Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 April 2026 · Version 1.0

This Privacy Policy explains how Codex ("we", "us") collects, uses, stores and shares personal data of visitors and registered users. We act as a data controller under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR.

1. Who we are

Codex operates a wellness marketplace connecting clients with coaches, studios, and wellness products. Contact: privacy@thecodex.world.

Because we are established outside the EU but offer services to EU/UK data subjects, we have appointed an EU representative under Article 27 GDPR. Contact details for the representative are available on request via the email above.

2. What we collect

  • Account data: name, email, password hash, role.
  • Profile data: bio, photo, location, social handles.
  • Booking & payment data: bookings, orders, invoices. Card data is held by Stripe — we never see full card numbers.
  • Content you submit: messages, reviews, intake answers.
  • Technical data: IP-derived country, browser, device, pages viewed.
  • Consent records: your cookie and marketing choices, with timestamps.

3. Why we use it (lawful bases)

  • Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): creating your account, processing bookings and payments.
  • Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): securing the service, preventing fraud, contacting wellness professionals about joining the platform via publicly available business contact details.
  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): marketing emails, analytics cookies, marketing cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): tax, accounting, anti-money-laundering.

4. Who we share with (sub-processors)

We share data only with vetted sub-processors under data processing agreements:

  • Supabase (hosting, database, authentication) — EU region
  • Stripe (payment processing) — global
  • Lovable Cloud / Cloudflare (hosting, edge runtime) — global
  • Resend / Lovable Email (transactional email) — global
  • Google Workspace (operations email) — global
  • OpenAI, Google AI, Anthropic (AI matching & enrichment) — global, no training on your data

5. International transfers

Some sub-processors are located outside the EU/UK. Where required, transfers are protected by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

6. Retention

  • Account data: until you delete your account.
  • Booking and payment records: 7 years (tax law).
  • Marketing data: until you unsubscribe + 30 days.
  • Consent records: 3 years.
  • Audit logs: 12 months.
  • Outreach prospect data: deleted after 90 days of no engagement, or 7 days after opt-out.

7. Your rights

Under GDPR you have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate data
  • Erase your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority

Most rights can be exercised directly at /account/privacy. For anything else, email privacy@thecodex.world — we respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

9. Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access is row-level restricted and admin actions on user data are logged. We notify the relevant authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach where required.

10. Children

Codex is not intended for users under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
