Privacy notice
How Fios processes personal data under the GDPR and Irish Data Protection Act 2018. Last updated: August 2026.
Who we are
Fios (“we”) provides company intelligence tools for Ireland-first credit and compliance teams. Privacy requests: privacy@fios.ie.
What we process
- Account data — email, name, hashed password, organisation membership, and plan.
- Billing — wallet top-ups and subscriptions via Stripe. Card details are handled by Stripe; we store Stripe customer IDs and ledger entries, not full card numbers.
- Usage — search events, document purchases, watchlist items, API keys, and webhook delivery metadata needed to operate the product.
- Registry content — company information from the Companies Registration Office (CRO) and (where enabled) Companies House. That content is public registry data, not private consumer credit files.
- Emails — transactional messages (welcome, watchlist alerts) via Resend when configured.
Lawful bases
- Contract — creating and operating your account and fulfilling document purchases.
- Legitimate interests — product security, abuse prevention, and service improvement.
- Legal obligation — where we must retain records for tax or regulatory reasons.
Retention
- Account and membership records while your workspace is active, then deleted or anonymised on request where feasible.
- Wallet ledger and purchase records retained for accounting (typically up to 7 years).
- Document binaries stored in object storage for re-download; you may request deletion of purchase artefacts.
- Watchlist alerts and search logs retained for operational history unless you ask us to purge them.
Processors & transfers
We use infrastructure providers such as Vercel (hosting), Neon (database), Vercel Blob (document storage), Stripe (payments), and Resend (email). Processing may occur in the EU/EEA or other regions under appropriate transfer safeguards used by those providers.
Your rights
You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, or portability of personal data where applicable, and lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie). Use the account page to update your profile password; contact us for other requests.
