PRIVACY POLICY
This privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) is made by Substantial Group Limited for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries namely:
Netomnia Limited
YouFibre Limited
Brsk Limited, and

The relevant company described above which provides services to you will act as the controller of your personal data. References to "Company", "we", "our" or "us" mean the relevant group company providing services to you.
1 About Us
We provide electronic communications services in the UK and are regulated by the Office of Communications (Ofcom).
We respect your privacy and we are committed to protecting your personal data by ensuring that our legal obligations are met. This Privacy Policy outlines our policies and procedures for the collection, use, and protection of your personal data, whether you are a customer, website visitor, or employee handling personal data. It also informs our staff of their obligations in processing your data.
When we refer to “personal data” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information which can identify you as an individual. It is important that you read this Privacy Policy so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your personal data.
2 Information we collect about you
We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:
- Identity Data includes first name, last name, username, account number or similar identifier, title, date of birth and gender.
- Contact Data includes billing address, delivery address, email address, social media username (if given) and telephone numbers.
- Financial Data includes bank account and payment card details.
- Transaction Data includes details of payments made by you, any equipment we have supplied, and services you have subscribed to.
- Usage Data includes information about how you use our services, our network and our Website.
- Technical Data includes certain traffic and communications data, your internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting, location data, weblogs, details of the websites and other products and services you access through it, browser plug-in types and versions, and the operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website and our network.
- Profile Data includes your username and password (if made available to us), orders made by you, your interests, preferences, feedback and survey responses.
- Marketing and Communications Data includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.
In addition to the personal data categories listed, we may also collect:
- Device Data: Including IP addresses, device manufacturer details, browser information, and other information required from your devices for communication with our network.
- Authentication Data: Where you choose to enable biometric login (for example, Face ID or fingerprint) or are asked to re-verify your identity during an in-app chat session, a cryptographic public key will be generated on your device and held against your account, together with any one-time passcodes we send to your mobile number or email address for re-verification.
- Household Data: Information related to members of your household in connection with the use of our services.
- Referral Data: Information received from third parties who have referred you for the use of our services.
- Data from Reporting Agencies: This includes data from credit agencies for assessing creditworthiness.
We also collect, use, and share “Aggregated Data” (this means statistical or demographic data derived from your personal data). Aggregated Data is not considered personal data in law as this data does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity and cannot be reconstructed to do so.
3 How is your personal data collected?
We use different methods to collect data from and about you, including through:
Your interactions with us. You may give us your personal data by filling in online forms or by corresponding with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes personal data you provide when you:
- register your interest in becoming our customer in the future
- post any material on our website

We collect this personal data by using cookies, server logs and other similar technologies. Please see the Cookie Policy section below for more information about how we use cookies and how to change your browser settings to refuse some or all cookies.
When using our services, we will automatically collect your Usage Data. When you (or someone using your broadband or telephone service) use our network to make a telephone call or connect to the internet, we keep a record of that call (including the number called) so we can charge for it. We also receive information from other operators about calls made over our network, where we need that information for connecting and billing purposes.
We will also collect information about your use of our services (such as the amount of time you spend online), which we will use to manage our network and for billing. We will collect information on which devices have accessed our network your broadband router (e.g. type of device, brand, model, operating system and browser) in order to monitor and better understand how our services are used.
Authentication Data. Where you choose to enable biometric login, your device generates Authentication Data. The private key never leaves your device and we cannot access it; only the corresponding public key is shared with us and stored against your account. When you log in or re-verify your identity, your device signs a one-time challenge using the private key, which we verify using the stored public key. No biometric data is transmitted to or stored by us.
Third parties or publicly available sources. We will also receive personal data about you from various third parties and public sources as set out below:

If you have given us your details to record your registered interest in becoming our customer in the future or for us to contact you in relation to our services or business development (including to receive our newsletter), we may use your Identity Data to keep you up to date about our services and coverage.
You will only receive marketing communications from us if you have registered an interest in receiving our services (whether current services or in the future when your building or location is connected to our network), requested information from us in relation to our services or purchased services from us and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing.

