6. Our lawful bases for processing

UK data protection law requires us to have a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we rely on one or more of the following.

Contract

We may process information where it is necessary to:

  • provide a quotation you have requested;
  • take steps before entering into a contract;
  • provide services under an agreed contract;
  • administer your project; or

  • preventing fraud and spam;

Consent

Where the law requires consent, such as for certain analytics, advertising or marketing technologies, we will ask for your consent.

You can withdraw consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing which occurred lawfully before consent was withdrawn.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files or pieces of information stored on your device when you visit a website.

We may use the following types of cookies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are required for essential website functionality, security or operation.

They may include cookies used for:

  • security;
  • session management;
  • fraud prevention;
  • form functionality;
  • cookie preference storage; and
  • website administration.

Where legally permitted, strictly necessary cookies do not require prior consent.

Analytics cookies

Where enabled and where you have consented, we may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website.

Analytics information may include pages visited, approximate location, device information, visit duration and interactions with the website.

Functional cookies

These may enable optional website functionality or remember preferences.

Third-party cookies

Some third-party services integrated into our website may place their own cookies or use similar technologies.

We will not intentionally activate non-essential cookies before obtaining consent where consent is required by law.

You can change your cookie preferences using the cookie controls provided on our website or through your browser settings.

Disabling some cookies may affect certain website functions.

8. Google services

We may use Google services in connection with our website, including services configured through Google Site Kit.

Depending on which services are enabled, these may include:

  • Google Analytics;
  • Google Search Console;
  • Google PageSpeed Insights; and
  • other Google website tools.

Google Search Console and PageSpeed data may be used for website administration and performance purposes.

Where Google Analytics or another service stores or accesses information on your device for non-essential purposes, it will only be activated where the appropriate consent has been obtained.

Google processes information in accordance with its own privacy terms and policies.

9. Hosting and server logs

Our website and client websites may be operated using third-party website hosting providers.

Hosting infrastructure may automatically generate technical logs containing information such as:

  • security events.

These records may be retained for security, troubleshooting, server management and fraud-prevention purposes.

When Webb Design works on a client’s website, we may occasionally have technical access to information stored within that website.

Depending on the website, this could include:

  • customer information;
  • website-user accounts;
  • contact-form submissions;
  • WooCommerce orders;
  • email addresses; or
  • other personal information controlled by the client.

We will only access such information where reasonably necessary to perform the services requested.

Where Webb Design processes personal information on behalf of a client, we will process that information in accordance with the client’s instructions and applicable data protection law.

Clients remain responsible for ensuring that their own websites, privacy notices, cookie mechanisms and business activities meet their own legal obligations unless Webb Design has expressly agreed in writing to provide specific compliance services.

11. Payment information

Where you pay Webb Design for services, payment information may be processed by banks, payment processors, invoicing providers or other financial services providers.

We do not intentionally store complete payment-card details ourselves unless specifically required and lawfully permitted.

We may retain information relating to payments, invoices and transactions for accounting, taxation, contractual and legal purposes.

  • email providers;
  • cloud storage providers;
  • website security providers;
  • analytics providers;
  • payment processors;
  • banks;
  • accountants or bookkeepers;
  • professional advisers;
  • contractors or subcontractors assisting with an agreed project;
  • software and technology providers;
  • law enforcement or regulatory authorities where legally required; and
  • potential purchasers or advisers in connection with a legitimate sale or restructuring of the business.

Where another organisation processes personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate protections are in place.

13. International transfers

Some technology providers used by Webb Design may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is made using a lawful mechanism recognised under UK data protection law, where required.

This may include transfers to countries recognised as providing an adequate level of protection or transfers covered by appropriate contractual safeguards.

14. How long we keep your information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and to meet legal, accounting, contractual or regulatory obligations.

Typical retention periods may include:

General enquiries: normally up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless there is a reason to retain the correspondence for longer.

Unsuccessful quotations: normally up to 24 months.

Client and project records: normally for the duration of the client relationship and for up to 6 years afterwards where reasonably necessary for contractual, taxation or legal purposes.

Invoices and accounting records: normally at least 6 years or for any other period required by applicable tax or accounting law.

Server and security logs: normally retained for a substantially shorter period unless required to investigate security incidents or legal matters.

Marketing information: until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent or we determine that the information is no longer required.

These periods are guidelines and may vary where there is a legal or legitimate reason to retain information for longer or delete it sooner.

15. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against:

  • unauthorised access;
  • alteration;
  • disclosure;
  • accidental loss;
  • destruction; and
  • misuse.

Measures may include access controls, secure passwords, software updates, security tools, encryption where appropriate and restricted administrative access.

No internet-based service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted electronically.

16. Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights including:

Right of access

You may ask us for a copy of personal information we hold about you.

Right to rectification

You may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.

Right to erasure

In certain circumstances you may ask us to delete personal information.

Right to data portability

In certain circumstances, you may ask us to transfer information you supplied to us to you or another organisation in a commonly used format.

Right to withdraw consent

Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

These rights are subject to legal conditions and exemptions and do not apply in every circumstance.

We will not normally charge a fee for exercising your data protection rights.

17. Marketing

We may send existing or prospective customers information about our services where permitted by law.

Where consent is required, we will obtain it before sending marketing.

We may still contact clients about active projects, invoices, security issues, hosting, maintenance or other service-related matters even if they have opted out of marketing.

Our services are primarily intended for businesses and adults.

We do not knowingly use our website to collect personal information from children for marketing purposes.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us.
