Data Processing Schedule

Effective 9 October 2026

This Data Processing Schedule is Schedule 1 to the Kiln Terms of Service. "You" is the account holder. "We" is JMWD Solutions Ltd. Words defined in the Terms of Service mean the same here. "UK GDPR" includes the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Who These Terms Apply To

These terms apply to every account holder whose site collects information from its visitors, through a form, customer accounts, bookings or payments. They apply whether you are a business, an organisation or an individual.

  • If you collect the data for a business or organisation, you are the controller and we are your processor under UK GDPR Article 28.
  • If you run a site purely for personal or household purposes, data protection law may not apply to you (the "household exemption"). We still process the data only for you, and we still keep every commitment in these terms. In that case, "controller" in these terms means you, and "processor" means us.

2. Scope of Processing

  • Subject matter: hosting Your Site and running the features you switch on, such as forms, customer accounts, bookings, payments and emails to your visitors.
  • Duration: while your Account is open, and until we have returned and deleted the data as section 11 says.
  • Nature: storing, organising, showing, sending, retrieving and deleting data, on our systems and our sub-processors' systems.
  • Purpose: only to provide the Service to you.
  • Data subjects: Your Visitors and Your Customers, and your team members.
  • Categories of data, depending on the features you use:

    • name, email address and phone number;
    • addresses, including map coordinates;
    • booking details: what was booked, times, prices, notes, cancellation reasons;
    • vehicle details, where vehicle features are enabled: registration, make, model, colour and photos;
    • customer account passwords (stored only as a one-way hash);
    • payment records: amounts, status, card brand, last four digits and expiry (full card details are handled by our payment processor, never by Kiln);
    • form submissions;
    • IP address and browser of requests, and security events.
  • Special category data: none expected. You must not collect it through Kiln.

3. Your Instructions

We process this data only on your documented instructions. These Terms, your settings in Kiln and the features you turn on are your instructions. We will tell you if we think an instruction breaks data protection law. If the law requires us to process the data in another way, we will tell you first unless the law forbids it.

Where data protection law applies to you, you are responsible for having a lawful basis for the processing, and for telling Your Visitors about it in your own privacy policy.

4. Confidentiality

Everyone we allow to process the data is bound by a duty of confidentiality. Only people who need access to provide or support the Service get it.

5. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the data (UK GDPR Art. 32). These include:

  • encryption in transit and at rest;
  • logical separation of each account's data, with access controls enforced in the database;
  • one-way hashing of passwords;
  • multi-factor sign-in for owners and platform staff;
  • an append-only audit log of security events and staff actions;
  • daily database backups, kept for 7 days;
  • bot checks on public booking, sign-up and form pages.

6. Sub-processors

You give us general authorisation to use sub-processors. A current list is available on request from hello@kiln.solutions. We'll tell you about changes (for example by email or a notice in your dashboard). If you object, you can close your account.

We put data protection terms in place with each sub-processor that give the protections required by UK GDPR Art. 28(3). We remain responsible to you for what they do.

Integrations you connect yourself, such as a calendar, are not our sub-processors. When you connect one, you tell us to send it the data the feature needs.

7. International Transfers

We will only transfer the data outside the UK with appropriate safeguards under UK GDPR Chapter V: UK adequacy regulations (including the UK–US data bridge), or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. Section 6 of our Privacy Policy has more detail.

8. Helping You With Your Visitors' Rights

If one of Your Visitors asks us directly to exercise their rights, we will pass the request to you and will not answer it ourselves. We will help you respond to requests to access, correct, export or erase their data. When you ask, we will produce a full export of one person's data, or erase or anonymise it, within 5 working days.

Some records survive an erasure request, because the law requires them or because they protect the Service:

  • booking financial details and payment records, kept for six years;
  • the security audit log, kept until its 400-day clock deletes it;
  • payment notification data, kept until its 90-day clock removes the personal details.

Our payment processor keeps its own copy of payment data in your payment account. You can delete customer records there yourself.

9. Helping You With Other Obligations

We will give you reasonable help with security, breach notification, data protection impact assessments and consultation with the ICO. That help takes into account the nature of our processing and the information we have.

10. Personal Data Breaches

If we become aware of a personal data breach affecting the data, we will tell you without undue delay, and in any case within 48 hours of becoming aware of it. We will give you the information we have about:

  • what happened;
  • the data and people affected;
  • the likely consequences;
  • what we are doing about it.

We will update you as we learn more.

11. Return and Deletion at the End

When your Account closes, we keep the data for 90 days. During that time you can ask us for a copy. We will send it within 30 days of your request, with booking and customer data as CSV files. After 90 days we delete the data, except financial records that the law requires us to keep for six years. Deleted data is overwritten in our backups within 7 days.

12. Information and Audits

We will give you the information you reasonably need to show that we meet these terms. That includes answering a reasonable security questionnaire once a year. If that is not enough, or if the ICO requires it, you or an auditor bound by confidentiality may audit our compliance. You must give us at least 30 days' notice. You pay the cost, unless the audit finds that we have materially broken these terms.

13. Liability and Precedence

The liability terms in the Terms of Service apply to this Data Processing Schedule, including the consumer terms in section 17 for consumer account holders. If these terms conflict with the Terms of Service about personal data you collect through Your Site, these terms win.
