Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2nd September 2026

Olin Craggs ("I", "me", "my") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and safeguard information when you visit my website at www.Kiwisdesign.uk (the "Website"), in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

By using this Website, you confirm you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

Who I Am (Data Controller)

I am the sole owner and operator of this Website, and I am the data controller for the personal data described below. You can contact me using the details at the bottom of this policy.

Personal Data I Collect

I collect only the following personal data:

  • Contact details you provide, such as your name and email address, when you get in touch via an "email me" link on the Website.

  • Any other information you choose to include in the body of an email you send me through those links (for example, project details or a message).

I do not operate any forms, accounts, checkout, or newsletter sign-up on this Website, and I don't collect payment or financial information.

Automated data collection

This Website uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. This may collect:

  • IP address (which Google may anonymise/truncate)

  • Device, browser, and general location information

  • Pages viewed, time on site, and how you arrived at the Website

Google Analytics uses cookies to do this. You can find out more about how Google processes this data in Google's Privacy Policy and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

This Website is hosted on Squarespace, which also sets certain strictly necessary cookies to serve the site securely — see Squarespace's cookie information for details.

How I Use Your Personal Data

I use the personal data described above only to:

  • Respond to enquiries or messages you send me by email

  • Understand overall Website traffic and usage trends via Google Analytics, so I can improve the site

I do not use your data for marketing, do not sell it, and do not share it with anyone except the service providers named below.

Legal Basis for Processing

  • Contact via email: processed on the basis of my legitimate interest in responding to enquiries you have chosen to send me, and/or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (e.g. discussing a project).

  • Google Analytics: processed on the basis of your consent, gathered via the cookie banner, where required. You can withdraw this consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences or browser settings.

Who I Share Data With

I only share data with the service providers that make the Website and its analytics work:

I do not share your data with any other third parties, except where required by law.

International Data Transfers

Because this Website is hosted by Squarespace and uses Google Analytics, both U.S.-based companies, some data may be transferred to and processed in the United States. Both providers participate in the EU-U.S. and UK-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks, or rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, as an approved safeguard for these transfers.

Data Retention

  • Emails and their contents are kept only as long as needed to respond to you and for a reasonable period afterward for my own records, then deleted.

  • Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's default retention settings (you can review these in Google's documentation).

Your Rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Be informed about how your data is used

  • Access the personal data I hold about you

  • Have inaccurate data corrected

  • Request erasure of your data

  • Restrict or object to processing

  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. for analytics cookies)

  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk

To exercise any of these rights, contact me using the details below.

Children's Privacy

This Website is not directed at children, and I do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided me with personal data, please contact me and I will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
