Privacy policy

This policy explains how Liam Harte handles personal information submitted through liamharte.com. Liam is the controller of the personal data described here.

Information collected

If you use the contact form, the site collects your name, email address, message and confirmation that you agree to be contacted about your enquiry. The web server may also record ordinary technical information such as IP address, request time, requested page, browser user agent and response status for security and reliability.

How information is used

Contact details and messages are used only to understand and respond to your enquiry, arrange a call, discuss possible work, keep an appropriate business record, or meet a legal obligation. Technical logs are used to keep the service secure and diagnose faults.

Lawful basis

The main lawful bases are taking steps at your request before a possible engagement, legitimate interests in responding to professional enquiries and operating a secure website, and legal obligations where they apply.

Service providers

The site is hosted on a UK-accessed virtual private server and uses Resend to deliver contact-form email. Links to Calendly, LinkedIn, Rephobia and other third-party websites take you to services with their own privacy policies. No third-party analytics or advertising cookies are intentionally used on this site at launch.

Storage and retention

The contact endpoint does not create a separate database of messages. Enquiries are delivered to Liam's mailbox and retained only for as long as reasonably needed for the conversation, professional records, dispute handling or legal requirements. Security logs are retained for a limited operational period.

Sharing

Personal information is not sold. It may be shared with service providers that process it on Liam's behalf, professional advisers where necessary, or public authorities where disclosure is legally required.

Your rights

Depending on the circumstances, UK data-protection law may give you rights to access, correct, erase or restrict personal data, object to certain processing, and complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Rights can be exercised through the website contact form.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect submitted information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Changes and contact

This policy may be updated when the site, service providers or legal requirements change. Questions or rights requests can be sent through the contact form.
