Last updated: 30 July 2026
Godding Illustrations respects your privacy and handles your personal information carefully. This privacy policy explains what information is collected through this website and how it is used.
Who is responsible for your data?
Godding Illustrations, operated by Sammy Godding, is responsible for the processing of personal data through this website.

What information do I collect?
When you use the contact form or contact me by email, I may receive:
Your name
Your email address
The contents of your message
Any other information you choose to provide
Why do I use this information?
I use this information only to:
Respond to your enquiry
Communicate with you about a possible project or collaboration
Provide services you have requested
Keep necessary business and financial records
The legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering into an agreement, performing an agreement, or my legitimate interest in responding to business enquiries.
Contact form submissions
Messages submitted through the contact form are processed by Squarespace and delivered to my business email address.
I have not connected additional Squarespace storage for contact-form submissions. Squarespace acts as a service provider for the operation and hosting of this website.
How long do I keep your information?
General enquiries that do not lead to a project will usually be deleted within one year after our last contact.
When an enquiry results in paid work, certain information may be kept longer where necessary for administration, contracts, invoices and legal tax obligations.
Personal data should not be kept for longer than necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Cookies & analytics
This website may use necessary cookies to function correctly and optional cookies for website analytics.
Optional cookies will only be used according to the choices you make through the cookie banner. More information about the cookies used on this website can be found through the cookie settings.
Squarespace provides the website hosting and cookie-consent tools
Sharing your information
I do not sell your personal information.
Your information may be processed by service providers that are necessary for operating my business, such as Squarespace and my email provider. I only share information when necessary to provide my services or comply with a legal obligation.
Your privacy rights
You may ask me to:
Show you what personal information I hold about you
