Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

I only collect personal information that is necessary to deliver my web design services, respond to business enquiries, and analyse website performance. This includes:

• Contact Information: Your name, email address, telephone number, and any project details you provide when filling out forms on this website or contacting me directly via email or phone.
• Technical & Usage Data: Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, operating system, page interaction information, and navigation paths.

Formspree Integration & Enquiry Data

When you submit an enquiry through the contact form on this website, your form data is processed and securely transmitted via Formspree Inc., our third-party form processing provider.

Google Analytics & Google Search Console

To understand how visitors interact with my website, troubleshoot performance issues, and enhance the overall user experience, this website uses Google tools:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4): Collects aggregated, pseudonymised statistical data about website usage, including pages visited, session duration, device types, and geographic region. IP anonymisation is enabled by default to prevent direct identification of individual users.
• Google Search Console: Monitors search indexing status, organic search queries, click-through rates, and technical crawl health to ensure the website is discoverable and properly indexed on Google search.

This data is used solely for technical optimisation, site enhancements, and understanding content engagement. It is never used to identify individual visitors or combined with third-party personal profiles.

Cookies & Local Storage

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help websites run efficiently and provide analytics insights.

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for core site functionality and security.
• Analytical Cookies: Used by Google Analytics to distinguish unique users and throttle request rates.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Most modern browsers allow you to manage or delete cookies via your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).

Our Lawful Basis for Processing

Under Article 6 of the UK GDPR, I process your data under the following legal bases:

Security & Third-Party Sharing

I will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

Data is only shared with trusted service providers who assist in operating this website (e.g. Formspree for form handling, Google for analytics, and our secure UK cloud hosting infrastructure). All third parties are contractually bound to keep your information confidential and secure.

I implement industry-standard technical measures, including SSL/TLS encryption, access controls, and secure server environments, to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.
