Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 April 2026

This privacy policy explains how Noirhaus ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you visit noirhaus.co.uk or contact us through the site. We comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

Noirhaus is a web design studio based in the United Kingdom. The data controller for this site is Noirhaus, contactable at hello@noirhaus.co.uk.

What we collect

When you submit the contact form on this site, we collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your company name (optional)
• Any details you choose to share in the project brief

We do not use marketing or analytics cookies. Our site uses essential technical resources (fonts and scripts) loaded from third-party CDNs which may receive your IP address and browser information as part of normal HTTP requests.

How we use it

We use the information you submit solely to respond to your enquiry and, if you become a client, to deliver the work you've engaged us for. We will not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Lawful basis

We process your data on the basis of your consent (you have actively submitted the contact form) and our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries.

Who processes it on our behalf

• Formspree — handles contact form submissions and forwards them to our inbox. Formspree privacy policy.
• Microsoft 365 — hosts our email (hello@noirhaus.co.uk).
• Netlify — hosts the website itself and processes server logs (including IP addresses) for security and performance. Netlify privacy policy.

How long we keep it

Enquiry data is kept for as long as needed to respond and follow up. If you do not become a client, we will delete it within 12 months. Client data is retained for the duration of our engagement and for 6 years afterwards to meet UK accounting and tax obligations.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

• Request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct or delete it
• Object to or restrict our processing of it
• Withdraw your consent at any time
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk)

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@noirhaus.co.uk.
