Privacy Notice

Last updated: August 2026

This privacy notice explains how Ryan Baldry collects, uses and protects personal information submitted through this website.

Who I am

This website is operated by Ryan Baldry. If you have any questions about this privacy notice or how your personal information is used, you can contact me through the contact form on this website.

Information I collect

If you contact me through this website, I may collect information including your:

  • name;

  • organisation;

  • email address;

  • telephone number, where provided; and

  • any information you choose to include in your message.

I only ask for information that is reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry.

How I use your information

Information submitted through the contact form is used to respond to your enquiry, discuss potential projects or services, and communicate with you where necessary in connection with that enquiry or any subsequent work.

I do not use information submitted through the contact form to create marketing lists or send unsolicited marketing communications.

How your information is stored

Information submitted through the website contact form is delivered to me by email. I do not maintain a separate database or spreadsheet containing contact-form submissions.

Your information may therefore be retained within my email account and associated email correspondence, in line with the retention periods set out below.

Reasonable steps are taken to protect access to my email account and the personal information contained within it.

Lawful basis for processing

Where you contact me about potential work or services, I process your information where necessary to respond to your request and, where applicable, to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

In other circumstances, I may process your information on the basis of my legitimate interests in responding to professional enquiries, maintaining business relationships and operating my freelance and consultancy activities.

Sharing your information

I do not sell your personal information.

Your information will not normally be shared with third parties unless this is necessary to respond to your enquiry, deliver agreed work, comply with a legal obligation, or protect my legal rights.

The technology and email providers used to operate this website and receive communications may process personal information on my behalf as part of providing their services.

How long I keep your information

Personal information submitted through the website as part of an enquiry will normally be retained for no longer than 12 months from our last correspondence.

If your enquiry results in us working together, relevant information and correspondence may be retained for longer where necessary to manage our professional relationship and meet any contractual, tax, accounting or legal obligations.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted in line with these retention periods.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you may have rights in relation to your personal information, including rights to:

  • ask for access to the personal information I hold about you;

  • ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;

  • ask for your information to be deleted in certain circumstances;

  • ask for the use of your information to be restricted in certain circumstances; and

  • object to certain uses of your personal information.

These rights are not absolute and may depend on the circumstances and the lawful basis on which your information is being processed.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact me through this website.

You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's independent data protection regulator.

Changes to this notice

I may update this privacy notice from time to time to reflect changes to this website, the services I provide or how personal information is processed. The latest version will always be published on this page.
