Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us

Sunday Ambience Studio ("we", "our", "us") takes your privacy seriously and is committed to handling your personal data with care. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe — whether you're browsing our site, getting in touch about website design services, or signed up to our newsletter.

We're based in the United Kingdom and work in accordance with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What we collect

Information you give us directly

When you contact us, subscribe to our newsletter, or enquire about a project, we may collect:

• Your name and email address
• Your business name, if you choose to share it
• Project-related details relevant to your website enquiry
• Anything you include in a message or enquiry form

Information collected automatically

If you've consented to analytics, we may also collect:

• Device and browser type
• IP address and approximate location
• Pages viewed and how long you spent on them
• Where you came from before landing on our site

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your enquiries and questions
• Assess and deliver website design services
• Send our newsletter — but only if you've signed up for it
• Improve our site and the content we share
• Meet any legal obligations we're required to fulfil

Our legal basis for processing

• Consent — for our newsletter and any analytics cookies
• Contract — to deliver services you request from us
• Legitimate interests — to respond to your enquiries
• Legal obligation — where we're required to by law

Cookies

We use cookies to keep the site running smoothly and, with your consent, to understand how people use our site.

Essential cookies

These are necessary for the site and forms to function properly — including cookie consent preferences and checkout security. They don't require your consent to run.

Analytics cookies

Only used if you've given your consent — these give us an anonymised, aggregated picture of how people browse the site, which helps us make improvements.

Managing your cookies

You can update your preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link on our site, or through your browser settings.

Third-party services

We work with a small number of trusted third-party services to run the studio:

• Netlify — site hosting and form handling
• Google Analytics — site analytics, with your consent only
• Buttondown — newsletter management

How long we keep your data

• Enquiries — up to two years from our last contact
• Project and accounting records — as required for tax purposes, typically six years
• Newsletter — for as long as you remain subscribed
• Analytics data — in line with each provider's own defaults

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. You can also request that we restrict how we process it, ask for a portable copy, or object to certain types of processing.

To exercise any of these rights, simply get in touch via our About page — we'll handle your request promptly and without any fuss.
