Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Last updated: 5 November 2025

IT Studio NI ("I", "me", or "my") operates the https://www.itstudioni.com website (the "Service"). This page informs you of my policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use my Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. This is a simplified policy intended for a general audience. This website is owned and operated by Mel Launder, based in Gracehill, Ballymena, Co. Antrim.

Information Collection and Use

I collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve my Service to you.

Types of Data Collected

1. Personal Data (from Contact Form)

While using my Service, specifically the contact form, I may ask you to provide me with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you ("Personal Data"). This may include:

I use this data solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.

2. Analytics Data (Google Analytics)

I use Google Analytics to monitor and analyze the use of my Service. Google Analytics tracks and reports website traffic. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

This service tracks non-personal information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit. This helps me understand how visitors find and use my website so I can improve it.

You can opt-out of having made your activity on the Service available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. My website uses cookies for its Google Analytics functionality. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of our Service may not function correctly.

How I Use Your Data

IT Studio NI uses the collected data for various purposes:

Data Storage and Security

As a sole trader, your data (e.g., your email enquiry) is stored securely on my password-protected email systems. I will not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third parties for marketing purposes.

The security of your data is important to me, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights. You have the right to request access to, update, or delete the personal information I hold on you. If you wish to exercise this right, please contact me at hello@itstudioni.com.

Links to Other Sites

My Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by me (such as links to my clients' websites in my portfolio). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update my Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top.
