Who I am

Freehold is a trading name of Alfie Wedlake, based in Stony Stratford, Milton Keynes. I’m responsible for the details you send through this website.

What I keep

When you send an enquiry, I get what you type in: your name, your business name if you give it, your phone number or email, what you need and your message. I can also see which page you sent it from. If you plan your website in the chat, I also get your answers and the estimate it worked out.

If you become a client, your account keeps your name, the email addresses you sign in with, your business name and your project’s progress, updates and handover checklist. It also keeps what you send through it (your logo, photos and words for your site, and any changes you ask for) and, when you sign your agreement, the name you typed, the time, and the internet address you signed from, as a record that you signed. Photos are made smaller on your phone before they’re sent, which also removes their location data. Signing in uses a one-time link emailed to you, so no password is ever kept, and the portal never holds your passwords for anything else either.

If you sent a design from See your site, a tool this website used to offer, I also got everything in it: your business name, the look and colour you picked, your prices, opening hours, address, the phone number and Instagram you want on your site, and the logo and photos you added.

Why

To reply to you and, if you decide to go ahead, to quote for and build your website. The law allows this because you’ve asked me to get in touch about a service.

Where it’s stored

Enquiries are stored by Netlify, the company that hosts this website, and emailed to me. If you gave an email address, you get an automatic copy of what you sent.

If I build a draft website for you, the details of your business, but not your name or contact details, are kept in GitHub, where I build websites. The photos you send stay in Netlify and my email, and go on your draft site if you’d like them there.

Client accounts are stored by Netlify, in storage only this website’s own server code can read. Signing in sets one cookie, which keeps you signed in for 30 days or until you sign out.

Netlify and GitHub are based in the United States, so your details may be stored there.

How long I keep it

I keep enquiries for up to 12 months, then delete them. If you become a client, I keep what your project needs, and my business records for as long as the law requires.

Who else sees it

Nobody. I don’t sell your details or pass them to anyone for marketing.

Cookies and tracking

This website doesn’t use analytics or tracking, and the only cookie is the one that keeps clients signed in to their account. It remembers, in your browser and for this visit only, that you’ve closed the helper pop-up, so it doesn’t keep appearing. Your answers in the chat stay on your screen until you choose to send them, and bookings you make in the demo aren’t sent anywhere.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the details I hold about you. Send a message through the enquiry form and say what you’d like.

If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your details, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
