• Legal obligation: tax, accounting, and regulatory retention

Formspree and other processors

Contact form submissions are processed by Formspree, Inc. (Formspree endpoint: https://formspree.io/f/xqenglqv). Formspree acts as a data processor and stores submissions to deliver them to our inbox. Their privacy policy applies to their processing: formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

We also use vetted processors for hosting, email, CRM, and analytics. Each is bound by data processing terms appropriate to EU/UK requirements.

Cookies and analytics

We may use privacy-focused or standard analytics to understand traffic patterns. Where required, we request consent before non-essential cookies. You can control cookies through browser settings and any consent banner we display.

International transfers

Some processors may store data outside the EU/EEA. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions.

Retention

• Enquiry data: up to 18 months if no contract is signed, then deleted unless you request earlier removal
• Client project data: duration of contract plus statutory retention for tax and legal records (typically 6 to 10 years for business records)
• Server logs: rolling deletion, typically 30 to 90 days

Security

We use access controls, encrypted transport (HTTPS), and vendor review for systems that hold personal data. No method of transmission is completely secure, but we follow industry practices and review controls regularly.

Your rights

If you are in the EU, UK, or other applicable jurisdictions, you may have the right to:

• Access a copy of your personal data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete data where no overriding legal basis exists
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Data portability where processing is automated and based on consent or contract
• Withdraw consent without affecting prior lawful processing
• Lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority

Submit requests to privacy@intseomedia.com or fabi@site-media.co.uk. We respond within one month unless complexity requires an extension.
