Last updated: 12 June 2024

TL;DR Summary: We temporarily access only the data required to perform your cloud migration, with enterprise-grade security. Your credentials are deleted post-migration, and we never analyze file contents. This policy complies with UK/EU GDPR, CCPA, and other major privacy frameworks.

1. Introduction

Clover 44 Ltd, trading as B-Legal ("we", "us", or "our"), operates secure cloud migration services for businesses worldwide. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services to migrate data from platforms like Google Drive or OneDrive to AWS S3.

  • Data Protection Act 2018
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • EU GDPR (via Article 27 representation)

2. Data Collection

We minimize data collection to only what's necessary for your migration:

Essential Information

  • Contact Details: Your name, business email address, and phone number for service communications
  • Account Credentials: Temporary read-only access to your source storage (Google Drive, OneDrive etc.) - automatically revoked after migration
  • File Metadata: Directory structures, file sizes, and types (we never access or analyze file contents)

Financial Information

  • Bank Details: For UK clients paying via Tide Business Banking (processed directly through your banking portal)
  • Transaction Records: Payment amounts and dates for accounting purposes

3. How We Use Your Data

All data processing serves specific, limited purposes:

5. Data Security

We implement enterprise-grade protections:

Technical Measures

  • AES-256 Encryption: All data at rest in AWS S3 buckets
  • TLS 1.3: Encrypted transfers during migration
  • Zero Trust Architecture: Strict access controls with multi-factor authentication

Operational Protocols

  • Automatic credential revocation within 1 hour post-migration
  • Annual penetration testing by CREST-certified auditors

6. International Data Transfers

For cross-border data flows, we use:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses: For other jurisdictions, as approved by the ICO

7. Third-Party Processors

We only engage vetted partners under strict contracts:

  • AWS: For secure cloud storage infrastructure
  • Tide Platform: For UK invoice processing (we never see your full banking details)
