Privacy Policy

Information you give us. When you use our contact form we collect your name, email address, subject and message. When you subscribe to our newsletter we collect your email address.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider records basic technical data when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you request and the referring website. We use this only to keep the site secure and working.

Analytics and advertising data. Google Analytics and Google AdSense collect information such as pages viewed, time on site, approximate location, device and browser details, and cookie identifiers. We see this only as aggregated reports, not as data that identifies you.

• To reply to your enquiries and discuss projects with you.
• To send the newsletter you subscribed to. You can unsubscribe at any time.
• To keep the website secure, prevent abuse and fix problems.
• To understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
• To show ads that help keep our content free.

We do not sell, trade or rent your personal information. We share it only with services that help us run the site:

• Resend delivers contact form messages to us and stores newsletter subscriber emails.
• Vercel hosts the website and processes the technical data described above.
• WordPress.com hosts our blog content, which is loaded into this site.
• Google Analytics measures how the site is used.
• Google AdSense serves ads on the site. Google and its partners may use cookies to personalise ads. See how Google uses this data.

These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy and security commitments.

We use essential storage to run the site, plus analytics and advertising cookies from Google. You can opt out of them or block them in your browser. See our Cookie Policy for details.

The site is served over HTTPS and we use reputable providers with industry-standard security. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so please avoid sending sensitive information such as passwords or payment details through our contact form.

We keep contact messages for as long as needed to respond and follow up on a project. Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Delete your personal data.
• Object to or restrict how we use your data.
• Unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.
