Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 October 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Seasidesign. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how and why we use it, who we may share it with, how long we keep it and your rights under UK data protection law.
2. Who We Are
Seasidesign is responsible for the personal information collected through this website and when providing our services.
You can contact us at:
Email: design@seasidesign.co.uk
Phone: +44 1243 300 469
3. Information We May Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
Contact information such as your name, email address, telephone number and the information you provide in an enquiry.
Client information needed to discuss, quote for, provide and support web design or related services.
Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information and basic server or security logs.
Website usage information where analytics or similar technologies are enabled and you have provided any consent required.
4. How We Collect Information
We may collect information when you:
contact us through the website, email or telephone; request a quotation or engage our services; provide information during a website project; or use our website.
Some technical information may also be collected automatically by our website, hosting provider, security tools and, where enabled with the appropriate consent, analytics services.
5. How We Use Your Information
We may use personal information to:
- respond to enquiries and provide quotations;
- provide and manage web design and related services;
- communicate with clients about projects, support and administration;
- maintain the security and operation of our website;
- comply with accounting, tax and legal obligations;
- improve our website and services using appropriate analytics where enabled; and
- send marketing communications only where permitted by law and, where required, with your consent.
6. Lawful Bases for Processing
Depending on why we are using your information, we may rely on:
Contract — where processing is necessary to provide services you have requested or to take steps before entering into a contract.
Legitimate interests — where reasonably necessary to operate and protect our business, respond to enquiries and provide an effective service, provided those interests do not override your rights.
Consent — where you have actively agreed to a particular use, such as certain non-essential cookies or marketing communications where consent is required.
Legal obligation — where we need to retain or disclose information to comply with the law.
7. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information where necessary with trusted organisations that help us operate our business, such as website hosting providers, email or form providers, website software and security providers, analytics providers where enabled, professional advisers such as accountants, and government or regulatory authorities where required by law.
We only share information where there is a legitimate reason to do so.
8. International Data Transfers
Some of the technology providers we use may process information outside the United Kingdom.
Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that the transfer complies with UK data protection law, which may include relying on UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against accidental loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Enquiries that do not become client projects will normally be retained only while they remain relevant.
Client, contractual, invoice and accounting records may be retained for longer where necessary for tax, accounting, contractual or legal purposes.
Information collected through analytics or cookies is retained according to the settings and retention periods of the relevant service.
11. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on the circumstances and lawful basis involved, you may have rights including access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, data portability and withdrawal of consent where processing relies on consent.
These rights are not absolute in every circumstance.
To exercise your rights, contact:
You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with how your personal information has been handled.
12. Cookies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies.
Strictly necessary cookies may be used where required for the website to function. Non-essential cookies, such as analytics or tracking cookies, will only be used where the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Further details should be provided in our separate Cookie Policy.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, website technology or legal requirements change.
The latest version will always be published on this page with the date of the most recent update.
