Your privacy.

What this website learns about you, and what happens to a brief you choose to send, in plain words.

The short version: nothing leaves your device until you press Send my brief. There are no cookies, no analytics, no tracking and no advertising.

  1. Who is responsible for my information?

    SR7 Web Design, the studio of George Metcalf in Seaham, County Durham. NVS is its studio project.

    In the words of UK data protection law, SR7 Web Design is the controller of anything you send through this website. You can write to George at info@sr7webdesign.co.uk, and the studio's own website is sr7webdesign.co.uk.

  2. Is NVS a travel company?

    No. NVS is a studio project. It sells no travel and takes no payment.

    If you send a brief, it is read by SR7 Web Design, and any reply comes from the studio, not from a travel company.

  3. What do you collect?

    Only what you type into Send my brief, and the brief itself.

    That is your name, your email address, a phone number if you choose to give one, the best time to talk if you say one, and your journey brief: the place, the letter, your answers and the things you chose to keep. You do not need to tell us anything sensitive, such as details of your health, and we would rather you did not.

  4. Why, and on what legal ground?

    To read your brief and to reply to you. Nothing else.

    The legal ground is your consent, which you give by ticking the box before you send. You can withdraw it at any time by writing to us, and we will delete your brief. You will not be added to a mailing list, and your details are never sold or passed on for marketing.

  5. What stays on my device?

    Everything, until you choose to send.

    While you plan, your answers, the few words you type into the planner's own questions, and the things you keep along the way in each journey are held in this browser tab only, for as long as the tab stays open. Leave the planner and come back, and your plan is as you left it. Choose Begin again, or close the tab, and they are gone. Once a brief is sent, its reference is held with the plan in the same way.

    Your name, email address, telephone number and best time to talk are never stored in your browser at all. They stay on the page until you press Send, and a reload clears them.

    One small thing is remembered on your device for longer: whether you turned the sound on, and how loud. It is never sent to us, and clearing your browser's site data removes it.

    This website sets no cookies. It has no analytics, no tracking and no advertising, and its pages load nothing from other companies: the type, the photographs and the film are all served from the site itself.

  6. Where does my brief go?

    Into one email, sent by this website to SR7 Web Design. The website keeps no copy.

    Two kinds of company handle it on the way, each working for SR7: the company that hosts this website and sends the email, and the email provider that holds the studio's mailbox. Nobody else receives it, and no decision about you is made by a machine.

    To stop the form being abused, the server notes a scrambled, one-way code made from the internet address a brief came from, together with the time. It holds no name and no brief, it is ignored after an hour, and it is deleted the next time the form is used. Like every website, the hosting company's servers also keep a routine technical log of requests.

  7. How long do you keep it?

    For up to twelve months, in the studio's mailbox, and then it is deleted.

    If you would like it deleted sooner, say so and it will be.

  8. What are my rights?

    You can ask to see what we hold about you, have it corrected, have it deleted, or have a copy to take elsewhere.

    You can also ask us to stop using it, or to use it less, and you can withdraw your consent whenever you wish. How to do it: write to info@sr7webdesign.co.uk. There is no charge, and you will have an answer within one month.

  9. And if I am not satisfied?

    Tell us first, and we will try to put it right.

    You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's independent authority for data protection, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.
