Privacy policy
This website is run by Matt Andrews, an independent designer based in the UK. This page explains what information the site collects and how it is used.
The contact form
When you send a message, the form collects your name, email address, subject and message. These are emailed to me so I can reply, and you’re sent a confirmation email. Your message is not stored on the website.
I use your details only to reply to your enquiry and for any work that follows from it. I never sell or share them for marketing. Emails are kept only as long as needed for that conversation and my business records.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored on your device by the websites you visit. This site keeps their use to a minimum:
- Essential cookie – the contact form sets one cookie (
ma_contact) to protect it from misuse. It contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser. Because it is strictly necessary, it doesn’t need your consent. - Your cookie choice – the site remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so you aren’t asked on every page. This is stored in your browser for 12 months.
- Google Analytics (only if you accept) – helps me understand how people use the site, such as which pages are visited, for how long, the type of device and browser, and the approximate location (town or region). This information is collected by Google and isn’t used to identify you personally. The analytics cookies (named
_gaand_ga_…) are only set if you click “Accept” on the cookie banner, and last up to two years. Google keeps the data for up to 14 months. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
There are no advertising cookies. You can change your mind about analytics cookies at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although the contact form may then not work.
Spam protection
To stop automated spam, the site keeps short-lived counters of how often messages are sent. Your IP address and email address are scrambled (hashed) first, so the original values aren’t stored, and the counters are deleted within an hour.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete any information I hold about you by emailing hello@mattandrews.co.uk. If you’re unhappy with how your data has been handled, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
