Privacy notice

Last updated: 22 October 2026

Who we are

This website is run by Charlie Bolger, trading as CLB Web Design, based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. As a sole trader, Charlie is the "data controller" for any personal information you send through this site, which means we're responsible for looking after it under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).

You can contact us about privacy at c.l.b.webdesigners@gmail.com.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not set any cookies, and it doesn't use analytics, advertising or social media trackers. It doesn't load fonts, images or scripts from other companies either. That's why there's no cookie banner. The only time your browser talks to another company is when you send the contact form, which goes straight to our form provider, Formspree (see below).

What information we collect

We only collect what you choose to send us, when you use the contact form or email or phone us:

• your name
• your email address and, if you give it, your phone number
• anything you tell us about your business or project in your message

Like almost every website, the company that hosts this site (Cloudflare) may automatically record basic technical information (such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested) in server logs, to keep the site secure and working.

Why we use it, and the legal basis

• To reply to your enquiry and give you a quote. Legal basis: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, or our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us.
• To do the work, if you become a client. Legal basis: performing our contract.
• To keep business and tax records. Legal basis: legal obligation.

We won't add you to a mailing list or send you marketing without asking first.

Who we share it with

We don't sell or rent your information. We only share it with services we use to run the business, who handle it on our behalf:

• our form provider, Formspree, Inc. (based in the USA), which receives contact form submissions and emails them to us
• our website host, Cloudflare, Inc. (based in the USA), which serves this website and may process basic technical data such as IP addresses to deliver it and keep it secure
• our email provider: Google (Gmail)

Formspree and Cloudflare are based in the USA, so your information may be transferred to and stored outside the UK. Where that happens, they use safeguards recognised under UK data protection law.

How long we keep it

If you get in touch but don't go ahead, we'll delete your enquiry within 12 months. If you become a client, we keep project and invoice records for as long as needed for tax purposes (usually six years after the end of the tax year they relate to).

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
• ask us to correct anything that's wrong
• ask us to delete your information
• object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
• ask for your information in a portable format

Just email us and we'll respond within one month. There's no charge.

Complaints

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this notice

If we change how we use personal information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
