Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 July 2026. This policy applies to all website visitors and clients who contact Doug's SQL for database design, optimisation, or DBeaver support. Want the short version? We only use information to answer you and do the work you asked for.

Information collection

Information We Collect

We keep collection narrow on purpose. Why ask for more than we need?

Information you choose to send

Name, email address, phone number, and message content when you submit a contact form or service enquiry. That’s the core of our contact form privacy practice.

Basic technical data

IP address, browser type, device details, and pages visited may be collected for security, diagnostics, and anonymised analytics.

What we do not collect

We do not ask for sensitive personal data such as Social Security numbers, payment card details, or anything unrelated to database services.

Data protection usage

How We Use Your Data

The purpose is practical, not flashy. We use your information to respond, improve, and keep things secure. Anything else? Only if you say yes.

Respond to your enquiry

We use your details to answer questions, schedule follow-up conversations, and scope services that fit your database setup.

Improve the website

Anonymised usage data helps us understand which pages are useful and where the site needs sharper explanations.

Send service updates only when requested

If you opt in, we may send occasional project-related or service-related updates. We don’t sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.

Your rights

Your Rights & Choices

Review your data

Ask what information we hold, and we’ll explain it clearly.

Request deletion

You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

Opt out easily

You can stop future communications without a long process.

We’re serious about privacy, but we don’t hide behind heavy legalese. Your information is used carefully, protected sensibly, and never treated like a product.
