This policy explains how I collect, use and store personal data when you visit www.percyclarkedesign.com, submit an enquiry, or work with me. It also applies to communications through platforms like Dubsado and email.

Payments and Security

Payments are made by bank transfer to my Monzo business account. I do not store or collect your bank details directly.

Project management and communication is handled through Dubsado, a secure, GDPR-compliant platform used for contracts, scheduling and forms.

My website is hosted on Squarespace, which stores site data securely on servers protected by a firewall.

While I take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of internet transmission is completely secure.

To exercise any of these rights, email: percyclarkestudio@gmail.com

Data Retention

I only keep your personal data for as long as necessary — for example, to complete your project or meet legal or tax obligations. After that, your data will be securely deleted.

Third-Party Tools

I use trusted third-party tools to help deliver my services. These include:

• Dubsado (for forms, contracts and scheduling)

• Monzo (for receiving payments)

• Squarespace (for website hosting)

• Google Workspace (for email and file storage)

These providers store data securely and comply with relevant privacy laws.
