Privacy policy.

Who we are

WebDev Wales is a trading name of Hobbl Ltd (company no. 14491539), registered at 28 Whitting Street, Glynneath, SA11 5DH. Hobbl Ltdis the data controller for personal data collected through this website and is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office under reference ZC118827. You can reach us at dev@webdevwales.com or 07916 214 843.

What we collect

• Details you give us through the contact form or project planner: your name, email, phone number, business name and whatever you tell us about your project, including answers such as your industry, goals and budget range.
• Anything you send us directly by email or tell us by phone.
• Anonymous usage statistics about how this site is used, collected only if you consent through the cookie banner. Our analytics (Vercel Analytics) does not use cookies and does not identify you.
• Spam-protection signals when you submit a form, such as how long the form took to complete and, where Google reCAPTCHA runs, a score from Google indicating whether the submission looks automated.

How we use it, and our lawful bases

• Answering your enquiry and preparing a quote: our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us, and steps taken at your request before entering a contract.
• Delivering services to clients: performance of our contract with you.
• Site analytics: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time through the cookie preferences panel.
• Preventing spam and abuse: our legitimate interest in keeping our forms usable.
• Keeping business records: our legal obligations, for example tax and accounting law.

We do not use your data for marketing lists, and we never sell it.

Who we share it with

We use a small number of trusted processors to run this site: Vercel (website hosting and, with your consent, cookieless analytics), Resend (delivers enquiry emails to us and your confirmation email to you) and Google (reCAPTCHA spam protection on our enquiry form; when it runs, Google receives connection information as described in the Google privacy policy). Beyond that, data leaves us only if the law requires it.

International transfers

Some of our processors, including Vercel, Resend and Google, may process data in the United States. Where that happens, transfers are protected by UK GDPR safeguards, such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK’s international data transfer agreement.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries that do not become client work: up to 24 months, then deleted.
• Client records, contracts and invoices: for the length of our relationship and up to six years afterwards, as tax and company law require.
• Analytics: anonymous and aggregated from the start; there is nothing to delete about you.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these, email dev@webdevwales.com and we will respond within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, although we would appreciate the chance to sort it out first.

Cookies and similar technologies

This site sets almost nothing. Your cookie choices are stored in your own browser, our analytics is cookieless and runs only with your consent, and Google reCAPTCHA may set cookies only when the enquiry form runs its spam check. The full list and your controls are in our cookie policy.

When we work for your business

Where we manage services on behalf of a client, for example a Google Business Profile or a client’s website analytics, we act as a processor on that client’s instructions. Personal data we encounter in that work, such as customer reviews, is handled only for the agreed purpose and never used for anything of ours.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle personal data, this page changes with it and the date at the top is updated. Questions about anything here: dev@webdevwales.com.
