What I collect, and why

When you contact me

The contact form asks for your name, email address, an optional phone number, what you need, and your message. If you email me, I get your email address and whatever you write. I use this only to reply to you and, if we work together, to quote for and deliver the work.

The legal basis is legitimate interests (answering a question you sent me) or, where you ask for a quote, taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Spam protection

The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person, not a bot, sent it. Turnstile reads signals from your browser and your IP address to do this. It does not set advertising cookies. The legal basis is legitimate interests (keeping the form free of spam).

Analytics

I use Umami, run on my own server, to count visits. It does not use cookies, does not store your IP address, and does not track you across other sites. It records the page you visited, the referring site, your browser, device type and country, so I can see which pages are useful. I cannot identify you from this data.

Hosting

The site runs on Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and request details to deliver pages and protect the site from attacks.

Who processes your data

• Cloudflare, Inc., for website hosting, the contact form handler and Turnstile.
• Discord, Inc., which receives contact form messages in a private Discord channel that only I can see.
• My email provider, for emails you send me, and my replies.

Cloudflare and Discord are based in the United States. Where your data leaves the UK, it is protected by the safeguards these providers put in place for international transfers, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

I don't sell your data, share it for marketing, or add you to a mailing list.

How long I keep it

I keep enquiries and our emails for up to 2 years after we last spoke, then delete them. If we work together, I keep business records, such as invoices, for 6 years, because UK tax law requires it.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask me to:

• give you a copy of the personal data I hold about you,
• correct it if it is wrong,
• delete it,
• stop or limit how I use it, or object to that use.

Email hello@typewritingchimp.co.uk and I'll respond within one month. If you're not happy with how I handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Changes

If this policy changes, I'll update it here and change the date at the top.
