Personal data

What the site collects

  • Email metadata and message content created when the form sends a brief through Resend.
  • Basic technical and security data needed to deliver, protect, and verify the site through Cloudflare and Turnstile, such as request metadata, IP address, approximate country, and verification outcome.
  • Optional analytics data if you accept analytics cookies and scripts.

Purpose

How I use it

  • To reply to enquiries and decide whether there is a useful fit.
  • To operate, secure, and improve the site.
  • To understand aggregate site usage after analytics consent.
  • To keep records needed for ongoing work, legal, tax, or accounting reasons.

Lawful basis

Why the processing is allowed

  • Enquiries and pre-contract discussions: legitimate interests and steps requested before entering into a contract.
  • Site operation, security, anti-spam checks, and abuse prevention: legitimate interests in running and protecting the site.

Processors

Services involved

Cloudflare hosts and protects the site, including Turnstile verification on the contact form. Resend sends contact-form email. Google Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics are used only after optional analytics consent is accepted on this site.These providers may process data outside the UK or EEA under their contractual safeguards.

Retention

How long I keep it

Contact-form enquiries that do not become active work are normally kept for up to 24 months, unless earlier deletion is requested and there is no need to keep the record.Messages, contracts, invoices, and related records connected with active or past work may be kept longer where needed for legal, tax, accounting, dispute, or relationship-management reasons.Security, delivery, and analytics data held by Cloudflare, Resend, or Google is retained according to their service settings and policies.Analytics preferences are stored in your browser until you change them or clear browser storage.
