Thank you for visiting Corinne Walker Graphic Design’s website (“www.corinnewalker.design”), operated on the Squarespace platform.

This information is primarily used to ensure the Site functions properly and to analyze usage patterns.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, I process your personal data only when one or more of the following legal bases apply:

• Consent – when you voluntarily provide information (e.g., through a contact form).

I use your personal data to:

• Respond to inquiries and project requests

• Communicate during the course of a design project

• Send invoices or contracts (if applicable)

• Improve the Site and user experience

I do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Sharing Your Information

Your data may be processed or stored by third-party service providers I use to operate my business, including:

• Squarespace (website hosting): Squarespace Privacy Policy

• Email provider (for communications)

• Google Analytics (to analyze website traffic): Google Privacy Policy

Each third-party service complies with GDPR requirements and may store data in the EU, UK, or other regions with adequate safeguards.

I keep your personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above or to comply with legal obligations. For example:

• Contact inquiries: up to 12 months after last contact

9. Data Security

I take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no online system is completely secure.

10. International Data Transfers

Some of the third-party services I use may transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place to ensure your data remains protected.
