Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

This policy explains what personal information BraVo collects, why, and what happens to it.

BraVo is operated by Crunch Creative Design Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 05001799), whose registered office is BLOCK, 23 Melville Building, Plymouth PL1 3RP, United Kingdom. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Crunch Creative Design Ltd.

We are the data controller for the personal information described here.

Questions about this policy, or any request about your information, should go to hello@brandedvoice.co.uk.


Who BraVo is for

BraVo is a business tool. It is intended for businesses and professional users aged 18 or over. It is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect information about anyone under 18.


What we collect

Information you give us when you request a brand personality profile

The brand personality profile is free. To produce it and send it to you, we ask for:

  • Your first name
  • Your email address
  • Your role: business owner, marketer, designer or agency
  • Your industry, or "Other" if yours is not listed
  • Your answers to the personality questions, and the personality result we work out from them

You can also tick a box that says "Send me a few short emails on putting my personality to work. Unsubscribe any time." The box is not ticked for you. If you tick it, we record that you said yes, the exact words you were shown, and when. Leaving it unticked on a later request never withdraws a yes you gave earlier, but unsubscribing does.

Information collected automatically when you request a brand personality profile

  • Campaign tags. If the link you followed carried campaign tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_content), we store them, together with the address of the page that sent you to us, if your browser shares it. This tells us which campaigns bring people to the test.
  • A scrambled version of your IP address. We never store your IP address itself. We store a one-way, salted hash of it, which we use only to limit how many brand personality profiles can be requested from one connection in an hour.
  • When you asked. We keep the times of your recent requests, so that one email address can request no more than three brand personality profiles a day.

If you ask for a brand personality profile more than once with the same email address, the new answers and result replace the old ones. We keep one record per email address.

Your profile link and share link

Your brand personality profile has a private link, which we email to you. Anyone who has that link can see your brand personality profile, including your first name, role and industry, so treat it like a private document. Your brand personality profile is not listed in search engines.

If you choose to share your result, the share link shows only your personality blend. It never shows your name, email, role, industry, answers or the content we wrote for you.

If you go on to sign up from your brand personality profile

If you sign up from your brand personality profile, we prefill your name and email from it and link the brand personality profile to your new account. We then use your personality result and industry to start your first brand profile. To make this work across pages, we set a small cookie holding your profile link for up to seven days, or until you sign up. See our Cookie Policy.

Information you give us when you sign up

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your password, which is stored only as a cryptographic hash and is never visible to us

Information about your subscription

  • Which plan you are on, its status, and when the current period ends
  • A record of any credit top-ups you buy: the pack, the amount and the date
  • References that identify you to our payment processor

We do not see or store your card details. Payment is taken on Stripe's own secure pages and card management happens in Stripe's own customer portal. Card numbers never reach BraVo.

Guided Setup

If you buy a Guided Setup session, we record your purchase, which batch of places it belongs to, and who from our team will host it. You then book a time on a separate booking page that we link to; anything you enter there is handled under that page's own terms. If no place is free and you join the waiting list, we record your email address, your first name and when you joined, so we can tell you when places open.

Information you create in BraVo

You build profiles describing a business, its brand and its audiences, and you generate content from them. That includes:

  • Business information: what the business does, what it sells, its market and website
  • Brand information: mission, vision, values, personality and voice
  • Audience information: who they are, what they need and how they prefer to be communicated with
  • Images and files you upload
  • Prompts and instructions you write
  • Content BraVo generates for you

This is your material. Most of it is business information rather than personal information, but it may contain personal information if you choose to include it.

Please do not enter special category information into BraVo. That means information about health, race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, political opinions, trade union membership, genetics, biometrics, sex life or sexual orientation, or information about criminal offences. BraVo is not designed to hold it.

Information collected automatically on our sites

On the public marketing pages at brandedvoice.co.uk, including the brand personality test pages, we use Vercel Web Analytics and Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. Vercel Web Analytics is cookieless: it counts page views, stores nothing on your device, and does not count your visit if you choose Decline on the cookie notice. Google Analytics receives your IP address, your device and browser, and the pages you view; it sets cookies only if you choose Accept, and otherwise runs without them. On the test pages Google Analytics also records when you start, finish and submit the questions, when you share your result or click through to a trial, and the role you chose. Neither receives your name, email or answers.

Google Analytics never receives your private profile link. Pages whose address carries it are reported only by their general address, every address is stripped of everything except campaign tags and the plan you were looking at, and when you arrive from another website, Google receives only that site's name, not the page you came from. See our Cookie Policy.

