Privacy information for this website preview

Last updated: 13/10/2026

This page covers the DC Digital website preview at dcdigital.uk. It explains the preview’s current handling of information. It is not the final privacy notice for the replacement dcdigital.uk website. Some account-specific hosting, email and international-transfer details are still being verified, as explained below.

Please use test details only in these preview forms. For a real enquiry, contact DC Digital directly by email or phone. Do not send passwords, payment details, confidential information or sensitive personal information through the preview.

Who is responsible

David Cooper Digital Ltd, trading as DC Digital, is the controller of information collected through this preview. The company is registered in England and Wales, number 13710226. Its registered office is 4 Chester Court, Chester Hall Lane, Basildon, Essex SS14 3WR. This is a legal address, not an office open to visitors.

Contact David Cooper at [email protected] or 07512 210345 about your information or this notice. These direct contact routes are separate from the preview’s automatic form-delivery system.

What the preview forms collect

The forms ask for contact details and the question, project or audit request you choose to provide. Depending on the form, this includes your name, email address, website, selected services and optional company, telephone, budget, timing and reply preferences. The longer project form may also ask about your current marketing, such as advertising spend, social platforms, customers and previous outbound activity. Required fields are labelled. You have no obligation to send a form.

The current form system can save a submission as a private record in the website’s WordPress database. Stored records are not displayed to visitors and can be accessed by authorised website administrators. Each submission is also emailed to DC Digital’s business mailbox, and the sender receives an automatic acknowledgement email. Both emails are sent through Google Workspace, our business email provider. The Freshsales connection is switched off. An acknowledgement does not mean a person has read the request or a callback is booked.

The form also records its submission page, time and available source information, such as campaign tags. Earlier pages from the same visit may be included when analytics consent has been given. Spam checks use a salted version of the connection’s IP address for a one-hour rate limit. This form handler does not add the raw IP address to the enquiry record. Hosting services may separately handle connection information in their technical logs.

The longer project form can save unfinished answers in this browser tab so they remain available while you move through it. This copy uses browser session storage and is cleared by the form after a successful submission. Session storage normally ends with the tab’s session; a browser’s session-restore feature may retain it. Avoid entering personal information on a shared device. Short enquiry forms do not require this draft autosave.

Why information is used

We use the preview to test the website’s enquiry flow, investigate receipt problems and maintain a secure website. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in operating and testing the website securely. We ask for test details because real personal information is not needed for that testing.

If you contact us directly, we use your details to understand and respond to your request. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries. Where you ask us to take steps towards a contract with you personally, we use the information needed for those steps on that contractual basis.

An enquiry does not sign you up for marketing emails. This preview’s forms do not send submissions to Freshsales while that switch is off. Its Google Tag Manager integration has no container configured. The intended launch arrangements will be checked and described before those integrations are enabled.

Hosting and other recipients

Hostinger hosts this preview and the WordPress database holding any submitted forms. Hosting involves handling information needed to receive and serve website requests, including connection information. Authorised DC Digital website administrators can access stored submissions to maintain the site and investigate requests. Google Workspace, our business email service, sends the form emails described above and also handles your address and message if you email us directly.

You can also message us on WhatsApp through our WhatsApp Business account on 07512 210345 (username @dcdigitalmarketing). If you do, WhatsApp also handles your phone number, your WhatsApp profile and information about the messages, under its own terms and privacy policy. WhatsApp is a Meta company. In the UK, its service is provided by WhatsApp LLC, based in the US. If WhatsApp is not how you would like to talk to us, use phone or email instead.

Account-specific hosting location, backup and support arrangements, and the international-transfer safeguards applicable to those arrangements are still being verified. We cannot yet provide a verified account-specific description of those transfers. Contact David using the details above if you need information about data you have already provided.

The future Freshsales connection is not active in this preview. Its details will be confirmed before activation. Links to client websites, social networks and other external websites take you to services covered by their own privacy information.

How long information is kept

DC Digital’s agreed policy is to keep the website copy of form submissions for six months from submission. The website is configured for that period and has a daily removal task scheduled. Successful operation of that task and the hosting backup cycle still need verification. We are not claiming that deletion from every backup has been verified.

The agreed policy for business enquiries and related correspondence that do not become client work is 24 months after the last contact. This is separate from the website copy and must be managed in the relevant business systems. The form’s rate-limit record lasts one hour. Browser form drafts use session storage as explained above. Exact hosting log and backup retention arrangements are still being checked.

Your rights

You can ask for access to your personal information, correction of inaccurate information, deletion or restriction of its use, subject to the conditions in data protection law. Where applicable, you can ask for information you supplied to be transferred to you or another organisation.

You can object to processing based on our legitimate interests. Contact David using the details above and explain what you object to. If processing relies on your consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.

How to raise a concern

You can raise a privacy concern directly with David using the contact details above. You also have the right to complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the ICO, at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.

We will update this page as the outstanding arrangements are verified or the preview’s operation changes. This notice makes the known position available. The final privacy and delivery checks for the replacement website remain open.
