Last updated:

Sproutdev respects your privacy. This page explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and how you can exercise your rights.

We only collect personal data you submit (e.g., contact forms) and basic, anonymous usage data if you accept analytics cookies.

You can change your cookie choice anytime and request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data.

  • Operational data: server logs (IP address, user agent, timestamp, requested pages) for security and troubleshooting.
  • Cookies: necessary cookies for site functionality; optional analytics cookies only if you accept them.
  • Consent: for optional analytics cookies and any marketing you explicitly opt into.
  • Legitimate interests: responding to your enquiry, keeping the site secure and functional.

  • To operate, protect, and improve this website (performance, debugging, and security).
  • To measure site usage (only if you accept analytics cookies).

Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited data with trusted service providers that help us run the site (e.g., website hosting) under appropriate contracts and safeguards.

  • Hosting & email: IONOS (UK/EU) provides web hosting and email services used to receive your contact form messages.

How long we keep data

  • Enquiries: typically up to 12 months after the conversation ends, unless we need to keep records longer for legal/accounting reasons.

Your rights (UK GDPR)

You have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal data, and to object to certain processing. If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.

To exercise your rights, email hello@sproutdev.co.uk. If you have concerns, you can also contact the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

International transfers

Where services process data outside the UK/EEA, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms (e.g., adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses).

How we protect your data

We use HTTPS, access controls, and standard security practices appropriate for a small business website. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data to a reasonable standard.
