What personal data I collect and why
This is primarily an informational website. I do not require visitors to create accounts, and I do not store contact form submissions in the WordPress database.
When you contact me via the contact form, your message is delivered to me by email using Brevo, a third-party email delivery service. Brevo may retain logs of this transmission, including your email address and message metadata, for a limited period as part of their standard service operation. I do not store this data myself beyond normal email correspondence.
If you contact me directly by email or telephone, I may retain the following:
- Your name and contact details
- Information relevant to your enquiry or project
This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and to fulfil any subsequent work we agree to undertake together. It is never sold, distributed, or shared with third parties without your consent, unless required by law.
Your rights under UK GDPR
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data I hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Withdraw consent for data processing at any time
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at [email protected]. I may ask you to verify your identity before processing your request.
