Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This website is operated by Chris Thomas.

I take your privacy seriously and only collect personal information where there is a sensible reason to do so.


What information I collect

If you contact me through this website, by email or by telephone, I may collect information such as your name, email address, telephone number, company or organisation name, and anything else you choose to include in your message.

The website may also collect limited technical information such as your browser type, device type, IP address and information about how you use the site.


How I use your information

I may use your information to respond to enquiries, communicate with you about potential or existing work, provide services, maintain business records, improve this website, and meet any legal or regulatory obligations.

I won’t sell your personal information.


Lawful basis for processing

Depending on why you have contacted me, I will normally process your information because it is necessary to respond to your enquiry or take steps towards providing a service, because it is necessary for the performance of a contract, or because I have a legitimate business interest in communicating with you and running my business.

Where consent is required, for example for certain non-essential cookies or marketing communications, I will rely on your consent.


How long I keep information

I only keep personal information for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, or where I am required to retain it for legal, accounting or regulatory reasons.

General enquiries that do not lead to any ongoing business relationship will not normally be kept indefinitely.


Who I share information with

I may use trusted third-party services to operate this website and my business, including website hosting, email, analytics and other technology providers.

These organisations may process information on my behalf where necessary to provide their services.

The website is currently hosted using GoDaddy.

I will not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes unless you have specifically agreed to this.


Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work correctly, remember preferences, understand how the website is being used and improve its performance.

Some cookies are essential for the website to function. Other cookies, such as analytics cookies, may require your consent before they are used.

You can manage your choices using the cookie controls provided on the website and through your browser settings.

The ICO requires websites to provide clear information about cookies and to obtain appropriate consent before setting cookies that are not strictly necessary.


Contact Forms

If you submit information through a contact form, the details you provide will be used to respond to your enquiry.

Privacy information should be made available at the point personal information is collected, so this Privacy Policy should be linked somewhere close to the contact form as well as from the site footer. 


Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the right to ask for a copy of the information held about you, ask for inaccurate information to be corrected, request deletion in certain circumstances, object to certain types of processing, restrict how information is used, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you are unhappy with how your information has been handled.


Links to other websites

This website may contain links to external websites, including social media platforms, publications, YouTube and other third-party services.

I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites, so you should review their own privacy policies where appropriate.


Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, the services I use or applicable law.

The latest version will always be published on this page.
