The Little Website Company respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have in relation to your personal information.

1. Who we are

The Little Website Company provides website design, hosting, maintenance and website support services for small businesses.

Website: thelittlewebsitecompany.co.uk

Email: chadbradshaw11@gmail.com

For the purposes of UK data protection law, The Little Website Company is responsible for deciding how and why personal information submitted through this website is used.

2. Information we collect

We may collect personal information when you contact us or submit an enquiry through the website.

This may include:

  • Your name
  • Business name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Information about your business
  • Details about the website or services you are interested in
  • Any other information you include in your enquiry

We may also collect limited technical information relating to the operation and security of the website, such as IP addresses, browser information and server logs.

If website analytics are enabled, we may also collect information about how visitors use the website. Where consent is required for analytics cookies or similar technologies, these will only be used in accordance with your cookie preferences.

3. How we use your information

We may use your personal information to:

  • Respond to enquiries
  • Discuss your website requirements
  • Prepare quotations or proposals
  • Provide services you have requested
  • Communicate with you about an existing or potential project
  • Manage our business relationship with you
  • Maintain the security and proper operation of our website
  • Comply with legal, regulatory or accounting obligations

We will not sell your personal information.

4. Our lawful basis for using your information

We only use personal information where we have an appropriate lawful basis.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Legitimate interests — for example, responding to genuine business enquiries, operating and securing our website, and managing normal business communications where these activities have a limited impact on your privacy.

Contract or steps before entering into a contract — where you ask us to provide a quotation, discuss a project or provide website services.

Legal obligation — where we need to retain or disclose information to comply with legal, tax or regulatory requirements.

Consent — where required, for example for certain optional cookies or analytics technologies.

UK data protection law requires organisations to identify and document the appropriate lawful basis for each use of personal information. ICO

5. Contact forms

When you submit a contact form through this website, the information you provide is used to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, discuss potential services.

Submitting an enquiry does not automatically add you to a marketing mailing list.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the contact form unless it is genuinely necessary for your enquiry.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Some are necessary for the website to function correctly. Others, such as analytics technologies, may be optional and will only be used where permitted and in accordance with your cookie preferences.

You can find more information in our Cookie Policy and can change your preferences using the Manage Cookie Preferences option on the website.

7. Website analytics

We may use website analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how visitors use the website and help improve its performance.

Analytics information may include pages visited, approximate location, device type, browser information and how visitors interact with the website.

Where analytics technologies require consent, they will not be activated until the appropriate consent has been provided through our cookie banner.

8. Who we may share information with

We may use trusted third-party service providers to operate our website and business.

These may include:

  • Website hosting providers
  • Email providers
  • Website form and security services
  • Website maintenance and technical service providers
  • Analytics providers, where enabled
  • Professional advisers such as accountants where necessary

These organisations may process personal information on our behalf where required to provide their services.

We only share information where necessary and do not sell personal information to third parties.

9. International transfers

Some service providers we use may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where personal information is transferred internationally, we will take appropriate steps to ensure that suitable safeguards are in place where required by data protection law.

10. How long we keep your information

We only keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

General enquiries that do not become client projects will normally be retained for 24 months after our last communication, unless there is a reason to keep the information for longer.

Information relating to clients, contracts, invoices and financial records may be retained for longer where necessary to comply with legal, tax or accounting requirements.

The ICO requires privacy information to explain either the retention period or the criteria used to determine it. ICO

11. How we protect your information

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

These measures may include secure website hosting, HTTPS encryption, website security controls, access restrictions and keeping website software up to date.

No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Your data protection rights

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

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances
  • Ask us to restrict how we use your information
  • Object to certain uses of your information
  • Request transfer of your information in certain circumstances
  • Withdraw consent where we rely on consent

Not every right applies in every situation, and the rights available can depend on the lawful basis used for processing. ICO

To exercise any of these rights, contact:

13. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we use your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.

You also have the right to raise a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

Information Commissioner’s Office

The ICO recommends that UK organisations tell individuals about their right to complain to the ICO and provide the relevant contact route. ICO
