Last updated: July 2026. This explains what data WebDeck collects, why, and what you can do about it. We've tried to write it in plain English rather than lawyer.
WebDeck is developed and operated by VM6 Networks Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Company No. 16553775). In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean VM6 Networks Ltd.
For data protection purposes, VM6 Networks Ltd is the data controller for the limited personal data described below.

WebDeck is software you install on your own server. It communicates with our servers for three purposes only:
To verify which plan a WebDeck installation is on — Free or Pro — the panel periodically contacts our licence server and sends:
The server replies with your plan and its limits. This happens on the Free tier too — that is how a free installation is recognised as a legitimate installation, receives updates, and is told what its limits are.
This is necessary to provide the software under its licence terms. Under UK GDPR our lawful basis is legitimate interests (verifying licensed use of our software) and, where you have a licence with us, performance of a contract.
So that we know what versions and platforms are in use, and can support them, the panel reports:
Lawful basis: legitimate interests (maintaining, securing and improving the software).
This is off by default. If — and only if — you switch on telemetry in Settings, WebDeck will additionally send:
These help us find and fix bugs — often before other users hit them. Lawful basis: consent. You can withdraw consent at any time by switching telemetry off in Settings; nothing further is sent from that moment on.
To be completely clear, WebDeck does not transmit to us:
Your data stays on your server. WebDeck is software you run, not a service we host.
On webdeckpanel.co.uk we use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — which pages people read, roughly where visitors come from, and whether the documentation is working.
Google Analytics sets cookies and processes data including your IP address (which Google truncates/anonymises), your browser and device type, and the pages you view. Google acts as a processor on our behalf and may transfer data outside the UK; Google's own privacy information is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
Lawful basis: legitimate interests (understanding and improving our website). You can block analytics with any standard browser extension or by declining cookies in your browser settings.
Our web server also keeps standard access logs (IP address, page requested, time, browser) for security and troubleshooting.
If you email support, we keep the correspondence — your email address, what you told us, and anything you sent (log extracts, screenshots) — so we can help you and refer back to it if you contact us again. Lawful basis: legitimate interests (providing support) or performance of a contract if you are a customer.
We do not sell your data. We do not share it for advertising. We share it only with:
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, email support@vm6.co.uk. We will respond within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited data we hold — encrypted transport, access controls, and keeping only what we need. No system is perfectly secure, but we do not hold the kind of data that would make us an interesting target, largely because we deliberately don't collect it.
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it last changed. Material changes to how we handle personal data will be announced on this website.
