Privacy Policy
This document explains how Designtuitive complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Data Protection Act (DPA) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR). It was updated on (you’ll never guess) 25th May 2018.
You can use this website without having to provide any personal data. However, for the use of certain services, personal data might be required. In accordance with GDPR, you can request any information we hold about you, request to change it or delete it altogether amongst other things.
Cookies
Like most websites, we use cookies. Cookies are small text files stored by your browser that allows use to identify a particular user or browser. Thanks to cookies we are able to better understand how the websites are used and in return we can provide a better and more user friendly experience.
The user can prevent the use of cookies at any time by using the correct setting in their browser. This feature is available in all major browsers. However, if cookies are disabled, some parts of the website might not function properly.
Collection of Data
Our websites collect general data when you visit them. This data is stored in our server log files and might include your operating system, your browser type and version, the referrer (the website that linked to one of our pages), the date and time as well as your IP and other similar data that may be present when you visit our website.
We use this data to optimize the delivery of our content. It is anonymized and only analyzed statistically. We do not use this data in order to identify our users except in case of dispute or if required by law.
We also use Google Analytics to collect similar information. Google Analytics anonymises your IP to a country level and uses cookies to enable their tracking technology. As a result, when visiting our website, this data will be automatically transferred and stored by Google in the US and Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties. You can disable this behaviour by installing tools such as "Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on" and disabling cookies.
Occasionally when we run social media campaigns we use the social media equivalent of cookies, social media pixels. We have used these to measure the success or otherwise of our advertising.
Newsletters
Our websites offer the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter for different services. We only send the newsletter to users who have voluntarily subscribed with a valid email address. A welcome email will be sent automatically on subscription and can be used to unsubscribe at any time. Should this procedure fail, you can contact us directly at support@designtuitive.com to be removed manually from the relevant lists. On unsubscription, the personal data will be deleted from our newsletter services.
The personal data collected during the subscription process is only used to send the newsletters and the data is never transferred to third parties and is stored with our newsletter providers, MailerLite.
The newsletters contain code which allows us to track the success or failure of our campaigns by offering us insight on opening rates. Some of the links might also be tracked in order for us to get an idea of the percentage of clicks.
If you choose to correspond with us through email, we may retain the content of your email messages together with your email address and our responses. We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third parties, and will not disclose your email address to any third parties unless required by law to do so.