Inside BraVo itself, once you are signed in, we run no analytics. We do not track what you do with your profiles or your content, and nothing observes your work in the product.

Our hosting and database providers keep standard technical logs, which include IP addresses and browser information, for security and to keep the service running.

We also keep a record of payment events received from Stripe, so that payments and credits can be reconciled. These hold no personal information beyond a reference.

The profile email itself is not a marketing email. It is the brand personality profile you asked for.

Emails after your brand personality profile, and during your trial

If you said yes to further emails when you requested your brand personality profile, we send you up to five follow-up emails over the ten days after it, about putting your personality to work. We send them because you agreed to them. Every one has an Unsubscribe link, and they stop as soon as you unsubscribe or start a BraVo trial.

If you start a trial, we send you emails to help you set up your brand profile and get the most from it, a reminder three days before your trial ends, and, near the end of the trial, an offer to switch to an annual plan. If you cancel your trial, we send one email asking what didn't work for you, and one later note to say your brand profile is still saved, which goes only if you created one. The setup emails and the reminder are service emails about the trial you started. The annual-plan offer is marketing, and the two emails after a cancellation ask for your feedback and remind you what is saved; we send those three under our legitimate interests. Every one of these emails has a link to manage your email preferences, where you can stop the annual offer on its own or stop them all.

Apart from these, we do not send marketing emails. If that changes, we will ask for your consent first and you will be able to withdraw it at any time.


Unsubscribing

You can unsubscribe from emails about your brand personality profile, including the follow-up emails, at any time:

  • Use your email app's own Unsubscribe button on the profile email or any follow-up email. Every one supports it.
  • If you said yes to further emails, use the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of the profile email or any follow-up email. It opens a page that asks you to confirm with an Unsubscribe button. Opening the page on its own changes nothing.
  • Or email hello@brandedvoice.co.uk with "Unsubscribe" as the subject.

Once you unsubscribe, we send you nothing more about your brand personality profile, including the profile email for any new brand personality profile you request with the same address. You can still see a new brand personality profile on screen.

Unsubscribing does not delete your brand personality profile. To have it deleted, see "Your rights" below.

To stop trial emails, use the Manage your email preferences link at the bottom of any of them. It opens a page with three buttons: Stop trial emails, Stop marketing emails and Stop both. Opening the page on its own changes nothing; only pressing a button does. Stopping trial emails also stops the emails after a cancellation. Your email app's own Unsubscribe button on these emails stops both at once. Neither affects the emails we must send to run your account, such as sign-up confirmations and password resets.


Who we share it with

We use the following services to run BraVo. Each is bound to protect your information and to use it only for the purpose described.

ServiceWhat it doesWhat it receives
SupabaseDatabase, login and file storageYour account details and everything you create in BraVo; your brand personality profile record (name, email, role, industry, answers, result, campaign tags, hashed IP, consent and unsubscribe record); Guided Setup purchases and the waiting list; the record of which follow-up and trial emails we have sent you and which is next, and your email preferences
Vercel Inc.Hosting, and marketing site analyticsRequests to the site and app; standard technical logs. Everything BraVo processes passes through Vercel's servers, whose functions run in London. Cookieless page-view counts from the marketing pages, unless you choose Decline
AnthropicGenerates written contentThe profile information used as the brief for a piece. For the brand personality profile: your role, your industry and your personality result only, never your name or email
OpenAIGenerates images and checks uploadsThe image description, and any image you choose as a reference. Every image you upload is also checked by OpenAI's moderation service before it is accepted
StripePayments and subscriptionsYour name, email, billing address, card details and VAT number if you give one
ResendSends our emailsYour email address and the content of each email we send you. For the profile email, that includes your first name, your personality result and the profile PDF, which shows your name, role, industry and the content we wrote for you. It also carries the internal notices described below
GoogleOur business email, and marketing site analyticsAnything you email us; site analytics
LinkedInOnly if you choose to share your result thereThe share link, which shows your personality blend only

Internal notices

When you sign up, we email your name, your email address and the plan you chose to the people who run BraVo, at their own business email addresses, and to our hello@ inbox. We do the same with your email address when you buy Guided Setup, and with your email address and first name when you join its waiting list.

What is sent to the AI providers

When you generate content, we send the relevant profile information as the brief: what the business does, how the brand speaks, and the audience you have chosen. When you generate an image, we send the image description, plus any brand asset you have explicitly selected as a reference.

