Privacy
Plain English, like everything else here.
What we collect, why, and what happens to it. The short version: your details are used to reply to you, and for nothing else.
Who we are
Sitemotion is an independent web design studio based in Manchester, UK. For data protection purposes we are the controller of the information described here. This policy covers sitemotion.co.uk.
What we collect, and why
When you send a form, we receive what you typed and use it to review your site and reply. It is stored in our content system and is never added to a marketing list, shared or sold. Security rate limits store only a secret-keyed one-way identifier, counter and expiry; the raw network address is not saved in our content system.
Why we are allowed to
Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: you asked us to look at your site, and replying is the point of the form. We would ask first before using your details for anything else.
Cookies
This site sets no tracking or advertising cookies and runs no analytics scripts. The only cookie is strictly necessary for the private sign-in area and is not set for public visitors.
Where it lives
The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard access logs for security. Form submissions are stored with Sanity. Both act as processors on our behalf under contract and use legal safeguards for any processing outside the UK.
How long we keep it
Enquiries are kept while we deal with them and for as long as any project that follows. If nothing comes of an enquiry, we clear it within two years. Ask us to delete yours sooner and we will.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold, have it corrected or deleted, object to its use, restrict it, or ask for it in a portable form. Email the contact page and we will respond, normally within a few days and always within a month.
If you think we have got it wrong
Tell us first and we will put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
