Privacy policy

This page explains what personal information Dreckly Digital collects, why we use it, and the rights you have. It's written in plain English under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

Dreckly Digital is a sole trader web design studio. The data controller is Mark Young trading as Dreckly Digital, 2 Boscoppa Close, Mount Ambrose, Redruth, Cornwall TR15 1NT.

For anything in this policy, email [email protected].

What we collect from the contact form

If you send the form on this website, we receive the information you type in. That is usually:

  • your name
  • your business name
  • your email address
  • your phone number, if you choose to give one
  • the type of business, the package you're interested in, and your message

The form is sent through a service called Web3Forms, which emails the submission to us at [email protected]. Web3Forms acts as our processor for that delivery. Their own privacy information is on the Web3Forms privacy page.

We don't ask the form for any more than we need to reply to you. We don't sell your details, and we don't add you to a marketing list just because you enquired.

Why we use it, and the lawful basis

We use your enquiry to understand what you need and to get back to you, including with a quote if that's what you've asked for. If we take on the work, we also use it to do that work and to keep in touch about the project.

The lawful basis is our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us. If you ask us to quote or to start work, we also use the information as a step towards a contract, and then to perform that contract.

How long we keep it

If we don't go ahead, we keep your enquiry for up to six months after our last substantive contact, or sooner if we no longer need it, and then we delete it.

A copy held by the form provider is kept only as long as needed to deliver the enquiry to us and for a short review, aimed at 30 days where we can verify deletion. We will not treat that 30-day aim as a guarantee until that deletion process has been tested for the provider actually in use.

If you become a client, we keep what we need to do the work, to support the site, and to meet our legal and tax record-keeping duties (including tax records for the applicable legal minimum). We delete it when we no longer need it for those reasons.

Local business research

To understand the local market, we keep a short list of Cornish businesses made from public sources, such as their own websites and public directories. It holds the trading name, town, type of business, the public web page we looked at and our notes on their current website. Some trading names include a person's name, but the list holds no email addresses, phone numbers or postal addresses, and we don't use it to contact anyone or for marketing. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests, which here means understanding our local market.

We review the list at least every six months and delete entries we no longer need. If your business is on it and you'd like it removed, or you'd like a copy of what we hold, email [email protected]. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Analytics and cookies

This site does not currently use analytics. We will not switch any analytics on until it has been assessed, and this page has been updated to match what is actually running.

This site doesn't set any marketing or tracking cookies of its own. Your browser may still store what it needs for the page to work. The opening animation, if it is shown, is not remembered in your browser storage.

Your rights

You can ask us to:

  • give you a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • correct it if it's wrong
  • delete it, in some circumstances
  • restrict or object to our use of it, in some circumstances
  • send it to you or to someone else in a portable format, in some circumstances

To do any of that, email [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator: ico.org.uk.

Client-data handover

If you're a client and our work for you ends, we'll give you a reasonable chance to export your site's data, then return or delete any personal data we hold for you, apart from records we must keep by law.

Changes

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll update this page. This version is dated 10 November 2026.
