Privacy

What we collect, why, and how long we keep it — in plain English, not legal boilerplate. If anything here isn't clear, email ben@brignell.uk and ask.

No cookies

This site doesn't use cookies, and doesn't track you across other sites. The analytics we use (Fathom) works without them — it counts visits and pages in aggregate, not individual people.

The contact form

Filling in the contact form sends your name, your email or site address, and your message straight to us — not through a mail client, a real submission. We keep it for as long as we reasonably need to, to respond and keep a record of the enquiry. Ordinary email/enquiry retention, not the automatic deletion the audit tool below has.

There's a separate, unticked checkbox on that form ("Keep me posted") if you'd also like to join our mailing list through Kit — nothing gets added unless you tick it yourself, and you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email we send. The same opt-in is also available on its own in the footer of every page.

Want to see what we hold on you, or have it deleted before the automatic period above? Email ben@brignell.uk — a real person reads it, and we'll sort it out directly rather than making you fill in a form.
