Privacy policy

Last updated: 16 August 2026

Who this policy covers

This policy explains how Ollie Smith Web (“I”, “me”, “Ollie Smith”) handles personal information when you use www.olliesmithweb.co.uk or contact me about website design, hosting, IT help or Local SEO.

Controller: Oliver Smith trading as Ollie Smith Web
Address: Mulberry Park, Bath BA2 5BH, United Kingdom
Email: hello@olliesmithweb.co.uk

What I collect

  • Contact enquiries: name, email address, message content, and any business details you choose to send via the contact form or email.
  • Technical data: basic server or hosting logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) that may be created when you visit the site.
  • Cookie preferences: your cookie consent choice, stored on your device so the banner does not keep asking. See the cookies policy.

I do not sell your personal data.

Why I use it

  • To reply to enquiries and provide quotes or services you request
  • To run and secure the website
  • To remember cookie preferences
  • If you allow analytics cookies, to understand how the site is used so it can be improved (optional)

Legal bases under UK GDPR typically include: steps before a contract or providing a service you ask for; legitimate interests in running a small business website securely; and consent where you opt in to optional cookies.

Who I share it with

Enquiry form messages are processed through Web3Forms so they can be delivered to my email. Hosting providers (for example GitHub Pages) process technical requests needed to serve the site. These providers act as processors or service providers and should only use data to deliver their service.

How long I keep it

Enquiry emails and related notes are kept as long as needed to handle your request and for normal business record-keeping, then deleted or archived when no longer required. Server logs are retained only as long as the host keeps them for security and operations.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask to access, correct, delete or restrict personal data I hold about you, and object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time (for example by changing cookie settings). You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

To exercise your rights, email hello@olliesmithweb.co.uk.
