Privacy

What does this site collect?

Almost nothing. This is a plain website with no contact form, no chat widget and no login. The only personal information we hold about you is whatever you chose to put in an email to us, plus the ordinary server records every website keeps in order to serve pages at all.

This page describes the site as it stands today. If that changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the bottom moves.

What you email Your name, email address, business details and anything else you type into a message to us. We keep it so we can reply to you and, if we work together, so we have a record of what was agreed. You chose to send it

Cookies This site sets no tracking cookies, no advertising cookies and no remarketing pixels at present. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to. None at present

Analytics No analytics tool is installed at present. If one is added, this page will name it, say what it records, and say whether it is configured to hold IP addresses. Disclosure goes here when it exists

Server logs The web server keeps standard access logs, which include IP address, timestamp, the page requested and the browser string. They exist for security and fault finding, they are not joined to anything else, and they age out. Ordinary hosting records

Fonts Typefaces are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google to fetch them. That is the only third party this site contacts. Named so you know it happens

Use

What happens to what you send?

Nothing is sold

We use it to answer you, and to run the work if you become a client. That is the whole list.

We do not sell personal information. We do not rent, trade or share it with data brokers, list builders or advertising networks. We do not add you to a newsletter or a marketing sequence because we do not run one. If you email us and we never speak again, nothing happens to your address at all.

Email is handled by ordinary business email and hosting providers, which means those providers necessarily process the message in order to deliver and store it. That is the same set of providers any business email passes through.

If we are ever legally required to hand something over, we will comply, and we will tell you unless we are forbidden from telling you.

Your call

How do you get it deleted?

Email us

Email us and ask. You do not need a reason, a legal citation or a particular form of words.

Ask

Send a message to [email protected] from the address you want removed, or tell us which address it is if you no longer have it.

Scope

We delete the correspondence and any contact details we hold for you, and confirm in writing when it is done. We aim to complete it within 30 days and usually much sooner.

What we cannot delete

Records we are required to keep, such as signed contracts and invoices for tax purposes, and copies already inside backups until those backups age out on their normal schedule.

You can also ask us what we hold about you, and we will tell you plainly rather than sending you a data export you have to decode. Depending on where you live you may have additional statutory rights over your personal information, and we will honour a request under those laws the same way we would honour a plain email.

Changes If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected, the date below moves and the change is described in plain language rather than buried. Dated, not silent

Children This site is aimed at business owners. We do not knowingly collect information from children, and there is nothing here designed to. Not a consumer service
