Data Processing Addendum

Forms part of the User Terms. Governs LOAM's processing of personal data on behalf of merchants — end-customer data, browsing data, Kiln conversations.

Last updated: 2026-05-12

Draft notice. This document is an interim version while LOAM's legal counsel finalises the platform's policy stack. It is offered in good faith; for the avoidance of doubt, the binding version will be re-published with a clear effective date once review is complete.

1. Roles

The merchant is the controller of end-customer personal data processed via their LOAM store. LOAM (Fernway Group Ltd.) acts as processor for that data.

2. Subject matter and duration

LOAM processes personal data to provide commerce functionality (cart, checkout, fulfilment, customer accounts, customer agent) for the duration of the User Terms.

3. Instructions

LOAM processes personal data only on documented instructions from the merchant — including for transfers outside the EEA — unless required to do otherwise by applicable law.

4. Confidentiality

Personnel authorised to process personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations.

5. Security

Per-tenant database isolation, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access control, audit logging, regular access reviews, and other measures appropriate to the risk.

6. Sub-processors

The merchant authorises LOAM to engage sub-processors. LOAM maintains a list of current sub-processors and will notify the merchant of intended changes with reasonable lead time, allowing objection.

7. Data subject rights & breach notification

LOAM will assist the merchant in responding to data subject requests and will notify the merchant without undue delay of any personal data breach affecting their data.

8. Deletion / return

On termination, LOAM will delete or return personal data at the merchant's choice, save where retention is required by law.

9. International transfers

Where personal data is transferred outside the UK / EEA, LOAM relies on the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary measures as appropriate.