6 Disclosures of your personal data
We share your personal data with the types of third party listed below:
- Build and Installation Partners: For providing service installations and network maintenance.
- Credit Reference and Debt Recovery Agencies: For credit assessments and debt collection.
- Payment Processors: Handling billing and payment services.
- Customer Service Agencies: Conducting surveys to improve service quality.
- Third party suppliers including technology and other suppliers and service providers we engage to provide equipment and services to us.
- Affiliate companies within our corporate group, including our parent company, subsidiaries, and other companies that are under common ownership or control with us.
- Potential Business Partners: In the event of a sale, merger, or restructuring.
All third parties are contractually obligated to use your data in compliance with data protection laws.
We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
If, as our customer, you have requested and/or consented to a third party managing your billing arrangements for our services, you agree that this may involve that third party (i) having online access to your account details on our Company’s database insofar as they relate to your bills and/or (ii) being given details of your billing arrangements when calling Customer Support or writing to us in connection with managing these arrangements and/or (iii) arranging for any of your bills to be paid. You have informed us which of these options you have chosen and given your consent accordingly. We accept no responsibility in relation to you choosing that third party to manage your billing arrangements or in relation to their use or misuse of such of your personal information to which they have access under these arrangements.
We may also disclose your personal data to a third party if we are under a duty to do so in order to comply with a legal obligation or in order to enforce or apply our terms of use. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of law enforcement, fraud protection, and credit risk reduction.
7 International Transfers
We may transfer personal data outside the UK to group companies or third-party service providers.
When we transfer your personal data within our group of companies, we use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in the UK, namely the International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers.
Where data is transferred out of the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK law, we ensure that:
- Adequate Safeguards are implemented, such as The International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers or other legal mechanisms to protect your data.
- Data Protection Levels: Meet the same standards required under UK law.
8 Data Security
We have in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.
Our data security measures include (but are not limited to):
- Encryption: Secure transmission of data using encryption technologies.
- Access Controls: Restricting access to personal data on a need-to-know basis.
- Network Security Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of our network for potential threats.
- Incident Response Procedures: Immediate actions to contain and resolve data breaches.
We hold ISO 27001 certification, the internationally recognised standard for information security management. This certification demonstrates our commitment to implementing and maintaining a robust framework of policies, processes, and controls to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the information we hold.
In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We also have in place procedures to deal with any actual or suspected personal data breach and will notify you and the ICO (the UK supervisory authority) of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using SSL technology. Where we have given you (or you have chosen) a customer ID, password(s) or log-ins to allow you to access certain parts of our Website, you are responsible for keeping these confidential. You are responsible for how our services are used from your account and for keeping your account information secret. Please keep this information safe, and do not share it with others.
Unfortunately, sending information using the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of the data you send to our Website; you take the risk for this. Once we have received your information, we will try our best to keep it secure. This includes using strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Our Website may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and others associated with us. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy and cookie policies. We accept no responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you send any personal data to these websites.
9 Data Retention
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
We will retain your personal data according to the following timelines:
- Customer Account Information: 7 years after account closure for tax purposes.
- Biometric Login Data (cryptographic public key): retained for as long as you keep biometric login enabled, and deleted when you disable biometric login or close your account.
- One-Time Passcodes (SMS or email re-verification): short-lived; these expire after a short defined period and are not retained once verification is completed.
- Service Usage Data: Retained for as long as necessary for analysis and service improvement (typically up to 5 years), and in any event no longer than required to meet our legal, regulatory and billing obligations.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for at least 7 years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
We may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you and so you are no longer identified or identifiable by such data) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
10 Your Legal Rights
You have various rights in relation to your personal data – these are set out in detail below. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email us: dataprotection@youfibre.com
Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete your personal data when we no longer need it. You may also ask us to delete your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with a legal obligation. However, we may not be able to comply with your request of erasure, for example, if we are required to retain your personal data for legal reasons. We will let you know if this is the case.
Object to processing of your personal data where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You have the right to object where we are relying on a legitimate interest to process your personal data but you feel the processing impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your personal data. You may ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you do not think the data we hold is accurate, whilst we verify its accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where we no longer need to process it but you require us to store it in relation to a legal claim; or (d) if you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will if feasible practically provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to information which we process by automated means and use to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (for example, for marketing purposes). However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.
Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We wish to have the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO, so please contact us in the first instance before you exercise this right.
We currently do not use solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data or to exercise any of your other rights. However, if we feel that your request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or we may let you know that we are refusing to comply with your request. If we refuse your request, we will explain why and you will be entitled to raise the issue with the ICO.
We will respond to all legitimate requests within 30 days of receipt and, if possible, achieve a satisfactory resolution within that time period. Occasionally it may take us longer than 30 days if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
11 Changes to this Privacy Notice
Any changes we may make to this Privacy Policy in the future will be posted on this page. You should check this page from time to time for any changes we make. We may also email you about these changes, if you are a customer of the Company.

When you contact us, whether to exercise your rights, in relation to a complaint or otherwise, we may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
