PLNT Design Ltd is the data controller for the personal information described below.

Information I collect

I may collect:

your name, email address and telephone number;
business name, trade, services and areas covered;
postcode and business location;
domain, logo, photographs and website content;
Google Business Profile and accreditation information;
information you provide in enquiries, free preview requests and onboarding forms;
payment and subscription information, excluding full card details; and
technical information such as IP address, browser, device, pages visited and website interactions.

I may also obtain publicly available business contact information from sources such as Google Business Profiles, business websites, social media, Companies House and business directories.

How I use your information

I use personal information to:

respond to enquiries and provide free website previews;
build, host, maintain and support customer websites;
process subscriptions and payments;
communicate with customers and prospective customers;
operate, secure and improve this website;
measure website usage and advertising performance;
maintain accounting and business records; and
comply with legal obligations.

My lawful bases for processing are contract, legal obligation, legitimate interests and, where required, consent.

Where I rely on legitimate interests, these include operating and developing my business, responding to enquiries, securing my systems and identifying businesses that may reasonably be interested in my services.

Business prospecting and marketing

I may use publicly available business information to identify and contact prospective UK business customers.

Where personal information is involved, I normally rely on legitimate interests under UK data protection law. I also comply with the separate rules governing electronic marketing.

You can object to direct marketing at any time.

If you ask not to be contacted, I may retain your contact details on a suppression list so that your preference continues to be respected.

Forms and email

Website forms are provided using WordPress and Gravity Forms. Submissions are stored in the website database and sent to me by email.

Email services are provided by MXRoute. I may also use Brevo for email communications.

Payments

Payments and subscriptions are processed by Stripe.

Payment details are entered directly into Stripe’s systems. I do not receive or store your full card number.

Cookies, analytics and advertising

This website uses necessary cookies and, with your consent, optional analytics and advertising technologies.

These may include:

Google Analytics;
Google Ads conversion tracking;
Google Tag Manager;
Google Site Kit; and
Microsoft Clarity.

These services may collect information about your device, browser and interaction with the website.

Optional statistics and advertising technologies are not activated until the appropriate consent has been given.

You can accept, reject or change your preferences using the cookie controls on the website.

Google Search Console is also used to monitor the site’s visibility and technical performance in Google Search.

Hosting and other service providers

I use third-party providers including:

DigitalOcean for hosting infrastructure;
RunCloud for server management;
Cloudflare for DNS, performance and security;
Google for analytics, advertising and related services;
Microsoft for Clarity analytics;
Stripe for payments;
MXRoute for email; and
Brevo for email communications.

I do not sell personal information.

Information may also be disclosed where required by law or to professional advisers where reasonably necessary.

International transfers

Some providers may process information outside the UK.

Where UK data protection law treats this as a restricted international transfer, appropriate safeguards are used, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual transfer mechanisms.

How long I keep information

I normally retain:

enquiries and free preview requests for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact;
prospecting information for up to 12 months after the last relevant activity;
customer information for the duration of the service and, where necessary, for up to six years afterwards;
financial records for at least the period required by tax and accounting law; and
suppression records for as long as reasonably necessary to ensure marketing preferences are respected.

Technical and analytics data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for its purpose.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to:

access your personal information;
correct inaccurate information;
request deletion;
restrict or object to processing;
receive certain information in a portable format; and
withdraw consent.

You have an absolute right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing.

To exercise your rights, contact [email protected].

Security

I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how your information has been handled, contact me using the details above.

I will acknowledge a data protection complaint within 30 days and investigate it without undue delay.

You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy when my services, suppliers, data practices or legal obligations change. The latest version will always be published on this website.