When you upload an image, it is sent to OpenAI's moderation service once, to check it is acceptable, before it is stored. It is otherwise sent to OpenAI only when you select it as a reference for a specific generation.

When we write the example content in your brand personality profile, we send Anthropic your role, your industry and your personality result. We do not send your name, your email or your answers.

Both providers are used through their business APIs. Under their business terms, information sent through the API is not used to train their models, and is retained only briefly for security and abuse monitoring.

We do not sell your information

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to establish or defend a legal claim.


Where your information goes

Our database and file storage are provided by Supabase and held in London, United Kingdom.

BraVo's server functions run on Vercel in London, United Kingdom.

Some of your information is processed outside the United Kingdom, mainly in the United States:

  • Vercel Inc. is a US company. Its staff and its network, which serves the site to you from the location nearest you, may process your information outside the UK. It also receives cookieless page-view counts from the marketing pages, unless you choose Decline.
  • Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe and Resend receive what is described in the table above.
  • Google receives aggregate site analytics for the marketing pages. Cookies that recognise return visits are set only if you accept them on the cookie notice.
  • LinkedIn receives your share link, only if you choose to share your result there.

Where information leaves the UK, it is protected by appropriate safeguards provided for in each supplier's terms: the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, or the UK Addendum to the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.


How long we keep it

Brand personality profile records are deleted automatically 24 months after your last activity: requesting a brand personality profile, being sent it, saying yes to further emails, unsubscribing, or signing up from it. If you ask us to delete yours sooner, we will.

Profile PDFs are not stored. We create the PDF when we email it to you, and again each time you download it from your profile link.

While your account is open, we keep your account details and everything you create in BraVo, so that the service works.

If you cancel, your subscription ends at the end of the period you have paid for and your account becomes read only. Your information stays until you ask us to delete it.

If you ask us to delete your account, we remove your account, your profiles, your content, your uploaded and generated images, your login, your Guided Setup records, including any waiting list entry, and any brand personality profile you signed up from. This is permanent and cannot be undone.

Records of our follow-up and trial emails, meaning which we have sent you and which is next, and your email preferences, are deleted with the brand personality profile record or the account they belong to.

The Guided Setup waiting list entry is kept until your account is deleted, or until you ask us to remove it.

Some things necessarily survive deletion:

  • Stripe keeps its own record of you as a customer and of the payments you made. We are required to keep financial records for six years for tax purposes.
  • Backups held by our hosting and database providers persist for their own retention periods, after which they are overwritten.
  • Payment event records are kept for reconciliation. They contain no personal information beyond a reference.
  • Emails we have already sent you, and the internal notices we received, stay in the inboxes they were delivered to.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct it if it is wrong
  • Delete it, in the circumstances the law provides for
  • Restrict or object to how we use it
  • Portability: receive it in a usable format, or have it sent elsewhere
  • Withdraw consent at any time where we relied on consent

To exercise any of these, email hello@brandedvoice.co.uk. We will respond within one month. This includes your brand personality profile: tell us the email address you used and we will send you what we hold, correct it, or delete it.

Much of this you can also do yourself: your profiles and content are editable and deletable from inside BraVo at any time, and you can unsubscribe from emails about your brand personality profile, or stop trial emails, as described above.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or by calling 0303 123 1113. We would rather you came to us first so we can put it right.


Security

We take the following measures:

  • All connections use HTTPS
  • Passwords are hashed and never stored in a readable form
  • Two-factor authentication is available on your account and we recommend it
  • Your data is separated from other customers' at the database level, enforced by the database itself rather than by application code
  • Brand personality profile records cannot be read by any visitor or signed-in user directly. Only our server can read them, and only for the brand personality profile the link belongs to
  • We never store your IP address, only a salted one-way hash of it
  • Uploaded and generated images are held in private storage and served through time-limited links, never public URLs
  • Card details never reach our systems

No system is perfectly secure, but we take these obligations seriously and will tell you without undue delay if a breach affects your information.


Content generated by AI

BraVo uses AI to help produce content, including the example content in your brand personality profile. Two things follow that you should know.

Generated content can be wrong. You are responsible for checking anything you publish. We cover this in our Terms of Service.

Similar content may be produced for other users. AI systems can generate comparable output from comparable input, and we cannot guarantee that anything generated is unique.


Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If a change materially affects you, we will tell you by email or in the app.
