Privacy Notice

Pre-launch draft: This is a pre-launch draft for testing. Complete the business identity and contact details before accepting live orders.

Worth Spending (“we”, “us”) is a home-improvement guidance service currently being prepared for launch. Contact email: worthspending@outlook.com. Full business identity and required contact details will be added before live orders are accepted.

Please note: your photos and property details are used to create your assessment and are sent to our assessment service and AI provider. We do not use photos for advertising or sell them. We do not promise that external service providers never retain data; they may process content under their own terms and retention policies.

1. Information we process

Home photos you upload for the free assessment or paid report.
Property information you enter, such as property type, approximate value, town/postcode area, sale timeline and improvement budget.
Assessment outputs and recommendations generated from your inputs.
Checkout and payment-status references needed to verify the £9.99 purchase. Stripe handles card/payment details through its hosted checkout; we do not ask you to enter card details directly into our website.
Basic technical/security information that may be processed by our website hosting, Cloudflare, Supabase, Stripe and other service providers.

2. Why we use it and our legal bases

To provide the free assessment and paid report: steps requested by you before a contract and performance of the contract.
To verify payments, prevent fraud, troubleshoot failures and protect the service: legitimate interests and, where applicable, legal obligations.
To handle enquiries, complaints and legal claims: legitimate interests and legal obligations.

3. How photos and AI processing work

Your browser resizes photos before upload. The free photo and relevant property details are sent to the assessment gateway. For the paid report, the additional photos are sent to the checkout Worker only after Stripe payment is verified, then forwarded individually to the assessment gateway/AI service to generate recommendations. We do not use photos to advertise to you, sell them, or intentionally build a marketing photo library.

Additional photos are processed by the checkout Worker only after Stripe confirms payment. If you upgrade after a free assessment, the original free-assessment photo is temporarily held in private session storage so it can be assessed with the paid photos. Pending unpaid sessions expire after 24 hours and a cancellation return triggers deletion of the pending report record. After a paid session is opened, temporary session data may remain for up to seven days to let you complete or retry the report; the original photo is removed from the session record when the report completes. Additional photos are sent to the assessment gateway in the request and are not written to the report cache. The stored report contains recommendation text and limited property details, not the uploaded image files. In live mode, an order-confirmation email is sent before the paid report unlocks; the email service processes the customer email address and order/consent confirmation details, and a send-status reference is retained privately for up to seven days to prevent repeat sends. This does not mean that every provider involved is incapable of temporary processing or retention. Hosting, AI and network providers may process technical logs or content under their own terms. Please do not upload photographs containing people, faces, identity documents, mail, security systems, exact addresses or other sensitive/private details.

4. Service providers and sharing

We use third-party infrastructure to run the service, including Cloudflare for hosting/Worker/KV functions, Supabase for the assessment gateway, an AI model provider to analyse submitted content, Stripe for hosted checkout and payment confirmation, and Resend for live-mode order-confirmation emails. Your inputs are shared with the providers needed to perform the assessment and payment. Their processing is subject to their own privacy notices and contractual terms. Google Fonts may also receive standard connection information when your browser loads the site font files. The illustrative kitchen and wardrobe photographs embedded on the home page are served from wrapsbyaj.com, so that image host may receive ordinary connection data (such as your IP address and browser request) when those images load. This does not mean that the image host operates the Worth Spending service.

We do not sell personal data or uploaded photos. We do not knowingly disclose them to advertisers. We may disclose information where required by law, to protect rights or security, or to handle a payment dispute.

5. Retention

Uploaded photos: additional photos are processed after payment and are not stored in the report cache. If you upgraded after a free assessment, the original free photo is temporarily held in private session storage until completion or expiry; on a paid session it may remain for up to seven days if needed for a retry, and is removed when the report completes. External providers may have separate operational/abuse-monitoring logs and retention periods; we cannot promise zero retention by those providers.
Paid report and limited property details: the current checkout system may retain the generated report and limited property details in private temporary storage for up to seven days to let you retrieve a completed report or recover from an error. Checkout/session references may be retained for up to 24 hours in the initial session records and longer for a completed report reference.
Browser session: the first free assessment and form details may be held in your browser’s session storage to preserve them during the Stripe checkout round-trip. This is normally cleared when the tab/session ends, but browser behaviour can vary. You can close the tab and clear site data in your browser.
Payment records: Stripe and we may retain transaction and accounting records for periods required to manage purchases, disputes, fraud prevention and legal obligations.
Enquiries: emails and support correspondence are kept as long as reasonably needed to resolve the enquiry and meet legal obligations.

Retention periods can change if needed for a legal claim, fraud prevention or a legal obligation. We will update this notice if actual practices change materially.

6. Security

We use HTTPS for website/API connections and Stripe-hosted checkout. Access to private report records is restricted by the checkout flow and payment verification. No internet service can be guaranteed perfectly secure, so do not upload unnecessary personal or confidential information.

7. International processing

Some service providers may process information outside the UK. Where UK data protection law requires it, the relevant provider must rely on an appropriate transfer mechanism or safeguard. Refer to the relevant provider’s privacy documentation for details.

8. Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask to access, correct, delete or restrict use of personal information, object to certain processing, or receive information in a portable format. You may withdraw consent where processing relies on consent; this does not affect processing already carried out lawfully. To make a request, email worthspending@outlook.com. We may need to verify your identity and may retain limited records where lawfully required.

You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.

9. Children

The service is intended for adults selling or preparing to sell a property, not children. Do not upload images of children.

10. Changes and contact

We may update this notice when the service or law changes. For privacy requests, questions or complaints, contact worthspending@outlook.com or write to To be added before live launch.

Last updated: 16 October 2026. These documents are written for the current planned service and should be reviewed if the technology, suppliers, business structure or data practices change.
