Privacy policy

Last updated 27 October 2026.

This explains what happens to the details you send me through carneydigital.co.uk. In short: I use them to reply to you, and nothing else.

Who I am

I'm Corey, a sole trader trading as Carney Digital, based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. I'm the data controller for the details you send me. You can reach me at corey@carneydigital.co.uk or on 07596 356834.

What I collect

When you use the enquiry form, I receive what you type into it:

  • your name and email address
  • your phone number, if you give it
  • your business and trade, if you give them
  • what you're looking for, and any message you write

If you email, call or message me on WhatsApp instead, I receive whatever you send, plus your email address or phone number.

Why I use it, and the legal basis

I use your details to reply to your enquiry and, if you go ahead, to quote for and do the work. The legal basis is that you asked me to get in touch, and that I need your details to take steps towards a contract with you (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)), or otherwise my legitimate interest in answering people who contact my business (Article 6(1)(f)). I don't use your details for marketing, and I don't sell or share them for anyone else's marketing.

Who else handles it

I use a few services to run the site. They handle your details only to provide that service:

  • My follow-up app (app.carneydigital.co.uk) stores your enquiry, emails you a confirmation and me an alert, and sends you one reminder the next working day if I haven't replied. It runs on Vercel and Supabase.
  • Resend sends those emails. If the follow-up app is unavailable, it emails your enquiry straight to me instead.
  • My email provider stores the messages I receive and send.
  • Vercel hosts this website. It also provides visitor statistics that don't use cookies and don't identify you personally.
  • WhatsApp, if you message me there, under its own privacy policy.

Some of these providers are based in or process data in the United States. Where that happens, they rely on safeguards the UK allows, such as the UK's data bridge with the US or standard contractual clauses.

Cookies

This site doesn't set cookies, so there's no cookie banner.

How long I keep it

If we don't end up working together, I delete your enquiry after 12 months. If you become a customer, I keep what I need for my accounts and to look after your site for as long as the law requires and for as long as we work together.

Your rights

You can ask me to see the details I hold about you, correct them, delete them, or stop using them. Email corey@carneydigital.co.uk and I'll reply within a month. If you're unhappy with how I've handled your details, you can complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk, though I'd like the chance to put it right first.

Changes

If this changes, I'll update the date at the top of the page.
