Privacy Notice

MBT, trading as MBT, is the data controller for the personal data described below.

Version 1.1 · Effective 30 August 2026 · Pending legal review

This document has been drafted for accuracy against how the platform actually works and has not yet been reviewed by external legal counsel.

1. Data we collect and why

  • Identity and contact data (name, business email address): to create your account, verify that you are using a business mailbox, and communicate with you. Legal basis: performance of a contract.
  • Authentication data (one-time codes, session records, login timestamps): to sign you in securely and detect abuse. Legal basis: contract and legitimate interests in security.
  • Research inputs and saved sessions (company scope, geographies, problem descriptions, validation choices): to provide the Service and store your work. Legal basis: performance of a contract.
  • Support messages: to answer your enquiries. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
  • Usage and technical data (pages viewed, feature events, device identifiers, IP address, error logs): to keep the Service secure, diagnose faults and improve the product. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
  • Usage level and access state: to grant the features an administrator has approved for your account. Legal basis: contract and legitimate interests.

We do not ask for special category data. Please do not enter employee-identifying HR data into research fields.

2. Who we share data with

  • Service providers and subprocessors: hosting, database and authentication infrastructure, AI model and research providers, email delivery, error monitoring — all bound by contract to process data only on our instructions.
  • Professional advisers (legal, accounting) where necessary.
  • Authorities where required by law or to protect our rights.

We do not sell personal data and do not use it to train third-party models.

2a. Payment information

This website does not currently process payments. There is no checkout, no payment gateway, no card, UPI or bank credential collection, no recurring mandate and no automatic renewal. Access is granted by an administrator, so we do not collect billing or payment data through the Service today.

If payment functionality is activated in future, this notice will be updated before or at the point that functionality goes live to name the payment processor and describe exactly what payment data is collected and why.

2b. Information we do not collect

We do not collect special category data, payment credentials, employee-level HR records you have not chosen to enter, or advertising identifiers. Uploaded documents are processed only to produce the analysis you requested.

3. International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country, including outside the UK and EEA. Where that happens we rely on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses together with appropriate technical safeguards.

4. Retention

Account and access records are kept while your account is active and for up to 24 months afterwards to handle disputes and meet legal obligations. Saved research sessions are kept until you delete them or your account closes, plus a 30-day export window. Documents you upload to your secure workspace, and the passages indexed from them, are kept so you can reuse them across research runs, and remain until you delete the file or purge the workspace. Billing records are kept as long as tax law requires. Logs are kept for up to 12 months. Data is deleted or anonymised once no longer needed.

5. Your rights

Subject to applicable law you may request access to your data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing, portability, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Where we rely on consent you may withdraw it at any time. Contact privacy@hrmbt.com and we will respond within one month. If you are in the UK or EEA you may also complain to your supervisory authority.

6. Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit and at rest, row-level access controls, least-privilege service credentials, business-email verification and audit logging of access changes.

7. Cookies and local storage

We use strictly necessary cookies and browser storage to keep you signed in, remember your language preference and preserve in-progress research. We do not use advertising cookies. Any analytics we introduce will be limited to aggregate product usage, and you can clear or block storage in your browser settings — doing so will sign you out.

Coverage

Built for how HR actually breaks down.

However you scope it — by focus area, by problem, by scenario, or by geography — MBT's research starts where you already are.

Problems we surfaceHR problems we're built to catch

Structural bottlenecks the research is tuned to isolate across your operating model, core systems and workforce data — each validated against your evidence before any transformation is recommended.

When this gets usedBusiness scenarios

The business moments that usually open a transformation conversation — each researched as a possibility to confirm or reject, never assumed to apply to you.

MarketsGeographies

Research adapts to your exact operating footprint — from a single site to a multi-country enterprise. MBT examines why the same programme behaves differently across jurisdictions: statutory variation, works councils, payroll rules and local talent conditions. 19 market guides are published today, and further guides are being released on a rolling basis. Any other country, region or city can still be entered in Scope, with public-source depth validated per run rather than assumed.
