Privacy policy

Who we are

This website is operated by Ownly (“we”, “us”). The site is available at ownlydigital.co.uk.

What this policy covers

This policy describes how we collect and use personal information when you browse this site or use the project inquiry form. It does not cover work we do for clients under separate contracts.

Information we collect

• Project inquiries. If you submit the project form, we collect the details you enter (for example name, email, organisation, what you need built, goals and context, optional project shape, timeline, and budget band). We may also receive technical metadata with your submission (such as timestamps) depending on how the form is delivered to us.
• Website hosting. Our hosting provider may process technical data automatically (for example IP address, browser type, and request logs) to run and secure the service.

How we use your information

• To respond to project inquiries and follow up with you.
• To operate, secure, and improve the website.
• To meet legal obligations where applicable.

Lawful bases (UK / EEA)

Where UK or EEA data protection law applies, we rely on legitimate interests (responding to enquiries, running our business, and securing our site) and, where needed, contract steps at your request before a contract. Where consent is required for a specific activity, we will ask for it separately.

Retention

We keep inquiry information for as long as needed to respond, manage the relationship, and meet legal or professional requirements, then delete or anonymise it when no longer needed.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers who help us run the site or receive inquiries (for example hosting, email, or automation tools you configure), only as needed for those services.

International transfers

If you are in the UK or EEA, your information may be processed in countries without an adequacy decision. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal data, and to object or port data. You may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

Cookies

This site is designed to work without non-essential tracking cookies. Your browser may still store essential cookies or local data required for basic functionality and security.
