Privacy Notice

Last updated: April 2026

This notice explains how Dataigent Ltd ("we", "us", "our") collects and uses personal data when you visit www.dataigent.com or contact us. It is written to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Who we are

Dataigent Ltd is a data and IT consultancy based in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. For any privacy questions, contact us at hello@dataigent.com.

What we collect

Information you give us

When you use the contact form on our website, you provide us with:

We use this solely to respond to your enquiry. The lawful basis is Article 6(1)(b) UK GDPR — steps taken at your request prior to entering a contract — or Article 6(1)(f), our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries about our services.

Information collected automatically

Our website is hosted on a standard web server which, like most web servers, records technical information about visits — including IP address, browser type, pages visited and timestamps. This is used for security and performance monitoring only and is not combined with other identifying information. The lawful basis is Article 6(1)(f), our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and functional.

Third-party resources loaded by the site

Our website loads the following third-party resources, which means your browser contacts these providers directly and reveals your IP address to them:

Web fonts (DM Sans and Inter) are served directly from this site rather than from Google Fonts, so your IP address is not disclosed to Google when loading typography. We are working to reduce the remaining third-party dependencies over time by self-hosting the assets we rely on. No cookies or analytics tracking are currently set by our site.

Cookies

This site uses a single strictly-necessary item of browser storage to remember that you have seen and acknowledged our cookie notice. It is stored in your browser’s localStorage under the key dataigent_cookie_notice_v2, contains only a timestamp of when the notice was dismissed, and is not transmitted to our server or to any third party.

Because this storage is strictly necessary to deliver the cookie notice itself, it is exempt from consent under Regulation 6(4) of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). You can clear it at any time using your browser’s site-data controls; doing so will simply cause the notice to appear again on your next visit. You can also re-open the notice at any time using the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.

No analytics, marketing, advertising, or tracking cookies are set by this site. Some third-party resources loaded by the site (listed above) may set cookies of their own when your browser contacts those servers. If our cookie usage changes in future — for example, if we deploy analytics — this notice and the cookie controls on the site will be updated accordingly and your active consent will be requested at that point.

How long we keep your data

We retain contact form submissions and email correspondence for as long as needed to respond to your enquiry, and for up to 24 months afterwards for record-keeping purposes. After that, we delete the data unless a longer retention period is required to meet legal or contractual obligations.

Sharing your data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share limited data with:

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

To exercise any of these rights, email hello@dataigent.com.

International transfers

Some of the third-party services listed above are operated by companies based outside the UK, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred to such countries it is done under the terms of those providers' standard contractual safeguards.

Changes to this notice

We may update this notice from time to time. The "last updated" date above will reflect the most recent change.
