Why I Value your Privacy
I value your privacy as much as I do my own, so I am committed to keeping your personal and business information safe. I am uncomfortable with the information companies, governments, and other organisations keep on file, so I ask for only the bare minimum from my customers. I will never use your personal information for any reason other than why you gave it. I will never give anyone access to it unless I am forced to do so by law.
How I Collect Information
I ask for contact information, including your name and email address, on my website to reply to your inquiry.
My website does not use uses cookies to track your visit. I don’t use native social media ‘like’ or ‘sharing’ buttons that build your internet activity profiles.
I will ask for your contact information when you hire or buy something from me.
What Information do I Hold?
When you contact me by email or through my website, I collect your name, email address and the company you work for if you have given it.
If you do business with me, I also collect your phone number, business name and bank details and keep records of the invoices I send you and the payments you make.
Use of Cookies
Regarding personal information and the use of Analytics, Plausible doesn’t store any personal information. Cookies are not used, and no personal data is collected. There are no persistent identifiers. No cross-site or cross-device tracking either.
Where I Store Your Information
When you contact me by email or through the website, I save your contact data in Cardhop. I also keep your information in my accounts software, Starling Bank.
What I use Your Information for
I may occasionally use your contact information to send you details of my services. When I do, you have the option to unsubscribe from these communications, and I won’t send them to you again. I will use your information to send you invoices, statements, or reminders.
Who’s Responsible for Your Information
I am responsible for the security of your data. You can contact me by email at david@robertsdesign.biz if you have any concerns about the information I store.
Who has Access to Information About You?
When I store information in my systems, only I have access.
Keeping Your Information Private
Where I store your data in third-party services, I restrict access only to people who need it. I store passwords in 1Password, an encrypted password manager, use a different, randomly generated password for each service, and never use the same password twice.
The computers I use are encrypted using FileVault and protected by a passcode or face reaction access. These computers ask for authentication whenever they’re started or after 5 minutes of inactivity. Face reaction access also protects my mobile devices.
How to Complain
I take complaints very seriously. If you’ve any reason to complain about the way I handle your privacy, please contact me by email or phone on +44 (0)7788 837201.
Changes to the Policy
If I change the contents of this policy, those changes will become effective the moment I publish them on this site.
