Privacy Policy
Northforge Dynamics is the controller of personal data collected through this website and its contact channels.
This policy explains what personal data may be collected, why it is used, how it may be stored, how long it may be retained, and the rights available to individuals under applicable data protection law, including UK GDPR and, where relevant, EU GDPR.
For privacy questions, Northforge Dynamics can be contacted at contact@northforgedynamics.com.
1. What information may be collected
Northforge Dynamics does not ask for confidential, sensitive, or special-category personal data in an initial enquiry.
- your name
- your email address
- your company or organisation name
- the content of your enquiry or message
- basic technical data associated with website access or hosting, such as IP address, browser type, timestamps, visited pages, or error logs
2. How the information may be used
Northforge Dynamics does not use personal data for vague or unrelated marketing purposes.
- to respond to enquiries
- to assess project fit or service relevance
- to communicate about services or business matters
- to maintain business records
- to support website security, stability, and technical operation
- to improve the functioning of the website where appropriate
3. Lawful bases for processing
Where personal data is processed, Northforge Dynamics will generally rely on one or more lawful bases permitted by applicable law, including legitimate interests, steps taken at the request of the data subject before entering into a contract, and consent where consent is specifically required.
Where processing depends on consent, that consent may be withdrawn at any time, although this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
4. Sharing and processors
Northforge Dynamics does not share customer, business, or personal data with third parties for their own independent purposes.
Where service providers or processors are used for hosting, communication, or other technical business functions, they will be used only where appropriate to the operation of the business and subject to reasonable data-protection safeguards.
Northforge Dynamics does not position third-party systems as the owner of its business data or client relationship.
5. International transfers
If personal data is processed outside the UK or EEA, Northforge Dynamics will use appropriate safeguards recognised by law, which may include contractual protections or other permitted transfer mechanisms.
6. Retention
Enquiry records and related personal data will be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary.
If a longer retention period is necessary for a specific legal, operational, or evidential reason, the data will be retained only for that reason and no longer than needed.
- to respond to the enquiry
- to maintain business records
- to support operational or legal requirements
7. Cookies and tracking
At present, this website does not intentionally rely on advertising pixels, behavioural profiling tools, or analytics cookies of the kind normally associated with tracking-heavy marketing systems.
If this changes in a material way, the website and this policy should be updated accordingly.
8. Sensitive data
Please do not send confidential, sensitive, or special-category personal data through the initial enquiry channel unless it is strictly necessary and appropriate safeguards are in place.
If a matter requires more careful handling, it should be addressed through a more suitable channel and with clearer boundaries.
9. Rights
Requests may be sent to contact@northforgedynamics.com.
- request access to personal data
- request correction of inaccurate data
- request deletion of data in some circumstances
- object to certain processing
- request restriction of processing
- request portability where applicable
- withdraw consent where consent is the relevant lawful basis

11. Policy updates
This policy may be updated from time to time if the website, legal requirements, or handling practices change.
The current public version of the policy should be treated as the active version unless and until replaced.
