Why we use it
We use information to answer enquiries, prepare quotes, deliver agreed services, manage payments, keep business and accounting records, protect the website and meet legal obligations. Depending on the situation, our lawful basis is taking steps towards or performing a contract, legitimate interests, legal obligation or consent.
Website Award applications
If you apply for the Sellick Web Co. Small Business Website Award, we use the application to check eligibility, assess it against the published criteria, verify the required Instagram follow, contact the selected applicant, answer questions or complaints and keep evidence that the award was run fairly. This use is based on our legitimate interests in administering the award fairly.
Application information may be shared with the appointed independent judge and the service providers needed to run the website and record applications. Permission to discuss a paid project and permission to send marketing are separate, optional choices. Marketing uses consent, which you may withdraw at any time.
Who we share it with
We only share information where needed with trusted service providers such as website hosting, email, cloud storage, accountancy, Google Analytics where you allow optional analytics, and Stripe for secure payments. Providers receive only the information needed for their role. We may also disclose information where required by law.
How long we keep it
Unsuccessful enquiry information is normally reviewed and deleted when it is no longer useful. Client, contract, payment and accounting records are kept for the period needed to provide support and meet legal or tax record-keeping duties. We do not keep personal information simply because we can.
Unsuccessful Website Award applications are normally deleted within six months after the selected applicant is confirmed, unless a question, complaint or legal obligation requires longer. Judging and award records may be kept for up to 12 months to demonstrate fair administration. If you separately ask to discuss paid work, that enquiry follows the normal enquiry retention process. Marketing consent is kept until it is withdrawn or no longer used.
Your rights
You may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your information, and to object to some uses. You can also withdraw consent where consent is the basis being used. Email us to make a request. You may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Keeping this notice current
We will update this notice when the way we collect or use information materially changes.
