Privacy Policy

I collect the minimum information required to answer your enquiries and deliver my web development services. This happens when you fill in the contact form on this website, email me, call me, or work with me on a project.

Information you give me

• Contact details such as your name, email address, phone number and company or brand name.
• Project details you choose to share — goals, pages, features, references and attachments.
• Billing details required for invoicing completed work, such as a billing address.

Information collected automatically

• Aggregate usage data such as which pages are visited, used only to understand what is useful.
• Technical data such as browser and device type, used for security and performance.

• To respond to your enquiries, prepare quotes and deliver the services you requested.
• To plan, build, deploy and support the projects we agree on.
• To send updates about your project and, with your consent, occasional news about my services.
• To meet legal, accounting and tax obligations.

I do not sell your personal information, and I do not use your data for advertising or to train third-party AI models.

This website uses only essential browser storage — for example to protect forms against abuse and remember preferences. Nothing here tracks you across the web.

• Essential storage keeps the site working and its forms safe from spam. The site cannot function without it.
• You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking essential storage may affect form submission.

I share personal information only with the providers who need it to run this website and deliver your project, and only for that purpose.

• Service providers such as hosting, email delivery and payment processors, bound by contract to protect your data.
• Professional advisers such as accountants, under confidentiality obligations.
• Law enforcement or regulators, where I am legally required to disclose.

• Encryption in transit using TLS for this website and its forms.
• Access control and secure development practices on every project.
• Regular backups of project work, with least-privilege access.

No system is perfectly secure. If a data incident ever affects you, I will explain what happened and what I am doing about it, and notify the relevant authorities as required by law.

I keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, or as required by law.

• Enquiry records are retained for up to 3 years, in case you come back to a project later.
• Project files and correspondence are kept for the duration of the project and any support period we agree on.
• Billing records are retained for the period required by tax and accounting law.

You may, at any time:

• Request a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
• Ask me to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Ask me to delete personal information where I am not legally required to keep it.
• Withdraw consent for updates and news at any time, using the unsubscribe link or by writing to me.

Just email me at the address below and I will take care of it.

This website is a personal portfolio and is not directed at children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

I may update this policy to reflect changes in my services or the law. The latest version is always available on this page with the last-updated date shown at the top.
