Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information HSM Digital Marketing collects through this website, why we collect it, and what we do with it. It is written to be read, not to be skimmed past.
Who we are
HSM Digital Marketing ("HSM", "we", "us") is a digital marketing agency. If you have any question about this policy or about information we hold, contact us at hello@hsmdigitalmarketing.com.
What we collect
We only collect information you choose to give us. When you submit the contact form, that is:
- Your name
- Your business name
- Your email address
- Your phone number
- Your website address, if you provide one
- The service you're interested in and your indicated budget range
- Whatever you write in the message field
We do not ask for and will never request payment card details, bank details, passwords, or government identification numbers through this website.
Why we collect it
Solely to respond to your enquiry, prepare a proposal, and communicate with you about working together. That's the whole purpose.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your information.
- We do not rent, trade, or share it with third parties for their own marketing.
- We do not add you to a mailing list because you enquired. If we ever run one, you'd have to opt in deliberately.
Who processes your data
Form submissions are delivered to us through a third-party form service, and our website is served by a hosting provider. These providers process the data on our behalf and under their own privacy terms. We do not authorise them to use your information for anything else.
Cookies and analytics
This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies of its own. If we later add analytics or advertising pixels, this policy will be updated first and a cookie notice will be added to the site.
Web fonts on this site are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google's servers and Google receives your IP address as part of that request.
How long we keep it
Enquiries are kept for as long as needed to respond and, if you become a client, for the duration of our work together plus any period required for tax and accounting records. If you don't become a client, you can ask us to delete your enquiry at any time.
Your rights
You can ask us at any time to:
- Tell you what information we hold about you
- Correct anything that's wrong
- Delete your information
- Stop contacting you
Email hello@hsmdigitalmarketing.com and we'll action it. You won't need to justify the request.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information you send us. No website can promise perfect security, so please don't send sensitive personal or financial information through the contact form.
Children
This website is intended for business owners and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of the page. Material changes will be made clear rather than slipped in quietly.
