Privacy
In short
- I only collect what you give me, when you book a call or email me.
- I use it to arrange the call and to reply to you. I don’t add you to mailing lists, and I never sell or share it for marketing.
- This site sets no cookies and has no analytics or advertising trackers.
- Three services help me run it: Cloudflare, Google Workspace and Emailit.
- You can ask to see, correct or delete what I hold about you. Email [email protected].
Who I am
Long Arc is run by Tom Webster through Long Arc Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17021726), registered office 3rd Floor, 86–90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE. Long Arc Ltd is the controller of the personal data described here.
For anything about your data, email [email protected].
What I collect and why
| What | When | Why | Lawful basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your name, company, email address, the role you pick (“I am a…”) and the time you choose | You book a call | To arrange and hold the call: a calendar invite with a video link, and a confirmation email | Steps you ask me to take before any engagement |
| Your email address and what you write | You email me | To reply, and to keep a record of our conversation | Legitimate interests: answering enquiries about my work |
| Your IP address and browser and connection details | You visit the site or use the booking form | To keep the site secure and stop automated abuse of the form | Legitimate interests: keeping the site and form working |
The booking form only asks for what I need to set up the call. I don’t use your details for anything else, and I don’t make automated decisions about you.
Who else handles it
These services process data on my behalf, only to do the jobs below.
| Service | What it does | Its privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosts this site, runs the booking service and checks the booking form isn’t being filled in by a bot (Turnstile). | www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ |
| Google Workspace | My email, calendar and Google Meet video calls. | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Emailit | Sends the booking confirmation email. | emailit.com/privacy-policy |
Some of them may process data outside the UK. Ask me if you’d like details of the safeguards they use.
Cookies
This site doesn’t set cookies and doesn’t use analytics or advertising trackers. The fonts are served from this site, not from a third party.
The booking form’s bot check, Cloudflare Turnstile, looks at your IP address and browser and connection details to tell people from bots. Cloudflare says it uses these only to detect and block bots, not to identify or profile anyone. Its Turnstile privacy addendum has the detail.
How long I keep it
- Booking details and emails: while we’re in touch about working together, and deleted once I no longer need them for that.
- If we go on to work together: records of the engagement for six years after it ends, the period UK tax rules set for business records.
- Security data: I don’t keep my own copy. Cloudflare keeps it for as long as its own policy sets.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask me to:
- give you a copy of the personal data I hold about you
- correct anything that’s wrong
- delete it
- stop or limit how I use it, or object to my using it
- send it to you or someone else in a common format
Email [email protected]. I’ll reply within one month. It costs nothing.
Complaints
If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your data, tell me first and I’ll try to put it right. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
Changes
If this changes, I’ll update this page and the date at the top.
