Becca Wakley Design is an independent creative business based in Hayle, Cornwall, UK.
If you have any questions about this policy or how your personal information is used, please contact:
Email: hello@beccawakleydesign.co.uk
I may collect personal information when you contact me, enquire about a project, subscribe to my newsletter or otherwise interact with this website.
This may include your name, email address, business or organisation name, project details and any other information you choose to provide.
The website may also collect technical information relating to how the site is used, such as browser and device information, pages visited and website traffic data.
I may use your information to respond to enquiries, discuss potential projects, provide services you have requested, communicate with existing clients, manage projects and business administration, send newsletters where you have chosen to subscribe, understand how visitors use the website, improve the website and fulfil any legal, accounting or regulatory obligations associated with running my business.
Where you contact me about a potential project, your information may be processed in order to respond to your request and take steps towards entering into a client relationship.
I may also process information where it is necessary for my legitimate interests in running and developing Becca Wakley Design, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests.
Where I send you newsletters or other email marketing because you have subscribed, I rely on your consent.
If you submit an enquiry through the contact form on this website, I will use the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, discuss a potential project with you.
Submitting a contact form does not automatically add you to my newsletter or marketing list.
The website is hosted by Squarespace, so information submitted through the site may be processed by Squarespace in order to provide its website and form services.
If you choose to subscribe to my newsletter, I will use the information you provide, such as your name and email address, to send occasional updates about my work, projects and creative practice.
I use Mailchimp to manage newsletter subscriptions and send email campaigns. This means information you provide when subscribing may be processed by Mailchimp on my behalf.
Mailchimp is operated from the United States, and personal information may therefore be transferred to or processed outside the UK. Mailchimp provides contractual and other safeguards for transfers of UK and European personal data.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in my newsletters. I will respect your choice if you no longer wish to receive marketing communications. Current ICO guidance requires businesses to give people appropriate information and a way to opt out of direct marketing.
This website is built and hosted using Squarespace.
Squarespace may process certain information about visitors in order to host, secure and operate the website and provide services such as forms and website analytics.
Where relevant, personal information may be processed outside the UK by Squarespace and its service providers in accordance with its applicable privacy and data-transfer arrangements.
This website uses cookies and similar technologies.
Some cookies are necessary for the website to work correctly. These may be used for purposes such as security, website functionality and remembering visitor preferences.
The website may also use analytics cookies to help me understand how people use the site, including information such as which pages are visited and how visitors find the website.
Where consent is required, non-essential cookies will only be used after you have made your choice through the website's cookie banner.
You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences using the cookie settings available on the website.
The ICO's current guidance says websites should tell visitors what cookies are being used, explain their purpose and obtain consent for cookies that are not strictly necessary.
I only keep personal information for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected.
Enquiry information may be retained while it remains relevant to a potential or future project.
Information relating to completed client projects may be kept for business, administrative, legal, accounting or tax purposes where necessary.
If you subscribe to my newsletter, your subscriber information will normally be retained until you unsubscribe or ask me to remove it, subject to any information I may need to retain to record your marketing preferences.
I do not sell or rent your personal information.
Your information may be processed by trusted third-party services that help me operate my website and business. These currently include Squarespace, for website hosting and related website services, and Mailchimp, for newsletter subscriptions and email campaigns.
I may also disclose personal information where I am legally required to do so.
If I introduce additional services in the future that materially change how your information is processed, I will update this policy accordingly.
Under UK data-protection law, depending on the circumstances, you may have rights in relation to your personal information. These can include the right to access your information, correct inaccurate information, request deletion of information, restrict or object to certain uses of your information, request transfer of certain information and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the email address above.
If you have concerns about how your personal information has been handled, you also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
I take reasonable steps to protect the personal information I hold and use reputable third-party providers to support the operation of my website and business.
However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
I may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy from time to time, for example if the services I use change or relevant privacy requirements are updated.
The latest version will always be available on this page, with the date of the most recent update shown above.
