Privacy Notice · Updated 30 September 2026

How Yorkshire Digital handles personal details.

This notice covers visits to the website, project enquiries and client work. It also explains how I handle data when I provide a client with a business system.

Summary

The short version.

Who is responsible?

Yorkshire Digital is operated by Connor Kelly, a sole trader in England.

Connor Kelly, trading as Yorkshire Digital, is the data controller for personal information from website visitors, enquiries and clients.

Business correspondence address: Bartle House, 9 Oxford Court, Manchester, M2 3WQ.

Email: hello@yorkshiredigital.co.uk.

What is collected?

Information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, optional phone number and what you need help with.

Why is it used?

To reply to enquiries, plan and deliver agreed work, run the website, keep necessary records and meet legal obligations. Optional analytics and advertising tools run only if you allow them.

Personal data

What information may be collected.

Enquiry details

Name, email address, optional phone number, the service you ask about and the problem you describe in the contact form or an email.

Client and project details

Business and contact details, website content, project notes, support requests, invoices and payment status. CRM setup information is handled where that service is part of the agreement.

Website and analytics data

If optional tracking is allowed, Google Analytics and Meta Pixel may collect information about visits, pages viewed, device/browser data and marketing performance. After a florist enquiry is saved, Meta’s Conversions API also receives a Lead event, a hashed email address, browser information, IP address where available and Meta browser/click identifiers where available. Hashing does not make this anonymous: Meta uses it to match the enquiry to advertising activity. Your message and florist business name are not sent in this event. Declining optional tracking does not stop your enquiry being saved or answered.

Payment information

Payment links and payment status may be handled through Stripe. Full card details are handled by Stripe, not stored directly on the Yorkshire Digital website.

Messages and emails

Emails, WhatsApp messages, support conversations and CRM-related notifications may be retained where needed to manage the relationship or provide the service.

Sharing

Who personal data may be shared with.

Yorkshire Digital does not sell personal data. I share it only where needed to run the website, deliver agreed work, communicate, take payments, comply with law or use analytics and advertising tools you have allowed.

Service providers

Hosting, database, email, payment, analytics, development and support providers. The main list is on the Subprocessors and Storage page.

Payment providers

Stripe may process payment information when payment links are used. Stripe's own terms and privacy information also apply.

Legal and professional support

Information may be shared with accountants, advisers, insurers, regulators or authorities where needed for legal, tax, dispute or compliance reasons.

Retention

How long information is kept.

Enquiries

Unsuccessful enquiries are normally kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless they need to be kept longer for a dispute, legal reason or active relationship.

Clients

Client records are kept while services are active and then for as long as needed for accounting, support history, legal claims and business records. Financial records may normally be kept for up to six years.

Marketing consent

Consent and opt-out records may be kept while marketing is active and for a reasonable period afterwards so requests not to be contacted can be respected.

CRM customer data

Where I provide a CRM for a client, their customer data is handled under the client agreement and the Data Processing Terms. Export or deletion is agreed during offboarding.

Marketing

Marketing choices are separate from service messages.

Messages needed to reply to your enquiry, deliver a project, provide support or send invoices are separate from promotional marketing. You can read more on the Marketing Consent page.

Your rights

Rights over your personal data.

Depending on the situation, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to processing, ask for portability, or withdraw consent. To make a request, email hello@yorkshiredigital.co.uk or write to the business correspondence address above.

Complaints

Contact Yorkshire Digital first if something looks wrong.
