I do not sell your information

I do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.

Contact forms and enquiries

Information submitted through the contact form is used to respond to your enquiry and discuss potential work.

Enquiries are stored in a secure database so I can manage follow-up, and a copy is also sent by email (via Resend) to my studio inbox.

Enquiry records may be retained for business records and follow-up unless you ask me to delete them where I am able to do so.

Payments and subscriptions

Website Care and other subscription services may use third-party payment providers such as Stripe.

Payment details are handled securely by the payment provider. I do not store your full card details.

Stripe may process information according to its own privacy policy.

Authentication and client accounts

If you use a client account area, Better Auth manages sign-in sessions and related security data.

This may include:

  • Email address
  • Hashed password (I do not store plain-text passwords)
  • Session cookies and related technical data (such as IP address and user agent)
  • Subscription status

Analytics

When enabled, this website may use Plausible Analytics.

Plausible is configured as a privacy-friendly, cookie-less analytics tool and does not use advertising cookies.

See the Cookie Policy for more detail.

Cookies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies may be used for:

  • Essential website functionality
  • Security and signed-in sessions
  • Payment flows handled by Stripe

Data retention

I only keep personal information for as long as necessary.

Enquiry information may be retained for business records and follow-up purposes.

Client information may be retained for the duration of the project and for legal, accounting or support purposes afterwards.

Sharing your information

I may share information with trusted service providers where necessary to operate my business, such as:

  • Hosting providers
  • Email delivery (Resend) for enquiries and account emails
  • Payment processors (Stripe)
  • Privacy-friendly analytics (Plausible), when enabled
  • Website tools and software providers

Appropriate safeguards

I only use providers where appropriate safeguards are in place.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights including:

  • Accessing your personal data
  • Requesting correction of inaccurate information
  • Requesting deletion of your information
  • Restricting processing
  • Objecting to certain processing

Security

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information. However, no online system can be guaranteed completely secure.
