Overview
This website is operated as a professional portfolio, freelance services site, and technical blog. We aim to collect as little personal data as possible and to explain clearly what happens when data is processed.
What we may process
- Contact form details: your name, email address, subject, and message when you decide to contact us.
- Technical request data: server request metadata such as IP address, request path, browser details, and timestamps needed for security, diagnostics, and service delivery.
- Admin access data: authentication and security-related records for protected administration areas.
- Optional analytics and diagnostics data: site visit and troubleshooting data only when optional tracking has been enabled by the visitor through the cookie controls.
How contact form data is used
Contact form submissions are used to respond to enquiries, assess project fit, continue a requested conversation, and maintain a business record of inbound communication. We do not publish direct email addresses on the public site in order to reduce spam and scraping.
Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses an essential preference cookie to remember a visitor's cookie choice. Essential functionality, security, and accessibility-related processing may continue without optional tracking being enabled.
If optional analytics and diagnostics are enabled, we may process additional visit data to understand site performance, detect technical issues, and improve the experience over time. These optional features are not required to browse the public site.
Lawful bases
- Consent: for optional analytics and diagnostics where we rely on a visitor choice.
- Legitimate interests: for site security, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, and keeping the website working reliably.
- Pre-contract steps / contract: where a visitor contacts us about services, support, or collaboration.
Retention
We keep data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected for, including handling enquiries, maintaining security records, and meeting legal or accounting obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of record and the sensitivity of the issue involved.
Sharing and processors
We may use service providers that support web hosting, infrastructure, email delivery, security, backups, and site operations. Where these providers process personal data on our behalf, they are expected to do so under appropriate contractual and security safeguards.
International transfers
Where a service provider is based outside the UK or EEA, we aim to use appropriate safeguards before personal data is transferred or made accessible internationally.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or to withdraw consent for optional processing. If you want to exercise a privacy right, please use the site's contact form and clearly mark the request as privacy-related.
Updates to this notice
We may update this notice from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or technical changes. The “last updated” date on this page shows when the current version was last reviewed.
