TAPFOUNDRY / WEBSITE INFORMATION
Privacy notice
This notice covers TapFoundry’s informational website and project enquiries. Individual applications and client projects need their own relevant privacy information; this notice does not cover their users or data.
Who is responsible
TapFoundry is owned and operated by Dasher Consulting Ltd, which is responsible for personal information handled in relation to this site and its enquiries. The registered office is 86–90 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NE, United Kingdom. Contact hello@dasher.consulting with privacy questions.
Information and purposes
Website browsing
- Information
- Hosting requests can include your IP address, requested page, request time, browser or device information and referring page.
- Purpose
- Deliver the website, keep it secure and investigate technical problems.
Email enquiries
- Information
- Your name, contact details, organisation and the information you choose to send.
- Purpose
- Answer your enquiry, understand the proposed work and discuss next steps.
A project that proceeds
- Information
- Agreed business contacts and project correspondence.
- Purpose
- Arrange and perform the agreed work. Additional processing and terms are assessed for that project.
The website does not have accounts, enquiry forms, payment processing, analytics or advertising trackers. Email links open your email application; you must send the message yourself. Please do not include passwords, sensitive personal information or confidential customer material in an initial enquiry.
Lawful bases
We rely on legitimate interests to deliver and secure this website, answer requested business enquiries and manage relevant business relationships. The interests are responding to the request, discussing appropriate work and protecting business communications. Information should be limited to what is necessary for those purposes.
Where an individual asks for steps towards their own contract, or that contract is being performed, the contractual basis may apply. Records required by law are handled under the relevant legal obligation. We do not use an enquiry as permission for unrelated marketing.
Providers, recipients and international processing
Vercel hosts this static website and provides content delivery and security services. Microsoft provides our existing business email service. We do not operate a website enquiry database, analytics service or advertising system. Authorised business personnel handle correspondence; professional advisers or authorities may receive information where necessary for their role or a legal obligation.
These providers operate internationally, including in the United States and other locations used by their service providers. We do not claim that all processing stays in the UK. For relevant transfers, provider data-processing terms include standard contractual clauses and the UK international data transfer addendum. You can ask us for information about applicable safeguards. See Vercel’s data-processing terms and Microsoft’s data-processing terms.
Vercel also handles certain service-generated technical information for its own delivery, security and legal purposes as described in its privacy notice.
How long information is kept
We keep unsuccessful enquiries for no more than 12 months after the last substantive contact and remove them earlier when they are no longer needed. Specific contract, statutory or dispute requirements can justify keeping particular records longer, with the purpose and period documented separately. Removal from active records is distinct from a provider’s recovery, backup or legal-hold processes.
We do not export routine visitor logs into a separate contact database. Hosting technical records are retained according to the service’s operational and security needs, applicable provider terms and legal obligations; this is separate from our enquiry retention period. If we retain a specific incident record, we review it when the incident is resolved and keep only what remains necessary for security, legal or dispute purposes. Provider recovery, backup and legal-hold processes can retain restricted copies after active records are removed.
Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have rights to access your personal information, correct inaccurate information, request erasure, restrict processing, object to processing and receive portable information where that right applies. These rights are subject to the applicable conditions and exceptions. Where processing relies on consent, consent can be withdrawn without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Contact hello@dasher.consulting to make a request. We may need proportionate information to confirm your identity. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK data protection regulator.
Your right to object
You can object to processing based on legitimate interests for reasons relating to your particular situation. Email hello@dasher.consulting to explain your objection. We will consider whether the processing must stop under the applicable rules.
Your choices
You choose what to send. Without enough contact or project information, we may be unable to answer meaningfully. We do not use this website for automated decisions about people or for profiling.
Changes to this notice
