What data we collect
When you submit a form on our website, we collect the information you provide, which may include your name, email address, phone number, company name, and any project details or messages you send us.

We also collect analytics data automatically through Google Analytics when you use our site, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and how you interact with the site.

How we use your data
We use your form submission data to respond to enquiries, provide our design services, communicate with you about projects, and manage our client relationships. We use analytics data to understand how visitors use our site and to improve it.

Legal basis for processing
Under UK GDPR, we process your data on the basis of: your consent (for analytics cookies); the performance of a contract (to deliver services you request); and our legitimate interests (to respond to enquiries and improve our services).

Cookies and analytics
Our site uses Google Analytics, which sets cookies to collect the analytics data described above. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics via Google's opt-out browser add-on. Google may process this data on servers outside the UK; see Google's own privacy policy for details.

Hosting
Our website is hosted by Squarespace. Data submitted through our site may be processed and stored on Squarespace's infrastructure. Squarespace acts as a data processor on our behalf.

Sharing your data
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate (such as Squarespace and Google), and where required by law.

Data retention
We keep your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described here, or as required by law, after which it is securely deleted.

Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, contact us at adam@adystudio.uk. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

International transfers
Some of our providers (e.g. Google, Squarespace) may transfer data outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
