Privacy notice

How I collect, use and look after your personal data.

Last updated 10 November 2026

In short

I only collect what I need to answer your enquiry, send the credentials you ask for and run your project. Your data is never sold, and you can ask to see, correct or delete it at any time.

01Who I am

I'm Pip Stewart. Designpip is the trading name of my company, Pip Design Limited, registered in England and Wales (company number 11145183). Pip Design Limited is the controller of the personal data described in this notice.

Registered office: Unit 11 Worton Court, Worton Hall Industrial Estate, Worton Road, Isleworth, Middlesex, TW7 6ER. You can reach me at pip@designpip.com.

02What I collect

I collect personal data in these ways:

  • Contact form: your name, company, email address, phone number, the area of work you choose and your message.
  • Credentials request: your name, email address and company, and whether you would like occasional news.
  • Email, phone and meetings: whatever you choose to share when you get in touch or while we work together.
  • Projects: the business contact details of the people I work with.
  • Website analytics: if you accept analytics cookies, how you use this website, such as the pages you visit, your device and browser, and your approximate location. The cookie policy has the details.

03How I use it

I use your data only for the reasons below. UK data protection law asks me to name the legal basis for each one.

  • To reply to your enquiry and talk about possible work (legitimate interests).
  • To send the credentials document you asked for (legitimate interests), and occasional news only if you ticked the box to receive it (consent).
  • To carry out a project and invoice for it (contract).
  • To keep accounting and tax records (legal obligation).
  • To understand how the website is used so it can be improved (consent, given through the cookie banner).

I never sell your data, and I do not use it for automated decision-making.

04Who I share it with

I share data only with the services that help run the studio, and only what each one needs:

  • Webflow, which hosts this website and receives contact form submissions.
  • MailerLite, which sends the credentials document and any news you signed up for.
  • Google, for Google Analytics, but only if you accept analytics cookies.
  • My email and file storage providers.
  • Bunny.net, which hosts the films on this website.
  • Adobe Fonts, which supplies some of the typefaces on this website.
  • AI tools, such as Claude, which help me draft, organise and produce work. I use them on settings where my content isn’t used to train their models, and I don’t put confidential or price-sensitive client material into them unless you’ve agreed.
  • My accountant, for invoices and company accounts.

Some of these providers store data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, the transfer is protected by UK adequacy regulations (such as the UK–US data bridge) or by approved contract terms.

05How long I keep it

  • Enquiries that do not lead to work: up to two years, in case you get in touch again.
  • Project and client records: six years after the project ends.
  • Accounting records: six years, as UK tax law requires.
  • News mailing list: until you unsubscribe, which you can do from any email.
  • Website analytics: 14 months.

06Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to:

  • ask for a copy of the personal data I hold about you
  • ask me to correct or delete it
  • object to or restrict how I use it
  • ask me to transfer it to another organisation
  • withdraw your consent, where I rely on it

To use any of these rights, email pip@designpip.com. I will reply within one month.

07Cookies

This website uses essential cookies to work, and Google Analytics cookies only if you say yes. The cookie policy lists them and explains how to change your choice.

08Questions and complaints

If you have a question about this notice, email pip@designpip.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

09Changes to this notice

I will post any changes on this page and update the date at the top. If a change affects how I use data you have already given me, I will tell you directly.
