Privacy Policy

Greetings, Galactic Traveler!

In the vast, uncharted reaches of the universe, where the concepts of time, space, and reality intertwine like the plot threads of a soap opera, lies the digital domain of Onlife.

Onlife Limited trades under various brands, and may be referred to as (“we”, “us” or “Onlife”). Our company number is 11457733 and our registered address is Suite Lp44627 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU.

Your personal data may be transferred and stored in a country that is based outside of the UK or European Economic Area (together the EEA), particularly if you are a resident in the United States of America. In particular:

  • Some of our data processors (including third party payment processors or server providers), are based outside of the EEA, e.g. in the USA. In that case, we will ensure we have an agreement in place with such processors to provide adequate safeguards and a copy of such safeguards will be available on request. 

  • If you use our services while you are outside the EEA, your information may be transferred outside the EEA in order to provide you with our services or communicate with you.

  • We may communicate with individuals or organisations outside of the EEA in providing our services. Those communications may include personal data (such as contact information).

  • From time to time your information may be stored in devices which are used by our staff who are outside of the EEA, such as in the US or Australia (but staff will be subject to our cyber-security policies).

If we transfer your information outside of the EEA, and the third country or international organisation in question has not been deemed by the EU Commission to have adequate data protection laws, we will provide appropriate safeguards and we will be responsible for ensuring your privacy rights continue to be protected as outlined in this notice.

Greetings, Galactic Traveler!

In the vast, uncharted reaches of the universe, where the concepts of time, space, and reality intertwine like the plot threads of a soap opera, lies the digital domain of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (hereinafter referred to as "The Guide"). Your privacy, much like a small, unregarded yellow sun in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy, is of paramount importance to us.


1. Collection of Cosmic Data

The Guide may collect personal data, such as your name, galactic coordinates, species, and the likelihood of you being a direct descendant of Genghis Khan. We collect this information to better tailor your experience as you navigate the mysteries of the cosmos. Remember, any attempt to falsify your species for a cheaper subscription rate is frowned upon and may result in being teleported to the nearest Vogon poetry reading as punishment.


1.1. Cookies and Tracking Beacons

Like the crumbs leading a Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal to its next meal, our cookies track your journey through The Guide. These digital markers help us understand your preferences, such as whether you prefer tea over Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters. Rest assured, our use of such technologies is solely to enhance your experience and not to monitor your every move (that's the job of the Galactic Government).


2. Use of Interstellar Information

The information collected is used to personalize your guidance through the galaxy, from recommending the best places to avoid Vogon demolition fleets to finding the coziest corners in the Universe for a quick nap.


2.1. Sharing With Third Parties

Your data will not be traded to alien species, intergalactic corporations, or rogue AI entities without your explicit consent. Exceptions include requests by Zaphod Beeblebrox (in any of his phases) or if required by interstellar law, which, as you know, is as changeable as the Guide's entry on Earth (mostly harmless).


3. Security of Galactic Secrets

The Guide employs quantum encryption to protect your data, which is theoretically secure unless someone invents a better quantum decryption device, or a pan-dimensional being sneezes on our servers. We take reasonable precautions, but as with all things in the universe, absolute security is as elusive as the Question to the Ultimate Answer.


4. Your Rights Among the Stars

You retain the right to access the information The Guide holds about you, even if it's just to confirm that you're not a figment of your own imagination. Should you wish to be forgotten, send a polite request, or a mildly threatening letter written in perfect iambic pentameter. We're required by galactic statute to comply, unless doing so would cause the universe to implode.


5. Amendments in the Space-Time Continuum

Our Privacy Policy may change, much like the Guide's advice on how to fly (throw yourself at the ground and miss). Any changes will be posted faster than you can say "What the hell is happening to the dolphins?"


To Conclude,

Your journey through The Guide is your own, as is your data. We're just here to make that journey a little less confusing and a lot more entertaining. Remember, in the vast, indifferent universe, your privacy matters to us, because without you, who else is going to read this?
