Privacy Policy
Last updated: 25 May 2026 · Effective immediately for new users, 30 days notice for existing users of material changes.
Plain English summary: TimmyHR is a B2B HR platform. We process employee data on behalf of organisations (our customers) and collect limited data about customer administrators. We don't sell data. We don't use HR data for advertising. We comply with GDPR and UK data protection law. If you have questions, email privacy@intelura.com.
1. Who We Are
TimmyHR is a product of Intelura Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”). When we provide TimmyHR to organisations (our “Customers”), we act as a data processor with respect to the personal data of their employees (“End Users”). For data collected directly from Customers (admins, billing contacts), we act as a data controller.

2. Data We Collect

- Billing information (processed via our payment provider — we do not store card details)
- Usage data: pages visited, features used, login timestamps

2.2 Employee data processed on behalf of Customers (processor)
When Customers use TimmyHR, they upload and manage employee data including:

4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For EU/UK users, our legal bases for processing personal data are:
- Contract performance: Processing necessary to provide TimmyHR services under our Terms of Service
- Legitimate interests: Security monitoring, fraud prevention, product improvement using anonymised data
- Legal obligation: Compliance with tax, accounting, and employment law requirements
- Consent: Marketing communications (you can withdraw consent at any time)
For employee data processed as a data processor on behalf of Customers, the Customer is responsible for establishing and documenting their own legal basis under applicable employment and data protection law.
5. Data Sharing and Sub-Processors
We share data with carefully selected sub-processors to operate TimmyHR. All sub-processors are contractually bound to the same data protection standards we apply. Our key sub-processors include:
- Neon (database hosting) — Employee and account data storage
- Vercel (hosting) — Application hosting and CDN
- Resend / email providers — Transactional email delivery
- Payment processors — Billing and subscription management (card data never reaches our servers)
- Google (OAuth) — Optional single sign-on authentication
We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing platforms.
We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Intelura, our customers, or the public. We will notify affected parties where legally permitted to do so.
6. Data Retention
- Active accounts: Data is retained for the duration of the subscription
- After cancellation: Customer data is retained for 30 days, then permanently deleted unless you request earlier deletion or extended retention for legal compliance purposes
- Payroll records: We recommend Customers retain payroll records for at least 6 years per UK HMRC requirements. Upon cancellation, we provide a full data export before deletion
- Backups: Backup systems retain data for up to 90 days after deletion from live systems
- Anonymised analytics: Aggregated, anonymised usage data may be retained indefinitely
7. Your Rights (GDPR & UK GDPR)
If you are in the EU or UK, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

TimmyHR may process data using infrastructure and sub-processors in countries outside the EEA or UK. Where such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission and UK International Data Transfer Agreements (IDTAs) where required.
