Legal
Privacy Policy
Plain English, and short, because this site does very little with your data.
Last updated 13 September 2026
Who this applies to
This policy covers Farleigh Point, a trading name of a sole trader operating from the United Kingdom, and the website at https://farleighpoint.com. For questions about anything below, or to exercise any of the rights listed, email hello@farleighpoint.com.
For the purposes of the UK General Data Protection Regulation, Farleigh Point is the data controller for information submitted through this website.
What is collected
Information you send deliberately
When you complete the enquiry form or the website audit form, the fields you fill in are submitted. That is typically your name, business name, email address, phone number, website address and whatever you write in the message field. Nothing is collected that you do not type.
Technical information collected automatically
The hosting provider records standard server logs for security and reliability, which include IP addresses and browser information. These are retained by the host for a short period and are not used to build any profile of you.
If visitor analytics are in use on this site, they are a privacy friendly service that counts page views without cookies and without tracking individuals between websites. No advertising or cross site tracking scripts are used.
Cookies
This website sets no cookies of its own, and no consent banner is shown because there is nothing to consent to. Fonts are served from this website rather than from a third party font service, so loading a page does not hand your IP address to anyone else.
Why your information is used
- To reply to your enquiry and discuss the work you have asked about. The lawful basis is legitimate interests, or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.
- To carry out and deliver a website audit you have requested.
- To keep business records where there is a legal obligation to do so, such as tax records relating to work carried out.
Your details are not used to send marketing you did not ask for, and are never sold, rented or shared with anyone for their own marketing purposes.
Who else can see it
A small number of service providers process data on behalf of Farleigh Point in order for the site and the business to function:
- The website host, which receives and stores form submissions and keeps server logs.
- The email provider used to send and receive correspondence.
- Accounting and invoicing software, where you become a client.
Some of these providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where that happens, transfers are covered by the safeguards those providers have in place, such as standard contractual clauses.
How long it is kept
- Enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted within twelve months.
- Audit requests and the resulting reports are deleted within twelve months.
- Records relating to clients and completed work are kept for six years, as required for tax purposes.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to ask for a copy of the information held about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to restrict or object to how it is used, and to receive it in a portable format. To do any of these, email hello@farleighpoint.com and it will be dealt with within one month.
If you are not satisfied with the response, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
Security
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Form submissions are transmitted over that same encrypted connection and access to them is protected by two factor authentication. No system is perfect, but data is only ever collected where there is a reason to, which is the most effective protection available.
Links to other websites
The work gallery links to websites built for clients. Once you follow one of those links you are on a site governed by its own privacy policy, not this one.
Changes
If this policy changes, the revised version appears on this page with a new date at the top. Material changes affecting existing clients will be raised directly rather than left here to be discovered.
