Privacy Policy

Effective from 19 October 2026

This page explains, in plain words, what data doart.uk collects, why, and how you can control it. It is written with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and the EU GDPR in mind.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Dmitry Nefedov, web designer and developer (DoART brand, doart.uk).
For any data question: design@doart.uk

2. What data I receive

When you send an enquiry (contact form, price calculator, pop-up form):

your name and the contact you provide (phone, e-mail, Telegram or WhatsApp);
your answers in the form and any comment;
technical details of the enquiry: the page it was sent from, device type, site language, traffic source (for example a UTM tag) and time spent on the site.

When you message me directly via Telegram, WhatsApp or e-mail — whatever you choose to send.

When you simply browse — anonymised visit statistics (only if you allow analytics cookies, see section 5) and standard hosting server logs (IP address, browser, time of request).

I do not collect special category data and do not ask you to provide it.

3. Why, and on what legal basis

Purpose	Legal basis
Reply to your enquiry, prepare an estimate and a proposal	Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract; legitimate interest in answering enquiries
Deliver the work if we agree on it	Performance of a contract; accounting and tax obligations
Understand which pages are useful (Google Analytics)	Your consent — you can withdraw it at any time
Keep the site secure and working	Legitimate interest

I do not sell your data, use it for advertising, share it for anyone else's marketing, or make automated decisions with legal effects.

4. Who else processes data

Telegram — enquiries from the site are delivered to me in Telegram via a bot.
Google (Google Analytics 4) — visit statistics, only with your consent. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses.
Hosting provider — runs the website and keeps server logs.
E-mail and messenger services we use to talk.

These services, and I, may process data outside the UK and the EEA. In such cases the safeguards provided by those services apply (for example, standard contractual clauses).

5. Cookies

On your first visit the site asks whether you allow analytics cookies. They are not set without your consent.

Name	Purpose	Duration
pll_language	Necessary: remembers the site language	1 year
dx_consent	Necessary: remembers your cookie choice (stored in your browser)	Until you clear your browser data
_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics — only with consent	Up to 2 years

If you decline, Google may receive anonymous cookieless signals (Consent Mode) that contain no identifiers that could recognise you.

6. How long data is kept

Enquiries and messages that do not lead to a contract — up to 24 months after our last contact, then deleted.
Contract data — as long as accounting and tax law requires.
Google Analytics statistics — 14 months.

7. Your rights

You can ask at any time to access, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to its processing, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw your cookie consent. Write to design@doart.uk — I will reply within one month, free of charge.

If you believe your rights have been breached, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) or the data protection authority in your country. I would appreciate the chance to sort it out first — just write to me.

8. Children

This site is intended for business owners and companies. I do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

9. Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new date at the top.
