This policy explains what personal data Whetstone Works collects, why, and what you can do about it. This is a placeholder template, not legal advice. Have it reviewed by qualified counsel and complete every bracketed value before publishing.

who we are

Whetstone Works ("we", "us") operates this website. For any privacy question, contact us at [PRIVACY EMAIL].

what we collect

Information you send us. When you use the contact form we collect your name, email, optional organization, and message.

Basic technical data. Like most sites, our host may process your IP address and request metadata to serve pages and prevent abuse.

how we use it

To reply to your enquiry, to operate and secure the site, and to comply with law. We do not sell your personal data.

legal basis

[Where applicable, e.g. GDPR:] we process contact-form data on the basis of taking steps at your request prior to entering an engagement, and our legitimate interest in responding.

retention

We keep enquiry data for [RETENTION PERIOD] unless a longer period is required by law or an ongoing relationship.

your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your data. To exercise them, email [PRIVACY EMAIL].

third parties

We use [HOSTING PROVIDER] to host the site and [EMAIL PROVIDER] to deliver enquiry emails. Each processes data on our behalf under their own terms.
