Who I am
This website is operated by Jamie Blair, a sole trader based in the United Kingdom. If you have questions about this policy, use the private message form.
What data I collect
- Contact form submissions - your name, email address, and message content when you use the contact form.
- AI chat messages - free-form text you choose to send to the website assistant is processed to generate a reply. If you explicitly request a follow-up, your chat transcript, name, and email address are stored as a private inbox message.
- Analytics data - anonymised usage data (pages visited, approximate location, device type) collected via Google Analytics, only with your consent.
- Server logs - IP address, browser user-agent, and request timestamps retained by the hosting provider (Vercel) for security and debugging purposes.
How I use your data
- To respond to your enquiries via the contact form.
- To generate website-assistant replies and, only when requested, preserve the conversation for a private follow-up.
- To understand how the site is used so I can improve content and performance (analytics).
- To protect the site against abuse and security threats (server logs).
I do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies
This site uses the following cookies:

Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

Data retention
- Contact form data is retained only as long as needed to answer and manage the enquiry, with old records reviewed for deletion.
- Chat history is kept in your browser's session storage for the session. A transcript is retained in the private inbox only if you explicitly submit it for follow-up, after which the contact-form retention approach applies.
