Privacy Policy — Kate Ann Joy

This policy explains how Kate Ann Joy ("I", "me") handles personal information collected through kateannjoy.com.

What I collect

Enquiry and contact forms. When you send an enquiry I receive the details you enter: your name, email address, and the information you choose to include about your project or message.
Server logs. Like most websites, the hosting server briefly records technical information such as IP addresses to keep the site secure and working.

I do not use analytics, advertising trackers, or social media tracking pixels.

How I use it

Information you send is used only to reply to you and, where relevant, to prepare a proposal or arrange a commission. The lawful basis is my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Where it is stored

Enquiries are stored securely in this website's database and may also be forwarded to my business email account. They are not sold or shared with third parties for marketing.

How long I keep it

Enquiries are kept only as long as needed to respond and for related business record-keeping, and are then deleted. Information relating to commissioned work is kept for as long as needed for business and legal records.

Cookies

This site uses only strictly necessary cookies: one that protects forms against misuse, and one that keeps the site administrator signed in. No consent banner is needed because no optional cookies are used.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to see, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you, or object to how it is used. To do so, contact me using the details on the Contact page. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
