For the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, Solarflare Studio is the Data Controller for personal data collected through this website (solarflarestudio.co.uk).
// 02 — WHAT WE COLLECT
Information you give us
- Contact form submissions: your name, email address, and the contents of the message you send.
- Direct correspondence: anything you choose to share when you email us at hello@solarflarestudio.co.uk.
Information collected automatically
- Aggregated, anonymous analytics about how the site is used (pages viewed, approximate country, referring source, device type). We use Plausible Analytics, which is cookie-less and does not track you across sites.
- Standard server logs from our hosting provider (Vercel) — IP address, user-agent, request time — used for security and debugging. These are retained for a short period and not linked to any other personal data.
// 03 — HOW WE USE IT
- To respond to enquiries you send through the contact form or by email.
- To understand how the site is used in aggregate, so we can improve the content and experience.
- To detect, prevent and address technical issues and abuse.
- To comply with our legal obligations.
We will never sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.
// 04 — LEGAL BASIS
Under UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:
- Consent — when you submit the contact form or email us, you are consenting to us using that information to reply.
- Legitimate interests — for aggregated analytics and basic server logs that help us run the site securely.
- Legal obligation — where we are required by law to retain or disclose information.
// 05 — WHO WE SHARE IT WITH
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share information only with the trusted service providers we need to run the site:
- Vercel — hosting and content delivery.
- Webflow — CMS that stores the editorial content shown on the site.
- Plausible Analytics — privacy-focused, cookie-less site analytics.
- Resend — transactional email delivery for contact form submissions.
Each of these providers is contractually bound to handle data securely and in line with applicable data-protection law. If a UK regulator or court legally requires us to disclose information, we will comply.
// 06 — HOW LONG WE KEEP IT
- Contact form messages and email correspondence: retained for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and for up to 24 months afterwards for our records, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.
- Analytics data: aggregated and anonymous; not linked to you personally.
- Server logs: typically retained for up to 30 days.

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
