Privacy Policy
This is the privacy policy for jasonburns.co.uk, the website of Jason Burns (sole trader, England). It covers how the site handles personal data. Plain English, no padding.
What I collect
- Contact form submissions. If you fill in the contact form, I receive your name, email, the message, and the optional phone number, service and budget you select. The form sends me an email - nothing is shown publicly.
- Server logs. The web server records standard request data (IP address, page requested, timestamp, browser user agent) for technical reasons - debugging errors and blocking abuse. These are kept for 30 days then rotated out.
- A session cookie. A first-party session cookie is set so the contact form can do CSRF protection. It contains a random ID, expires when you close the browser, and is not used for tracking.
What I do not collect
- No analytics tracking. No Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, no pixel of any kind.
- No marketing or advertising cookies.
- No fingerprinting, no third-party trackers, no remarketing.
- No newsletter signups.
Why I have your data, and how long I keep it
If you submit the contact form, I keep the email you sent for as long as the conversation is useful - typically the lifetime of the work plus a year or two for tax records. After that I delete it. I do not pass it to anyone else. I do not use it for marketing.
Where it sits
The site runs on SiteGround (UK data centre). Email is hosted with the domain provider. No personal data is sent to any other third party.
Your rights under UK GDPR
You can ask me to:
- Show you what data I hold about you.
- Correct anything that is wrong.
- Delete it ("right to erasure").
- Stop using it for any purpose.
To do any of the above, email hello@jasonburns.co.uk. I will respond within one working day.
If you are not happy with how I handle your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
If anything material changes, I update this page and change the "last updated" date at the top. Older versions are not kept publicly - if you need the version that was in effect on a given date, ask me.
