Privacy Notice
This notice covers how LaunchKit handles information submitted through the contact form. A fuller policy covering the rest of the site is still being written.
Who LaunchKit is
LaunchKit is a website design and development service run by Josh, based in Ireland. For anything relating to this notice or how your information is handled, contact josh@launchkit.ie.
Information collected
When you use the contact form, LaunchKit collects:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Your phone number, if you provide one
- Your business or project name, if you provide one
- Your industry, if you provide one
- The service you select
- The message you write
Purpose and lawful basis
This information is used only to respond to your enquiry and discuss the work you've asked about. It is processed on the basis that submitting the form is a request to take steps, at your initiative, towards a possible contract for LaunchKit's services (GDPR Article 6(1)(b) - processing necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract). It is not sold, and you are not automatically added to any marketing or mailing list.
Where it goes
A submitted enquiry is emailed directly to LaunchKit - it is not stored in a database. Two service providers process it on LaunchKit's behalf in order to deliver it:
- Cloudflare - hosts the website and handles security infrastructure, including bot protection (Turnstile) for this form.
- Resend - delivers the enquiry email to LaunchKit's inbox.
Both providers may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States. Where this happens, both rely on recognised safeguards for international transfers, such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, as described in their own privacy and data processing terms.
How long it's kept
Enquiry emails are retained for up to 12 months from your most recent contact with LaunchKit about that enquiry, after which they are deleted unless a longer period is needed to deal with a specific ongoing matter (for example, an active project or a legal requirement).
No automatic emails to you
Submitting the form does not trigger an automatic confirmation email. LaunchKit will reply to you directly, using the email address you provided.
Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Ask what information LaunchKit holds about you and get a copy of it (access)
- Ask for incorrect information to be corrected (rectification)
- Ask for your information to be deleted (erasure)
- Ask LaunchKit to limit how your information is used (restriction)
- Object to the processing, including where it's based on legitimate interests or pre-contractual steps (objection)
- Ask for a copy of your information in a portable format, where applicable (portability)
To exercise any of these rights, email josh@launchkit.ie.
If you're not satisfied with how your information has been handled, you also have the right to complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) at www.dataprotection.ie.
