How we use your data
UK GDPR requires a lawful basis for each use. Ours are below.
| Purpose | Lawful basis |
|---|---|
| Answering enquiries and booking calls | Legitimate interests, or steps before entering a contract |
| Delivering web, social media, SEO, photography and other services | Contract |
| Invoicing, accounting and tax records | Legal obligation |
| Sending our newsletter and marketing emails | Consent, which you can withdraw at any time |
| Measuring and improving our website | Consent, given through our cookie banner |
| Keeping our website and systems secure | Legitimate interests |
We never sell your personal data. We do not make decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects.
Cookies and analytics
We use essential cookies to run the site, and set optional cookies only after you agree in our cookie banner.
| Cookie type | Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | wittygeeks.co.uk (WordPress) | Keep the site working, secure forms and remember your cookie choice |
| Analytics | Google (via Google Tag Manager) | Count visits and see which pages are used, so we can improve the site |
| Booking | Calendly | Let you book a call from our pages |
You can change your choice at any time from the cookie banner, or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.
Who we share it with
We share personal data only with trusted suppliers who help us run our business, and only as much as they need.
- Website hosting and our website platform
- Google for analytics and business email or file storage
- Calendly for call bookings
- Our email newsletter provider to send updates you signed up for
- Our accountant for bookkeeping and tax
- Social media platforms when we manage accounts or run ads on a client's behalf
- Police, courts or regulators when the law requires it
Each supplier processes data under a written contract and our instructions. Some, such as Google and Calendly, may store data outside the UK, mainly in the United States. When that happens we rely on UK adequacy regulations, the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, or the ICO's International Data Transfer Agreement.
How long we keep it and how we protect it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it, then delete or anonymise it.
| Data | How long we keep it |
|---|---|
| Enquiries that don't lead to work | 2 years from last contact |
| Client contracts, invoices and project records | 6 years after the project ends, as UK tax law requires |
| Newsletter subscribers | Until you unsubscribe |
| Website analytics | 14 months |
We protect your data with secure (HTTPS) connections, strong passwords and two-factor authentication on our accounts, access limited to the people who need it, and regular software updates. No online system is fully secure, so we will tell you and the ICO about any serious breach as the law requires.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correct data that is wrong or incomplete
- Delete your data where we no longer have a reason to keep it
- Restrict or object to how we use your data, including for marketing
- Move data you gave us to another provider (portability)
- Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent
To use any of these rights, contact us using the details above. It is free, and we will reply within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first so we can put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
