Privacy Policy

01Who we are

Stakzey Digital is a web design and development studio. We are responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can contact us at hello@stakzey.com.

02What data we collect

When you request a free homepage or contact us, we collect: your full name, business name, industry, the service you need, your current website URL (optional) and your email address or WhatsApp number.

03Free website tools

When you use our free tools we process the website address you enter. If you ask for a report or estimate by email we store your name, email, business name, the tool used and a summary of the results so we can send it and follow up. We store a scrambled version of your IP address (never the address itself) to limit misuse, and audit results are cached for 24 hours.

Our competitor comparison tool fetches both public websites you enter and tests them with Google PageSpeed Insights.

04Website assistant

Our chat assistant uses Google Gemini to generate answers. The messages you type are sent to Google to produce a reply and may be used by Google to improve its services, so please don't share passwords or sensitive data in the chat. We don't store chat conversations. If you ask us to contact you, we store your name, email, optional note and the last 10 messages of the conversation in our database and email them to us so we can reply.

05Why we use it

We use this data to respond to your free homepage request, communicate with you about your project and provide the services you ask for.

06Legal basis

Under UK GDPR we rely on your consent (given when you submit our form) and on our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries and delivering agreed work.

07Where your data is stored

Form submissions are stored securely in our database hosted by Supabase, with access limited to the people working on your request.

08How long we keep it

We keep your data for 24 months, unless you ask us to delete it sooner.

09Third parties

We use trusted providers to run our services: Supabase (secure database for form submissions), Vercel (website hosting and Vercel Web Analytics, a cookieless traffic measurement tool), Resend (sending email notifications), Cloudflare (email routing, security and the Turnstile bot check on our forms), Cal.com (our call booking widget — sets cookies only once you accept them in our consent bar), WhatsApp / Meta (when you message us on WhatsApp), Google Gemini (to generate answers in our website chat assistant), Google PageSpeed Insights (when you use our free website audit, the address you enter is sent to Google to test it) and Sentry (anonymous error reports so we can fix bugs). We never sell your data.

10Cookies and consent

Our website itself does not set tracking cookies. The booking widget from Cal.com sets cookies only after you accept them in the consent bar at the bottom-left of the page. Your choice is remembered on your device. You can change it at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site.

11International transfers

Our team works remotely, including from outside the UK. When your data is accessed or processed outside the UK, we take appropriate steps to keep it secure in line with UK GDPR.

12Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, and to object to how we use it.

13How to exercise your rights

Email hello@stakzey.com with your request. We will respond within one month.

14Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
