Privacy Policy
Last updated: 9 April 2026
AJ Web Design ("we", "us", "our") operates the website ajwebdesign.co.uk. This page explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site or use our free tools.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide: When you contact us via email, phone, WhatsApp, or our contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and any details you include in your message.
Tool usage: When you use our free business tools, the information you enter (business name, location, industry) is sent to our server to generate results. We do not store this data permanently — it is processed in real time and discarded.
Automatically collected: Like most websites, our server logs record your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and visit time. We use this to monitor site performance and security.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To respond to your enquiries and provide quotes
- To deliver results from our free business tools
- To improve our website and services
- To comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
3. Third-Party Services
Our tools use the Google Places API to look up publicly available business information (business names, ratings, reviews, addresses). This data is provided by Google and is already publicly visible on Google Maps. We do not send your personal details to Google — only business search queries.
We use Google Fonts to display typography on our site. Google may collect your IP address when fonts are loaded. See Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Cookies
This website does not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, or advertising cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or similar tracking tools.
5. Data Retention
Contact enquiries are kept for as long as needed to respond and provide our services. Tool inputs are not stored. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days.
6. Your Rights
Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Object to processing of your data
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@ajwebdesign.co.uk.
7. Data Security
We use HTTPS encryption across our entire site. API keys and credentials are stored securely on our server and are never exposed to visitors. We take reasonable measures to protect any information you provide.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
