Privacy policy
This site is run by Jack Davenport, a freelance web & app developer based in the UK. It collects as little personal data as possible — essentially only what you choose to send me. This page explains what that is, how it is used, and the rights you have over it.
What I collect
The only personal data this site collects is what you submit through the contact form: your name, email address and message. I use it solely to read and reply to your enquiry. There are no accounts and no marketing lists.
Who processes it
- Web3Forms delivers the contact form to my inbox. Your submission passes through their service on the way to me. See the Web3Forms privacy policy for details of their handling.
- Cloudflare hosts this site and the mentoring site, and delivers them through its network. Like any web host, its servers process standard request data (such as your IP address and browser type) to serve pages and for security.
- Google Analytics measures how the site is used. Standard analytics data about your visit is processed by Google on my behalf — see “Cookies & analytics” below.
I do not sell your data, and I do not share it with anyone beyond what is needed to reply to you.
Cookies & analytics
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how it is used — such as which pages are viewed and roughly where visitors are located. When you first visit, a banner asks for your choice. Google's analytics script is not loaded until you accept, so analytics cookies are only set, and usage data is only shared with Google, if you accept. If you decline, nothing about your visit is sent to Google and no analytics cookies are stored on your device. Google Analytics 4 does not store your full IP address, and the data is used only for aggregate insight — never to identify you personally, and never for advertising. You can change your choice at any time with the “cookies” link at the foot of every page. See Google's privacy policy for details of their handling.
Mentoring
If you get in touch about mentoring at mentoring.jackdavenport.co.uk, or become a mentee, I hold the following, and use it only to run the mentoring you asked for. That site sets no cookies and uses no analytics. My lawful basis is our contract, or the steps you ask me to take before one. I keep tax records because the law requires it.
- Your emails about mentoring, including your acceptance of the terms.
- Short private notes I keep after each call, to prepare for the next one.
- The shared Google Doc that holds your questions between calls.
- Your agreement and invoices: your name, your postal and email addresses, what you chose and, if your employer pays, their details.
What we talk about is confidential, as the mentoring terms explain. Google provides the video calls and the shared doc, and IONOS hosts the mentoring email address. I never record or transcribe a call unless we both agree at the start of that call.
How long it is kept
I keep enquiry emails only for as long as they are useful — to hold a conversation, deliver a project, or keep a record of work. You can ask me to delete your message at any time.
For mentoring:
- Notes are kept for 12 months after our mentoring agreement comes to an end, then deleted. If we only have the intro call, I delete my notes from it within three months.
- The shared doc is deleted once you tell me you have made your own copy. If I don't hear from you, I delete it along with my notes, 12 months after our mentoring agreement comes to an end.
- Your agreement and invoices are kept for six years after mentoring ends, because tax and legal records have to be.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask me to access, correct or delete the personal data I hold about you, or to stop using it. To make a request, or if you have any questions about this policy, email me at jd@jackdavenport.co.uk. If it's about mentoring, use mentoring@jackdavenport.co.uk.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, though I'd welcome the chance to put things right first.
Changes
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above will change with it. For anything you are unsure about, just get in touch.
