2. Information we collect

When you submit an enquiry, we may collect:

• Full name and email address

• Business name and service requested

• Approximate project budget, if provided

If you become a client, we may collect additional information needed to provide agreed services and maintain business records. Framer’s built-in analytics also provides information about website usage and general traffic patterns.

• Respond to enquiries and discuss project requirements

• Prepare quotations and proposals

• Communicate with prospective and existing clients

• Provide agreed website design and digital services and ongoing technical support

• Maintain necessary business and financial records

• Understand general website performance

We do not sell personal information. Information submitted through an enquiry form is not automatically added to a marketing mailing list.

4. Lawful bases for processing

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on the following lawful bases:

• Legitimate interests: responding to relevant business enquiries and maintaining appropriate business communications, where those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

• Contract: providing agreed services or taking steps you request before entering a contract.

• Legal obligations: meeting applicable financial and recordkeeping requirements.

• Consent: where a particular activity legally requires your consent.

The lawful basis that applies depends on the purpose and circumstances of the processing.

5. Service providers

We use third-party services to operate our website and business communications. These providers may process personal information as part of providing their services:

• Framer: website hosting, native enquiry form functionality and built-in website analytics.

• Nutty About Hosting: domain management and email forwarding.

• Google Gmail: business email receipt, communication and correspondence management.

These providers may process personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where an international transfer is subject to UK data protection law, appropriate safeguards are required.

6. Analytics and cookies

We use Framer’s built-in, cookieless analytics to understand general website traffic and performance. We do not currently use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or third-party advertising-tracking integrations. If additional analytics or marketing technologies are introduced, we will review the relevant privacy and consent requirements.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

7. Information retention

We retain unsuccessful business enquiries for no longer than 12 months after the last meaningful contact, unless a valid legal or other legitimate reason requires longer retention. Relevant client and financial records may be retained for longer where necessary to meet contractual, legal, accounting or tax obligations.

Under applicable UK data protection law, you may have the right to:

• Access your personal information

• Correct inaccurate information

• Request erasure or restriction of processing

• Object to processing or request data portability

• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent

These rights are subject to applicable legal conditions and exceptions. Send privacy requests to hello@studioswabey.co.uk. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information and use service providers to support website hosting and business communications. No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed completely secure.
