Who we are

This website is run by Ward Social Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 15370741). We are the controller of the personal data described here. You can contact us at hello@wardsocial.co.uk.

What we collect

When you use our contact form we collect your first name, last name, email address, phone number (if you give it) and your message. If you email us directly, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include.

Why we use it

We use these details only to reply to your enquiry and, if we go on to work together, to discuss and deliver that work. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us, or taking steps at your request before entering into a contract. We do not sell your data or use it for marketing without your permission.

Who processes it

Form submissions are handled by our website host, Netlify, Inc., which stores them on our behalf. Fonts on this site are served by Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers and shares your IP address with Google. Some of these providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, they rely on approved safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries for up to 12 months after our last contact with you, unless we start working together, in which case we keep records for as long as needed for that work and our legal obligations.

Cookies

This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal data, object to or restrict how we use it, or ask for a copy to take elsewhere. Email hello@wardsocial.co.uk and we will respond within one month. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
