Privacy & Cookie Policy

Plain English, no legal jargon—exactly how I'd explain it to a client. Here's what data this website handles, why, and what your rights are.

Last updated: 28 July 2026

Who I am

This website, davidharris.uk, is run by David Harris, a UK-based web designer and WordPress specialist. If you have any questions about this policy or your data, email me at hello@davidharris.uk or call +44 (0) 7840 502 509.

What information I collect, and why

The contact form. When you send a message through my contact form, you provide your name, email address, and optionally your phone number, company name, budget range and project details. The form is delivered by Formspree, a form-handling service, which passes your message to my email. I use this information solely to respond to your enquiry and discuss your project. I never sell it or share it for marketing.

The chatbot. The chat widget in the corner of the site is provided by Chatbase. It sets an anonymous identifier cookie so a conversation can be remembered during your visit, and anything you type in the chat is processed by Chatbase to generate answers. Don't type sensitive personal information into the chatbot—use the contact form or email instead.

Booking a call. If you book a discovery call, scheduling is handled by Calendly on their website, under their own privacy policy.

Embedded videos. Some pages or blog posts may include embedded YouTube videos. When you play one, YouTube (Google) may set cookies and collect viewing data under Google's privacy policy. Where possible I use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, which delays this until you actually press play.

Server logs. Like virtually every website, my hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and troubleshooting. These are routine, kept briefly, and not used to identify or profile visitors.

Cookies this site uses

Cookie Set by Purpose
chatbase_anon_id Chatbase (chat widget) An anonymous ID so the chatbot can keep track of a conversation. It doesn't identify you personally.
YouTube cookies YouTube / Google Only if a page contains an embedded video and you play it. Used by YouTube for playback settings and analytics.

That's it. This site sets no advertising cookies and runs no tracking or analytics scripts of its own. You can block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings—the site will work fine without them, though the chatbot may not remember your conversation.

How long I keep your data

Contact form messages stay in my email for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any project that follows. If you never become a client, I'll delete your details on request or during periodic clear-outs.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR), you can ask me at any time to:

Just email hello@davidharris.uk. If you're unhappy with how I've handled your data, you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Changes to this policy

If I add new tools or services to the site that affect your privacy, I'll update this page and change the date at the top.
