Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your session, remember your preferences, and understand how you use QueueAway.

Essential cookies are required for the Service to function (e.g., authentication). Analytics cookies help us understand feature usage — these can be declined without impacting core functionality. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

We also use functional and security cookies set by Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile to detect and prevent automated abuse of our sign-up forms. These are not advertising cookies and cannot be declined without affecting your ability to submit forms on the Service.

You can manage or clear cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect your ability to log in or use certain features.

06

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account at any time.

After account deletion, we may retain certain data for up to 90 days in encrypted backups, and certain financial records for up to 7 years as required by law. Anonymised, aggregated data (which cannot identify you) may be retained indefinitely for product analytics.

07

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers (including AWS, Stripe, Twilio, Postmark, Google, and Cloudflare) may process or store data outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or the provider's certification under an approved adequacy framework.

09

Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational safeguards to protect your information, including TLS encryption in transit, AES-256 encryption at rest, access controls, and regular security audits.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us at hello@queueaway.co.uk.
