Privacy Policy

Last updated:

Note for whoever's setting this up: this is a plain-language starting point covering what this system actually collects and does, not certified legal advice. Replace [BUSINESS NAME], [CONTACT EMAIL], and [COMPANY ADDRESS] below with your real details, and have it reviewed by a solicitor (or a UK-specific policy generator) before relying on it — data protection law applies to you the moment this form collects a real person's details.

This policy explains what information is collected when you browse this website's design gallery or submit your details, why it's collected, and what your rights are. It's written by [BUSINESS NAME], who is the data controller for the information described here.

What we collect when you submit your details

When you fill in the form to have your website set up, we collect:

Your business name, contact email, and contact phone number
Which design and variant you've chosen
The domain name you'd like, if you've asked us to register one
Confirmation that a PayPal subscription was set up for any add-ons you chose (we receive a subscription reference from PayPal, never your card or bank details — PayPal handles payment directly and has its own privacy policy)

We use this to build and set up your website, get in touch about it, and manage any add-ons you've paid for. We keep it for as long as we're providing your website or add-ons, and for a reasonable period afterwards in case of a dispute or for our own accounting records.

What we collect just from browsing the gallery

When you browse the public design gallery, we automatically record:

Which page you're on and which specific designs you view, try live, or choose
What page referred you here (e.g. an eBay listing), if any
A rough location (country and sometimes city), worked out from your connection at the time — we don't store your actual IP address long-term
How long you spend on the page

We don't use cookies for this, don't track you across other websites, and don't share this with any advertising network. Each browsing session gets a temporary, disposable reference number that only exists to tie together what happened during that one visit — it isn't linked to you personally unless you go on to submit the form. This data is kept for 90 days and then automatically deleted.

Who we share information with

We don't sell or rent your information to anyone. The only third party involved is PayPal, who processes payment for any add-ons you choose — they receive whatever information is needed to set up and bill a subscription, governed by their own privacy policy linked above.

Where your information is stored

Your details are stored securely on our own systems — not on a third-party cloud analytics platform or shared with data brokers.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you can ask us to:

Show you what information we hold about you
Correct anything that's inaccurate
Delete your information, where we're not required to keep it for a legitimate business or legal reason

To do any of this, get in touch at [CONTACT EMAIL]. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

Changes to this policy

If what we collect or how we use it changes, we'll update this page. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
