1. Who is responsible
Patrick Doyle, trading as Doyle Design, is the data controller for personal information collected through this website. The studio is based in Co. Meath, Ireland. Contact hello@patrickdoyledesign.com with privacy questions or requests.
2. Information we collect
When you send a project enquiry, we collect your name, email address, project type and message. You may also choose to share your business name, current website, timeline and budget range. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in your message.
If you email us directly, we receive your email address, message and any information or attachments you send. If you follow our booking link, Cal.com collects the details you provide to arrange your call.
Our hosting provider may process technical information such as IP addresses and request details to deliver and secure the website. We do not currently use visitor analytics cookies or advertising trackers.
3. Why we use your information
We use enquiry and booking details to answer your questions, discuss your requirements and prepare proposals. Where you ask about engaging our services, the legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract. If a project goes ahead, we process the information needed to perform that contract.
For other correspondence and website security, we rely on our legitimate interests in responding to messages and operating a secure business. We retain records where required to meet legal obligations. We do not sell your information or add you to a marketing list when you enquire.
4. Services that process information
Netlify provides website hosting and form handling. Form submissions are stored in Netlify and sent as email notifications to our business inbox. Our Outlook email service is provided through GoDaddy and Microsoft. GoDaddy’s Advanced Email Security service, powered by Proofpoint, scans and filters email to protect against spam, phishing and malware.
Cal.com provides the separate booking page at cal.com. If you book a call, we receive the information needed to arrange and respond to your booking. We may disclose information where required by law.
5. International processing
Our service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Netlify’s published data-processing agreement provides for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable. GoDaddy’s published data-processing terms also provide international-transfer safeguards. The arrangements relevant to a particular service depend on its applicable terms and configuration. Contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your enquiry.
6. How long we keep information
We delete enquiries that do not become projects after 12 months, including the copies in our form dashboard and email inbox, unless a legal obligation or an ongoing dispute requires longer retention.
For projects that go ahead, we retain information for as long as needed to deliver the work, support the client relationship and meet applicable accounting, tax and legal requirements. Deleted messages may remain recoverable for the provider’s normal recovery period. Email-security providers may retain quarantine copies and security records for their service retention periods.
7. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you can request access to your personal information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing or a portable copy. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interests. These rights are subject to the conditions in data protection law.
Email hello@patrickdoyledesign.com to make a request. We normally respond within one month. If a permitted extension is needed, we will explain it within that month. You can complain to Ireland’s Data Protection Commission at https://www.dataprotection.ie.
8. Your choices and updates
You choose whether to contact us. We need your contact details and enough information about your enquiry to respond. Optional business, website, timeline and budget details help us understand the project but are not required.
We do not use your enquiry for automated decision-making or profiling. We will update this notice if our practices change.
