Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 11 June 2026

1. Introduction Welcome to Overton Design Studio ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy.

This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you when you visit our website https://www.overtondesignstudio.com/ or use our services. We are the data controller of the personal data we process.

2. The Data We Collect We collect specific data to help us operate our website and communicate with you:

• Identity & Contact Data: Name and email address (for example, when you voluntarily fill out our contact form or sign up for a newsletter).

• Technical Data: Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, and operating system (collected automatically by Squarespace to ensure the site loads correctly).

• Usage Data: Anonymous information about how you use our website (e.g., which pages you visit and how long you stay).

3. How We Use Your Data We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we use your data to:

• Respond to enquiries and communicate with you about your project.

• Provide quotes, proposals, invoices and design services.

• Manage our working relationship with you as a client.

• Send you email updates if you have signed up to The Overton Edit.

• Understand how visitors use our website so we can improve the user experience, content and services we offer.

• Monitor website performance, traffic sources and enquiry activity.

• Comply with legal, accounting or reporting requirements.

• We rely on different lawful bases depending on the purpose, including performance of contract, legitimate interests, consent and legal obligation.

4. Sharing Your Data We do not sell your personal data.

We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers who help us run our website, analytics, email marketing and business operations. These may include:

• Squarespace: Our website hosting provider, forms provider and analytics platform.

• Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager: To help us understand website traffic, page views, button clicks and general website performance.

• Google Search Console: To help us monitor how our website appears in Google search results.

• Email marketing providers: Only where you have actively signed up to receive email updates from us.

• Professional service providers: Such as accountants, legal advisers or business tools where needed to run the studio properly.

  If we add additional tools in future, such as advertising pixels, checkout providers or digital product platforms, this policy may be updated to reflect those services.

5. International Transfers Many of our external third parties (like Squarespace) are based outside the UK. Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

• We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data.

• Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved for use in the UK which give personal data the same protection it has in the UK.

6. Data Retention We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

7. Your Legal Rights Under the UK GDPR, you have rights in relation to your personal data, including the right to:

• Request access to your personal data.

• Request correction of your personal data.

• Request erasure of your personal data.

• Object to processing of your personal data.

• Request restriction of processing your personal data.

• Request transfer of your personal data.

• Right to withdraw consent.

If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us.

8. Cookies Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help the website function, understand how visitors use the site and improve the experience.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to work properly. Others, such as analytics cookies, help us understand things like which pages are visited, where traffic comes from and how people interact with the site.

We may use cookies and similar technologies through Squarespace, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.

Where required, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the website may not function properly if cookies are blocked.
