Georgia Meredith Designs ("I", "me", or "my") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, and your rights under UK data protection laws (UK GDPR).

• Information about your work – including your professional background, areas of expertise, and preferences for your website.
   

• Access needs – any information you choose to share to help me make the design process more inclusive or accessible.
   

• Photos and written content – any materials you send to be included in your website.
   

• Technical and usage information – through the website, including cookies (see Section 8).
   

• Notes from meetings – including handwritten notes from video calls, for the purposes of project planning.
   

 

3. How I Collect Your Data

• Speak with me in meetings or video calls
   

• Provide files, images, or written content for your website
   

​

4. Why I Collect Your Data

I collect your data to:

• Keep records of our working relationship
   

• Comply with any legal obligations
   

I only collect the data I need, and I never sell or share your data with third parties without your permission.

​

5. How Your Data Is Stored

Your data is stored securely in the following ways:

​

• Google Drive: all client files (including form submissions and assets) are stored in folders accessible only to me.

• Emails: communication is stored in my email account, which is password-protected.
   

• Handwritten notes: these are stored privately and securely, then destroyed after project completion or at the end of my data retention period.

 

​

6. How Long I Keep Your Data

I will keep your data for up to 6 years after our last working contact. This is to maintain records for business and tax purposes.

​

You can request that I delete your data sooner if you wish (see Section 7).
