PRIVACY POLICY
1. Who we are
This website is operated by:
Laura MacDonald
[Your Address]
[City, Postcode]
[Country]
Contact: [your email address]
We are the data controller responsible for the personal data described in this policy, in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
2. What data we collect
We only collect personal data that you provide to us directly, specifically when you use the contact form on this website. This includes:
— Your name
— Your email address
— The subject and content of your message
We do not use cookies for analytics, advertising, or tracking purposes, and we do not collect any personal data automatically through your general use of this site beyond what your browser or our hosting provider processes as standard technical/server data (see Section 5).
3. Why we process your data
We use the information you submit via the contact form solely to respond to your enquiry. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries sent to us, and/or your consent, given by submitting the form (Article 6(1)(a) and/or (f) UK GDPR).
We do not use your data for marketing purposes, and we do not sell or share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
4. Third-party processors
Our contact form is processed using Formspree, a third-party form-handling service based in the United States. When you submit the contact form, your submitted data (name, email, subject, message) is transmitted to and stored by Formspree in order to deliver your message to us.
Because Formspree is based outside the UK, this involves an international transfer of your data. Formspree participates in appropriate data transfer safeguards; further details are available in Formspree's own privacy policy: https://formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy/
5. Hosting and technical data
This website is hosted by [your hosting provider, e.g. Netlify Inc.]. As with virtually any website, our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser type, and time of access — for the purposes of security and reliable delivery of the site. This is standard server-log activity and is not used by us to identify individual visitors.
6. How long we keep your data
We retain contact form submissions only for as long as necessary to respond to and resolve your enquiry, and not longer than [e.g. 12 months], after which it is deleted, unless a longer retention period is required by law or is necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
— Request access to the personal data we hold about you
— Request correction of inaccurate data
— Request deletion of your data
— Object to or restrict how we process your data
— Request a copy of your data in a portable format
— Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [your email address]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
8. Cookies
This website does not currently use non-essential cookies, analytics, or third-party advertising trackers. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated and, where required under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), your consent will be requested before any such cookies are set.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page.
