PRIVACY POLICY
Hey there! We know that privacy policies can be as exciting as watching paint dry, but we’ve got to have one. So grab a coffee (or something stronger), and let’s dive into how I handle your info.
​​
​
1. WHO AM I?
​
I'm Made by Katie —your friendly neighbourhood web designer. I design, I create, I create magic, I occasionally caffeinate a little too much. But above all, I respect your privacy.
​
​
2. WHAT INFORMATION DO I COLLECT?
​
I'm not interested in snooping, but I do need a little info to help you with your awesome website. Here’s what I typically collect through my website:
​
-
Contact Details: When you fill out my contact form, send me an email, or request a quote, I'll ask for your name, email, and some project details. Don’t worry—I won’t ask for your favorite pizza toppings (unless you want to share).
​
-
Website Analytics: I use some tools (think Google Analytics) to see how visitors navigate my site. It helps me figure out what’s working and what’s not—like that one time I had a button that didn’t do anything. Oops!
​​
​
3. WHAT DO I DO WITH YOUR INFO?
​
I promise not to use your details for evil. Here’s how I use your info:
​
-
To respond to your questions and provide my web design services.
-
To keep in touch about projects or improvements (nothing spammy, promise).
-
To make my site better, because who doesn’t want that?
​
​
4. SHARING IS CARING... BUT NOT WITH YOUR INFO
​
I absolutley don’t sell, trade, or give away your personal info to anyone—unless required to do so by law or if you give me the OK.
​
​
5. HOW LONG DO I KEEP YOUR INFO FOR
​
I won’t hang on to your details forever. Once we’re done with your project, I’ll keep your info only as long as necessary for my records or legal purposes. Then, poof—it’s gone. Unless you want to maintain an ongoing relationship that is!
​
​
6. YOUR RIGHTS (YES, YOU HAVE RIGHTS)
​
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data at any time. If you ever want to know what info I’ve got on you, just shoot me an email, and I’ll sort it out faster than you can say "privacy policy." You can find out more about your individual rights on the ICO website here.
​
​
7. COOKIES, DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS COOKIES
​
I use cookies on my website (tiny bits of code, not chocolate chip). They help my site work better. But if cookies aren’t your thing, you can disable them in your browser.
​
​
8. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
​
If anything changes around here, I’ll update this policy. So check back once in a while to stay in the loop.
​
​
9. QUESTIONS?
​
Got questions? Drop me a line at hello@made-by-katie.com. I'm always happy to chat (and maybe geek out about design).
