Trust
Your personal data stays for the product, not for sale
Pocketa is independently run. It is not owned by a major kitchen industry player or a large corporation, and it is not in the business of selling people's personal data. What we collect supports the service you use, our own improvements and the analytics needed to understand the site.
This is a plain-language trust page. For legal detail on categories, processors and retention, see the Privacy policy.
Independence matters for trust
When a planning tool sits inside a much larger industry or corporate group, people reasonably wonder whose interests the data serves. Pocketa's stance is simpler: help you organise a kitchen renovation, keep commercial supplier routes honest, and leave personal data out of any sell-off story.
Independently run
Pocketa is not owned by a major kitchen retailer, wholesaler or large corporate group. It is an independently run UK product built around homeowner planning and organisation.
Your record is for your project
Account details, checklists, notes and product saves exist so you can stay smart and organised. They are not treated as a side resource for someone else's marketing machine.
Commercial honesty stays separate
Where Pocketa may earn modest partner commissions or fees, that is about supplier routes you choose to follow. It is not a model of selling or trading your personal data for gain.
What we use information for
Collection stays close to running Pocketa well: the project record you asked for, replies you expect, product improvements, and proportionate analytics.
- Operate and secure the public site and signed-in workspace
- Save the project, checklist and sourcing records you create
- Respond to contact, feedback, early access and supplier forms
- Improve how the product works through our own processes
- Understand site use at an aggregate level with analytics where appropriate
What this stance is not
Trust language should stay precise. Independence and "not for sale" do not mean we never use processors. They mean we do not treat personal data as a product to monetise.
- We do not sell personal information as a business model
- We do not put your project notebook up for sale to third-party buyers
- We do not treat homeowner accounts as inventory for corporate data deals
- Independence does not remove normal hosting, email, security or analytics processors needed to run the service
How this sits beside free access and suppliers
Homeowner workspace access is free. Pocketa may earn on some partner or supplier routes when you choose to follow them. That commercial model is explained on Why Pocketa is free. It is not the same as selling or trading personal datasets.
Staying smart and organised should feel calm. You should not need to wonder whether your notes or account details are secretly the product.
Quick answers
Common questions, answered plainly
Does Pocketa sell personal data?
No. Pocketa does not sell personal information as a business model. Data is used to run and improve the service, keep your project records available, respond to forms and support analytics where appropriate. Partner commissions on some buying or enquiry routes are separate from selling your personal data.
Is Pocketa owned by a major kitchen company?
No. Pocketa is independently run and is not owned by a major kitchen retailer or large corporate group. That independence is part of why we can keep a clear line: your personal and project data support your renovation record and our product, not someone else's wholesale or advertising agenda.
