Privacy Notice
This privacy notice explains how I collect, use, and protect personal data through this website. I operate as an individual sole trader.
Who I am
This website is operated by Ksenia Ponomarenko. If you have any questions about this notice or how your data is handled, you can contact me at [email protected].
What personal data I collect
When you use the contact form, I may collect:
- your name
- your email address
- the message or project details you choose to send
I also use Cloudflare Turnstile as an anti-spam and security measure when the form is submitted.
Why I collect it
I use this information to:
- respond to enquiries
- discuss potential work or collaborations
- protect the site and form from spam or abuse
Lawful basis
My lawful basis for processing enquiry data is legitimate interests: responding to genuine business enquiries and managing communication related to my services. If a conversation develops into client work, I may also process data as part of taking steps before entering into a contract.
How long I keep enquiry data
I keep enquiry submissions for up to 12 months unless there is a continuing client relationship or a legal reason to keep relevant records for longer.
Who processes data on my behalf
This website uses third-party providers to help it function securely:
- Cloudflare for website hosting, security, the contact form worker, and Turnstile verification
- Google Gmail for receiving and storing enquiry emails
These services may process technical data as part of delivering the site and contact form securely.
International transfers
Some service providers I use may process data outside the UK. Where that happens, I rely on the provider’s appropriate safeguards and standard protections for personal data.
Your rights
Depending on your situation, you may have rights to:
- request access to your personal data
- ask for inaccurate data to be corrected
- ask for data to be deleted
- object to certain processing
- request restriction of processing
- make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please email [email protected].
Updates
I may update this privacy notice from time to time if the website, services, or legal requirements change.
