Privacy policy

This website is run by Tom Smith, a sole trader trading as Smith Studio Co. (“I”, “me”). I’m the data controller for any personal information you give me through this site. You can contact me at tom.smith@smithstudiocompany.co.uk.

What I collect

When you use the contact form, I collect your name, email address, the type of project and anything you write in your message. I don’t use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies on this site.

Why I use it

I use your details only to reply to your enquiry, discuss and quote for your project and, if we work together, to deliver it. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, or taking steps to enter into a contract with you at your request.

Who I share it with

I don’t sell your information or share it for marketing. Form submissions are processed and stored by my website host, Netlify, and emails are handled by my email provider. These services act on my behalf and may store data outside the UK under appropriate safeguards.

How long I keep it

I keep enquiries that don’t lead to work for up to 12 months. If you become a client, I keep business records for as long as the law requires, normally six years for tax purposes.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the information I hold about you, or object to how I use it. Just email me. If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
