What we collect

When you use the contact form, we collect:

• your first and last name
• your business name
• your email address
• what your business does
• whether you have a website now

If you email us directly, we get your email address and whatever you choose to write.

We may also receive technical data, such as your IP address and browser details, which our providers (Web3Forms and Cloudflare) may log to deliver the service and prevent abuse.

All of this comes directly from you. You do not have to give it to us, but we cannot reply to your enquiry without it.

Why we use it

We use your details to reply to your enquiry and to prepare a quote. That is all.

Our lawful bases under UK GDPR are:

• Steps you ask us to take before entering a contract (Article 6(1)(b)), when you ask us for a quote. If you become a client, we also use your details to carry out the contract.
• Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)), when we keep client and invoice records for tax and accounting.
• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)), for handling general enquiries and keeping business records. You would reasonably expect this, and it has little impact on your privacy.

We never sell your details, and we never add you to a marketing list. We do not make automated decisions about you or profile you.

Who helps us

A few trusted providers handle data for us (these are called processors). They handle your data under their own data-protection terms with us.

• Web3Forms (Web3Creative) delivers your contact form message to our inbox. It acts as our processor. Its own privacy policy is at web3forms.com/privacy.
• Google (Gmail) is where our email is stored.
• Cloudflare hosts this website and forwards our email to Gmail.

Data sent through the contact form may be processed outside the UK. Web3Forms says it protects that data with appropriate safeguards, and you can read more in its privacy policy. Google and Cloudflare may also process data outside the UK, under their own terms with us.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries from people who do not become clients are deleted within 12 months. Deleted enquiries may remain in email backups for a short time before they are removed.
• Client records are kept for as long as we need them for the project, and then for as long as the law requires, usually around six years for tax and accounting records.

Your rights

You have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the data we hold about you
• ask us to correct anything that is wrong
• ask us to delete your data
• ask us to restrict how we use it
• object to how we use it
• ask for your data in a portable format

To use any of these, email [email protected]. We will reply within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, please email [email protected] first. We will acknowledge your complaint within 30 days and tell you what we are doing about it.

You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Cookies

This site does not set any cookies of its own and does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, may occasionally set a strictly necessary security cookie to protect the site from bots. Our fonts are hosted on our own site, so no data goes to Google Fonts. We do not currently use any analytics. If we add privacy-friendly, cookieless statistics (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics), we will update this page first.

Security

We take reasonable steps to keep your data safe. This website uses HTTPS, and email is usually encrypted in transit.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of the page.
