Our approach to your Data

We're proud to be the only GDPR-compliant relationship mapping service.

Our tools were first developed for the social sector, volunteers and activists, so from the first months of building this technology we were scanning for unintended consequences and possible risks to vulnerable groups. At every stage we have prioritised non-extractive data methods, with users having visibility and control over their own data.

Our work continues to make that control as granular as possible.

Our key data notices are below- these are sent to every mapper before they participate in our system. We also sign a Joint Controllers agreement with all our clients because they have access to mapping data in our dashboard. This document sets out their responsibilities in how they make use of that access.
