Privacy Policy

I value your privacy very highly. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using danhalman.co.uk (the “Website”), operated by Dan Halman (“me,” “I”), as this policy contains important information about how I collect and use your data.

Your access to and use of the Website depends on your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. It applies to all visitors, users, and anyone else who interacts with the Website.

By using the Website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you disagree with any part of it, you may not access or use the Website.

I respect the EU’s General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), and this policy explains how I collect and handle your information. I take care to keep your data secure and make it simple for you to request or delete your data at any time.

How I Collect Information

I collect information fairly and lawfully, with your consent, to assist with your project or website. You can refuse to provide this information, but I may not be able to offer certain services without it.

When you contact me via my online enquiry form, I may ask for:

  • Your name, email address, and phone number (to respond to your enquiry)
  • Details about your business or project
  • Billing information (only when necessary for payments—processed securely, not stored on my website)

I will never request or collect sensitive data.

Your enquiry form submissions are not stored online—they are sent securely to my email ([email protected]). If you don’t proceed with a project, I permanently delete your details. I won’t add you to a mailing list or share/sell your data.

What Information I Collect

  • Contact details (name, email) when you reach out
  • Project-related information (if we work together)
  • Email address only (if you sign up for my newsletter)
  • Business details (for invoicing, if we collaborate)

Payments are processed via Bank Transfer, PayPal, or Stripe—I never handle your credit card details directly.

This data is “identifying information” as it can personally identify you. I only collect what’s necessary to provide the services you request.

Server Log Data

My web server may log standard browser data (e.g., pages visited, browser type, screen resolution). This doesn’t identify you personally.

Client Details

For active projects, I may store:

  • Contact details
  • Project information
  • Passwords (only with your permission, for necessary access)

This data is kept solely to complete your requested work.

Data Processing & Storage

Your data may be stored or processed by trusted third-party providers. If you request deletion, I’ll remove it as soon as possible.

When you contact me, your details are stored in:

  • My email software
  • My contacts system (secured with passwords + two-factor authentication)

Project files are saved on secure local hard drives or password-protected cloud storage (also with two-factor authentication).

This policy only covers my own data handling. My website may link to external sites—I’m not responsible for their privacy practices.

What I Use Your Information For

  • To communicate about your project
  • For invoicing and record-keeping
  • To send service updates (e.g., hosting/domain notices) if we work together

You can unsubscribe from non-essential emails anytime.

Who Has Access to Your Information

Only I (or approved contractors, with your permission) access your data for project work. I never sell or unnecessarily share your information.

How I Protect Your Data

  • Restricted access to necessary parties only
  • Unique, strong passwords for all services (stored in an encrypted manager)
  • No sharing of personal data unrelated to your project

SSL Secure Server

My website uses HTTPS encryption to protect data you submit via forms.

Social Networks

Links to my social media profiles (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn) are provided, but I don’t control content on those platforms.

Data Breaches

If a breach occurs, I’ll notify affected clients and authorities promptly.

Cookies

My website uses cookies (e.g., for analytics via [Microsoft Clarity]) to improve user experience. No personal data is stored.

You can disable cookies in your browser, but some site features may not work correctly.

Your Data Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Be informed
  • Access, correct, or delete your data
  • Restrict processing or request portability
  • Object to automated decisions

To request your data or its deletion, email [email protected].

Policy Changes

Updates to this policy take effect immediately upon posting on my Website.
