Privacy Policy

What we collect, why we collect it, and what you can ask us to do about it. Written to be read rather than to be impenetrable.

Last updated: 22 July 2026

On this page

    Draft — not yet reviewed. This is a working skeleton written to the right structure, not legal advice. Every highlighted value needs filling in, and the whole document should be checked by a lawyer in your jurisdiction before you publish it.

    Who we are

    Dotance (“we”, “us”) is a WordPress and WooCommerce development agency. This policy explains what personal data we collect through this website, why we collect it, and what rights you have over it.

    The data controller is add registered company name, registered at add registered address. Company number add company number.

    What we collect

    We collect only what we need to reply to you and to keep the site working.

    • Enquiry details. When you use a form on this site: your name, email address, and optionally your company, website URL, budget range, timeline and whatever you write in the message field.
    • Technical data. Standard server logs — IP address, browser type, pages requested, timestamps — retained for security and troubleshooting.
    • Analytics. name the analytics tool you use, e.g. Google Analytics 4 / Plausible / Fathom and whether it collects data in an identifiable form.

    We do not collect payment details through this website, and we do not ask for special-category data.

    Why we collect it, and our lawful basis

    • To reply to your enquiry. Lawful basis: your consent, given when you tick the box on the form.
    • To keep the site secure and working. Lawful basis: legitimate interests — running a website that is not being abused.
    • To understand how the site is used. Lawful basis: consent if analytics uses cookies, otherwise legitimate interests.

    We do not sell your data, and we do not add you to a marketing list because you sent an enquiry.

    How long we keep it

    Enquiries that do not become projects are deleted after add retention period, e.g. 12 months. Records relating to work we actually carried out are kept for add retention period, e.g. 7 years to meet accounting and contractual obligations. Server logs are kept for add retention period, e.g. 30 days.

    Who we share it with

    We use a small number of processors to run the business. Each one only receives what it needs to do its job.

    • Hosting. add hosting provider and country
    • Email. add email provider
    • Form handling. add form endpoint provider, once the form is wired up
    • Analytics. add analytics provider

    Where a processor is outside add your jurisdiction, e.g. the UK/EEA, transfers are covered by add the safeguard used, e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses.

    Cookies

    • Have inaccurate data corrected
    • Have your data deleted
    • Object to or restrict how we use it

    • Ask for your data in a portable format

    If you are not satisfied with how we handled your request, you can complain to add your supervisory authority, e.g. the ICO in the UK.

    How we protect it

    Data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored on systems protected by access control and two-factor authentication. Access is limited to the people who need it to do their job. No system is perfectly secure, but if a breach ever affects your data and puts you at risk, we will tell you and the relevant authority within the timeframes the law requires.

    Changes to this policy

    If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top of the page and, where the change affects how we use data you already gave us, contact you directly.
