Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2025
Our commitment to your privacy
Pocketforge takes the handling of personal data seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it's protected, and what rights you have over it.
We collect only what we need and keep it only as long as it serves a clear purpose. We don't sell personal data to third parties.
What data we collect
Contact form submissions
When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message content. This is used solely to respond to your enquiry.
Usage data and analytics
With your consent, we collect anonymised information about how you interact with our site — pages visited, time spent, referring source. This is processed via analytics services and is not linked to your personal identity.
Cookies and local storage
We use cookies to remember your consent preferences and to support basic site functionality. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
Technical data
Like all web servers, ours may log IP addresses, browser types, and device information in server logs. This data is used for security and error monitoring and is not linked to contact form data.
How we use your data
- To respond to contact form submissions and follow up on project enquiries
- To understand how the website is used and identify areas for improvement
- To maintain site security and monitor for technical errors
- To comply with legal obligations where applicable
We do not use personal data for automated decision-making or profiling. We do not send marketing emails unless explicitly requested.
Legal basis for processing
We process contact form data on the basis of legitimate interest — responding to a direct enquiry. Analytics data is processed on the basis of consent, which you can withdraw at any time via the Cookie Policy page.
Third-party sharing
Pocketforge does not sell or rent personal data to third parties. We may share data with service providers that support our operations — such as analytics platforms — under strict data processing agreements.
We may disclose data if legally required to do so by a valid legal process.
How long we keep data
Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to address the enquiry, and no longer than 24 months thereafter unless there is an ongoing relationship or legal requirement to retain them. Anonymised analytics data is governed by the retention policy of the analytics provider.
How we protect your data
- Data transmitted via HTTPS is encrypted in transit
- Access to stored data is restricted to authorised personnel only
- In the event of a data breach, affected parties will be notified within the timeframe required by applicable law
