase | Our database of members | London, UK |
| Vercel | Website hosting | US and global edge network |
| Cloudflare | Domain name (DNS) | Global |
| Slack | The private community workspace | US |
| Google Meet | Live calls | UK, EU and US |
Where data is transferred outside the UK, these providers rely on UK-approved safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or the UK–US data bridge.
Cookies
This site does not use advertising or analytics cookies, so there is no cookie banner. Stripe sets its own cookies on its checkout page to process payments securely and prevent fraud; see Stripe's cookie policy.
How long we keep it
- Membership records: while you are a member and for 2 years after you leave, so we can help if you come back.
- Payment and invoice records: 6 years, as required for tax.
- Previous-customer records: until you ask us to delete them.
- Live call replays: while the membership runs, unless you ask us to remove your part.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the data we hold about you;
- correct anything that is wrong;
- delete your data (except records we must keep by law);
- stop or limit how we use it, or object to our legitimate-interests uses;
- send your data to you or another provider in a portable format.
Email david@crushing.digital and we will reply within one month. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and tell members about any important changes.
