Who I am

I’m Dara Phillips, a web designer in Limerick, Ireland, and I’m responsible for the details you share here. Questions or requests: daraphillips.design@gmail.com(copy to clipboard)

When you book a call

I collect your name and email, and anything optional you add: business, current website, phone, message, and your answers to the quick questions. If you use Build your estimate, that includes the size and extras you chose, the price range it showed and the closest package. I also note your time zone and, if you came from one of my links, which one.

I use these only to arrange and prepare for our call, and to email you the confirmation. That’s a step you’ve asked for before any agreement between us, which is the legal basis for it.

How long I keep it

• Booking details are deleted automatically 12 months after the call.
• Emails about the booking are deleted from my inbox on the same schedule.
• If we work together, project and invoice records are kept for 6 years, as Irish tax law requires.

Cookies and analytics

Only if you say yes, Google Analytics counts your visit, so I can see which pages help people book a call. It sets two cookies (_ga and _ga_…). Google keeps this data for no longer than 14 months.

Say no and no analytics cookies are set. You can change your answer at any time with the cookie settings button in the footer. Turning it off deletes the cookies.

Your browser also remembers two settings for this site: the design style you picked and your cookie answer. While you plan your website, it keeps your answers too, in that tab only, until you close it or book. None of this is sent to me unless you book.

Keeping bots out

To stop automated bookings blocking the calendar, the booking pages use Google reCAPTCHA. It runs invisibly and sends Google information about your device and how the page is used, to tell people from bots. It runs only on pages that book calls or show available times, because protecting the booking system is necessary for it to work. Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms apply.

Where it’s stored

Bookings are stored in the EU with Google Firebase. Emails go through Gmail. Google handles this data for me under its data processing terms. No one else gets it.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete what I hold about you, or object to how I use it. Email me and I’ll reply within a month. If you’re not happy with my answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission.
