WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
Personal information you disclose to us
In short: we collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us.
We collect personal information that you provide to us when you express interest in our services, get in touch through our contact form, or otherwise contact us. This may include your name, email address, and any messages you send us regarding our services. We do not process sensitive information. All personal information you provide must be accurate and complete, and you must let us know of any changes.
Information automatically collected
In short: some information, such as your IP address and browser and device characteristics, is collected automatically when you visit our Services.
We automatically collect certain technical information when you use our Services, including your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, and general location. This information does not reveal your specific identity and is used to maintain the security and operation of our website and for internal analytics. Like most websites, we also collect some information through cookies, described further in section 5.
HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In short: we process your information to provide and improve our Services, communicate with you, for security purposes, and to comply with the law.
We process your personal information to deliver the services you request, respond to your enquiries, send you administrative information about our services or changes to our policies, request feedback, protect our Services from fraud or misuse, and understand how our website is used so we can improve it.
WHAT LEGAL BASES DO WE RELY ON TO PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?
In short: we only process your personal information when we have a valid legal reason to do so, such as your consent, to perform a contract with you, or to meet a legitimate business interest.
If you are located in the UK or EU, this section applies to you. Under UK GDPR, we may rely on the following legal bases:
Consent: where you have given us permission to use your information for a specific purpose. You can withdraw consent at any time.
Performance of a contract: where processing is necessary to provide the services you have asked us for, such as building or maintaining your website.
Legitimate interests: where processing helps us run and improve our business, such as understanding how our website is used, provided this does not override your rights and interests.
Legal obligations: where we need to comply with the law, such as cooperating with a regulator or defending a legal claim.
WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
In short: we may share your information with the specific service providers listed below, and in a small number of other situations.
We work with a small number of trusted third-party service providers who help us run our business. These currently include Google Analytics, for website analytics, and Squarespace, for website hosting. We do not sell your personal information to anyone.
We may also share information if our business is sold, merged, or transferred to another company, in which case your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?
In short: we may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and store certain information.
We use cookies and similar technologies to help maintain the security of our Services, remember your preferences, and support basic site functions. We also permit Google Analytics to use tracking technologies for analytics purposes and, depending on your settings, to tailor advertising to your interests. Full details of the specific cookies we use, and how you can manage your preferences, are set out in our separate Cookie Policy.
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more on Google's privacy practices, see Google's Privacy & Terms page.
HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?
In short: we keep your information only as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this notice, and no longer than two years, unless the law requires otherwise.
We will only keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes in this notice, unless a longer period is required by law, for example for tax or accounting purposes. No purpose in this notice requires us to keep your information for longer than two years. When we no longer have a legitimate need to process your information, we will delete it or, where deletion isn't possible, securely store it and restrict further processing until deletion is possible.
HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?
In short: we use reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect your information.
We have put in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal information we process. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Any transmission of information to our Services is at your own risk.
DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?
In short: no, we do not knowingly collect data from children under eighteen.
We do not knowingly collect or market to children under eighteen. By using our Services, you confirm you are at least eighteen, or that you are a parent or guardian consenting to a minor's use of the Services.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us using the details in the "How Can You Contact Us" section below, and we will respond in accordance with applicable law.
If you are in the UK and believe we are processing your information unlawfully, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office. If you are in the EEA, you may complain to your relevant data protection authority.
Withdrawing your consent: where we rely on your consent to process your information, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us using the details below. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your withdrawal.
CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES
Most browsers include a Do Not Track feature. Because there is currently no uniform industry standard for recognising these signals, we do not currently respond to them. If a standard is adopted in future, we will update this notice accordingly.
DO UNITED STATES RESIDENTS HAVE SPECIFIC PRIVACY RIGHTS?
In short: residents of certain US states may have additional rights over how their personal information is used, in line with their state's privacy law.
If you are a resident of a US state with its own comprehensive privacy law, you may have rights including the right to know what personal information we hold about you, access it, correct inaccuracies, request its deletion, obtain a copy of it, and not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. You may also have the right to opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, or profiling, where applicable, though we do not sell personal information.
The categories of personal information we have collected in the past twelve months are as follows. We collect identifiers, such as your name and email address. We collect internet or network activity information, such as browsing behaviour on our site. We collect geolocation data limited to general device location. We do not collect other categories sometimes covered by these laws, such as protected classification characteristics, commercial or transaction information, biometric information, audio or visual recordings, professional or employment information, education information, or inferences drawn from your data.
We have not sold or shared personal information with third parties for a business or commercial purpose in the past twelve months. Any disclosures we do make are to the service providers named in section 4, under written agreements limiting their use of your information.
To exercise your rights under applicable US state law, please contact us at info|at|reganwebdesign.com. If you use an authorised agent to submit a request on your behalf, we may require proof of that authorisation before responding. If we decline to act on a request, you may appeal by emailing us at the same address, and if your appeal is declined, you may complain to your state attorney general.
California residents also have the right, under the Shine the Light law, to request information once a year about any personal information we have disclosed to third parties for direct marketing purposes. To make such a request, please contact us using the details in the "How Can You Contact Us" section below.
