  • Project and business information

  • Contact details

  • Project communications

  • Website information and access details where required to provide our services

  • Invoices and payment records

  • Information relating to the services we provide to you

Our website may also collect technical information about how visitors use the site through analytics and similar technologies. This may include pages visited, device and browser information, approximate location, how you found our website and how you interact with it.

2. HOW WE COLLECT AND USE YOUR INFORMATION

We may collect information when:

  • You submit our website contact form

  • You contact us by email or phone

  • You request a quote or discuss a potential project with us

  • You become a client

  • You use or interact with our website

We identify businesses that may be interested in our services using publicly available business information

We use this information to:

  • Respond to enquiries

  • Provide quotes and discuss potential projects

  • Provide and manage services you have asked us to carry out

  • Communicate with you about your project

  • Provide website hosting, maintenance and support

  • Create and maintain invoices and business records

  • Receive and record payments

  • Understand how people use our website

  • Improve our website, services and customer experience

  • Protect and operate our business

  • Identify and contact potential business customers where permitted by law

Submitting an enquiry does not add you to a general marketing mailing list. If you contact us about a project, we will use your information to respond to and manage that enquiry.

3. OUR REASONS FOR USING YOUR INFORMATION

UK data protection law requires us to have a valid reason for using personal information.

Depending on the circumstances, we may rely on:

Contract

We may use your information when it is necessary to provide services you have asked us to carry out, or to take steps you have requested before entering into a contract.

Legal obligations

We may use or retain certain information when required to meet legal, tax, accounting or other regulatory obligations.

Legitimate interests

We may use information where it is reasonably necessary to operate and grow UrbnRise, respond to enquiries, improve our services, protect our business or carry out appropriate business-to-business outreach, provided those interests do not override your rights and interests.

4. BUSINESS OUTREACH

From time to time, UrbnRise may identify businesses that could benefit from our web design, local SEO, hosting or website support services.

We may find business information through publicly available sources such as:

  • Business websites

  • Search engines and business listings

  • Public business directories

  • Business social media profiles

  • Other information that businesses have made publicly available

Where this information identifies an individual, we will only use it where we believe there is an appropriate lawful basis and where the contact is permitted under applicable data protection and marketing rules.

You can ask us at any time not to contact you for marketing purposes.

If you ask us not to contact you again, we may keep a minimal record of your contact details on a suppression list. This allows us to respect your request and helps prevent your details from being collected and contacted again in the future.

5. COOKIES AND WEBSITE ANALYTICS

We use analytics and similar technologies to understand how people find and use our website. These currently include Google Analytics.

These services may collect information about visits and interactions with our website, such as pages viewed, device and browser information, approximate location, and how visitors interact with pages.

Some of these technologies may use cookies or similar technologies.

We use this information to understand how our website performs and to help us improve the experience we provide to visitors.

Where required, we will provide appropriate information and choices regarding cookies and similar technologies used on our website.

6. WHO WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH

We do not sell your personal information.

We may use trusted third-party service providers where necessary to operate UrbnRise and provide our services.

These may include:

  • Website hosting and email providers

  • Website form providers

  • Analytics providers

  • Banking and payment providers

  • Professional advisers or accounting services where required

  • Technology providers needed to operate our business or provide services to clients

Our website and business email are currently provided through Hostinger.

Some service providers may process information outside the United Kingdom. Where applicable, we take account of the protections required for international transfers of personal information.

We may also disclose information where we are legally required to do so.

7. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION

We only keep personal information for as long as we reasonably need it.

If you make an enquiry but do not become a client, we will normally keep information relating to that enquiry for up to 12 months from our last meaningful contact, unless there is a genuine reason or legal requirement to keep it for longer.

If you become a client, we may keep information relating to your project and our business relationship for longer where necessary to:

  • Continue providing services

  • Maintain appropriate business and financial records

  • Meet legal, tax or accounting requirements

  • Resolve disputes or questions relating to previous work

If you ask us not to contact you for marketing purposes, we may keep the minimum information necessary to ensure we continue to respect that request.

We periodically review the information we hold and remove it when it is no longer needed.

8. KEEPING YOUR INFORMATION SECURE

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.

We use reputable technology and service providers to help operate our website, email and business systems, and access to personal information is limited to where it is needed.

However, no method of transmitting or storing information online can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you rights over your personal information.

These may include the right to:

  • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you

  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information

  • Ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances

  • Ask us to restrict how your information is used in certain circumstances

  • Object to certain uses of your information

  • Receive certain information in a portable format where applicable

  • Object at any time to your personal information being used for direct marketing

Some rights depend on why and how we are using your information and may not apply in every situation.

If you would like to exercise any of these rights, contact us at caleb@urbnrise.com.

Our website may contain links to websites operated by other organisations.

UrbnRise is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. If you follow a link to another website, we recommend reviewing that organisation's privacy information to understand how it handles your personal information.
