Our role and your business data
Meakes Ltd t/a Linxis is controller for account administration, billing, security and direct support. When we handle order records, customer details, chatbot conversations or knowledge on a business customer’s instructions, that customer determines the purpose and Linxis acts as processor. See our DPA information. Website visitors should also read the notice of the business operating the chatbot.
Connected accounting and marketplace data
Authorised integrations may process customer names and contact details, order lines, amounts, tax information, product identifiers, listing and fulfilment data, and external record references. We use these to provide the configured connection, matching, export and recovery functions. Data comes from you and the systems you authorise. Disconnecting an integration does not delete records already created in QuickBooks, eBay or Magento, or automatically erase Linxis job history. Contact support to request deletion or discuss retained records.
Authentication and abuse prevention
Account security uses password hashes and session information. If you enable MFA, we store an encrypted authenticator secret, recovery-code hashes and verification state to protect sign-in. Where Cloudflare Turnstile is enabled on signup or login, Cloudflare processes browser, network and challenge information to detect automated abuse. These controls support our legitimate interests in protecting accounts and preventing misuse.
Chatbot information
Questions, replies and published knowledge are processed by the configured assistant and model service to generate answers and support conversation review. Avoid including passwords, payment-card details or unnecessary sensitive personal data. Workspace staff can review conversations and use available deletion and history-cleanup controls. An assistant response is not a decision about your legal rights or eligibility for a service.
Support and diagnostic records
Support tickets and any attachments contain the information you choose to submit. QuickBooks diagnostic records are limited to operational metadata such as timestamps, status, error codes, trace references and workspace or job identifiers; they are designed to exclude raw accounting payloads and credentials. The standard diagnostic logger retains up to 14 daily log files. This limit does not apply to separate job records, support tickets or backups, whose retention depends on ongoing service, investigation, recovery and legal needs. Authorised workspace users can download their QuickBooks health report and choose to share it with support.
Purposes, retention and your choices
We use account and billing data to fulfil our contract with you, business contact and support information to administer the service and respond to enquiries, and security records for our legitimate interests in preventing abuse and investigating faults. Where you act for a business, our legitimate interest is administering that business relationship. Legal obligations may require retention of billing or dispute records after closure. Optional processing requiring consent uses that consent, which you may withdraw. Required account and connection information is needed to supply the relevant service. Contact us about account closure, export or deletion; any retained information is limited by its purpose and applicable obligations.
Privacy complaints
You can contact support@linxis.uk about your information or to exercise your rights. If we process information for another business, we will help direct your request to that business. You may also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
How we approach privacy

We use administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect personal data
against unauthorised access, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No online service can
guarantee absolute security, but protecting customer data is a core operational priority for Linxis.

Where personal data is processed outside your country or region, Linxis will take steps intended
to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, where required by applicable law.
