At a glance
McAnany Websites is a static web design studio site operated by Michael McAnany. The site contains no account registration, contact forms, advertising pixels or visitor-tracking scripts added in the site code. If you send an email, I receive the details you choose to include. Like other websites, hosting and image-delivery providers process technical requests to show the pages.
Who is responsible?
The person responsible for this website is Michael McAnany, operating McAnany Websites as an independent design studio. This is not a claim that a limited company has been incorporated. For privacy questions or rights requests, email [email protected].
What information is used?
Browsing: Requests to the site may involve your IP address, browser and device details, requested pages and timestamps. Cloudflare processes technical information to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
Photographs: Some architectural concept images are requested from Unsplash / images.unsplash.com ↗. Your browser connects to that service to load those images, which may disclose technical request information such as IP address and browser details to that provider. The editorial concept uses locally generated CSS cover artwork instead.
Contacting me: If you email [email protected], I may receive your name, address, message and any files or project details you send. Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information.
Why this information is processed
Under UK data protection law, delivering and securing the website and responding to genuine business enquiries is generally based on legitimate interests. If you ask for a quote, some correspondence may also be necessary to take steps before entering a contract. Records may be kept where the law requires them. I do not use visitor information for behavioural advertising or automated profiling.
Who provides the service?
Cloudflare ↗ provides DNS, hosting and security. Unsplash ↗ supplies remotely requested photographs on the construction concept pages. The company providing my email service will process messages sent to the studio address. Their processing and international transfer arrangements depend on the service in use. Following an external link takes you to another website governed by its own notices.
Cookies and analytics
The HTML, CSS and JavaScript supplied with this site do not intentionally set cookies, use browser storage, add analytics, or embed marketing tracking. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary security cookies depending on the account settings. See the cookie notice. If external analytics or embeds are enabled later, this policy will need updating.
How long information is kept
I do not maintain my own visitor database. Hosting technical logs are governed by the hosting provider's settings. Ordinary email enquiries are intended to be deleted once no longer needed, normally within 12 months after the last substantive correspondence. Where work is agreed, records may need to be retained longer for contractual, tax or other legal reasons.
Your rights
Depending on the situation, you can ask to access, correct, erase or restrict personal data, object to processing, or ask about portability. Email [email protected] to make a request. You can also complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office ↗.
Changes to this notice
I will revise this policy if the site adds forms, analytics, other data collection, a different hosting setup or new commercial features. The latest revision date is shown above.
