Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 2025

Overview

This is a personal professional website. I take your privacy seriously and handle any information you share responsibly and in accordance with UK data protection law.

What I Collect and Why

Contact Form

When you submit the contact form, I collect:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Any message content you provide

Why: To respond to your enquiry.

How long: I retain contact form submissions for up to 12 months unless there's an ongoing conversation or legitimate reason to keep them longer.

Legal basis: Legitimate interest (responding to professional enquiries).

Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This collects:

  • Pages you visit
  • Time spent on the site
  • Approximate location (city/region level)
  • Device and browser information
  • IP address (processed by Google; configured to anonymise where supported)

Why: To improve the site and understand what content is useful.

How long: Google retains this data for 26 months.

Legal basis: Where required, consent; otherwise legitimate interest (website improvement).

You can opt out of Google Analytics by using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out.

Payments (Stripe)

If you choose to make a payment or start a subscription via this website, payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe may collect and process information required to complete the transaction (for example, payment details and billing information).

I do not receive or store your full payment card details. I may receive limited transaction information (such as confirmation that a payment succeeded).

What I Don't Do

I don't:

  • Sell or share your data with third parties (except Google Analytics as described above)
  • Use your data for marketing unless you've specifically requested updates
  • Store your payment card details (payments, where used, are processed by Stripe)
  • Track you across other websites

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request a copy of any personal data I hold about you
  • Request correction of incorrect data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Object to processing
  • Withdraw consent at any time

Security

Contact form data is transmitted securely via HTTPS. I take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no internet transmission is 100% secure.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy occasionally. Significant changes will be noted with a new "Last updated" date.
