Collected information

I only collect personal information where it is necessary to respond to enquiries, communicate with clients and prospective clients, or operate my business.

If you contact me through the website, I may collect information including:

  • your name;

  • your email address;

  • the company or organisation you work for, where provided;

  • any information you include in your message; and

  • subsequent correspondence relating to your enquiry or project.

How I use your information

Personal information submitted through the website may be used to:

  • respond to enquiries;

  • discuss potential projects or freelance work;

  • provide services you have requested;

  • communicate with existing or prospective clients;

  • maintain appropriate business and project records; and

  • comply with legal, accounting or regulatory requirements.

I will never sell your personal information.

Lawful basis for processing

Under UK data protection law, I need a lawful basis for processing personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, I generally rely on:

Legitimate interests: where it is necessary to respond to enquiries, communicate with clients and prospective clients, and operate and develop my business.

Contract: where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to provide services under an existing agreement.

Legal obligation: where information must be retained or processed to meet legal, tax, accounting or regulatory requirements.

Where consent is specifically required, I will ask for it separately.

Contact by email

The contact links on this website open your email application. This website does not collect enquiries through an online form.

If you send me an email, your email provider and mine process the message to deliver it. I use the information you choose to send to respond to your enquiry.

Please only include information that is necessary for your enquiry.

Website analytics

The static website code does not include visitor analytics or advertising tracking scripts.

The website is hosted by Cloudflare. Requests to load pages and assets are handled by the hosting provider, which may process technical request information to deliver and protect the service.

Information you provide by email is handled separately from the technical requests used to load this website.

Video playback

Portfolio videos are served as local website assets and played using your browser’s native video player.

Loading a video requests the video file from the same website hosting service as the page.

This version of the website does not embed a third-party video player.

Cookies

The website uses browser local storage to remember your light or dark theme preference. You can remove this preference by clearing site data in your browser.

The website code does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Linked services, such as Instagram and LinkedIn, have their own privacy and cookie policies when you visit them.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:

  • ask for a copy of the personal information I hold about you;

  • ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;

  • ask for your personal information to be deleted in certain circumstances;

  • ask me to restrict how your information is used;

  • object to certain uses of your information; and

  • ask for your information to be transferred where the right to data portability applies.

These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and the lawful basis under which information is being processed.

If processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please email nick@nickcarter.uk.com.
