Privacy policy
Last updated: 9 July 2026
North Lincs Web (“we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we use it, and your rights under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018).
Who we are
Data controller: North Lincs Web
Email: northlincsweb@outlook.com
Location: North Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us using the email above.
What data we collect
We keep data collection to a minimum. Depending on how you use this website, we may process:
- Contact enquiries — if you email us, we receive your email address, name (if provided), and the content of your message.
- Cookie preference — your choice to accept or reject non-essential cookies, stored in your browser’s local storage.
- Technical data — our hosting provider may log IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited for security and performance. We do not use this to identify you personally.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not run advertising trackers on this site.
How we use your data
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Email enquiries | Reply to quote requests and provide our services | Legitimate interests / pre-contract steps |
| Cookie preference | Remember your cookie choice | Legitimate interests (essential for compliance) |
| Hosting logs | Keep the site secure and running | Legitimate interests |
Cookies & similar technologies
We use a small amount of browser storage to run this site responsibly:
- Essential storage — saves your cookie consent choice so we do not ask every visit. This is required for us to respect your preferences.
- Non-essential (only if you accept) — we load web fonts from Google Fonts. Google may receive your IP address when fonts are requested. If you choose “Essential only”, we use system fonts instead and do not load Google Fonts.
You can change your choice at any time:
Third parties
We may share data only where necessary:
- Hosting provider — to serve this website (e.g. Netlify or similar). They process technical logs on our behalf.
- Google Fonts — only if you accept non-essential cookies. See Google’s privacy policy.
- Email provider — when you email us, your message is handled by your and our email providers.
We use data processing agreements or standard contractual terms where required.
How long we keep data
- Enquiry emails — up to 2 years after our last contact, unless you become a client (then up to 6 years for business records).
- Cookie preference — until you clear your browser storage or change your choice.
- Hosting logs — typically 30–90 days, depending on our host.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate data
- Ask us to delete your data (where the law allows)
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Request restriction of processing
- Data portability (where applicable)
- Withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent)
To exercise any of these rights, email northlincsweb@outlook.com. We will respond within one month.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
Children
Our services are aimed at businesses. This website is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Significant changes will be noted on this page.

GDPR for our clients
When we build websites for local businesses, we can include privacy policies, cookie notices, and contact-form consent so your site handles customer data properly too. Ask us about GDPR-ready setup when you get a quote.
