Privacy policy

Last updated: 6 July 2026

Who I am

MHDev is Martin Holecek, a sole trader based in the Derby area, UK, building custom admin dashboards and internal business systems. For anything relating to this policy or your personal information, email [email protected]. I’m the “data controller” for personal information collected through this website.

What information I collect

Only what you choose to send me through the contact form:

If we continue the conversation by email, I’ll also hold that correspondence. This website has no user accounts, no newsletter, and no marketing list. Like most websites, the infrastructure that serves the site (Cloudflare) keeps short-lived technical logs — such as IP address and browser type — for security and performance.

Why I collect it

I use your details to reply to your enquiry and discuss a potential project — in UK GDPR terms, taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b)) — and on the basis of my legitimate interest in running the business and keeping a record of enquiries (Article 6(1)(f)). I don’t use your details for marketing, and I never sell or share them for advertising.

Who handles the data

A small number of service providers process data on my behalf:

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no cookies. I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see overall visitor numbers — a privacy-first tool that uses no cookies, doesn’t fingerprint your device, and doesn’t follow you across other websites. It shows me anonymous, aggregate figures (page views, referrers, countries), never a profile of you. There are no advertising trackers.

How long I keep it

Enquiry details are kept for up to 24 months from our last contact, so I can pick the conversation back up if your project resurfaces. If we end up working together, records are kept for the length of the engagement and any legal record-keeping period. Ask at any time and I’ll delete your details sooner.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask me to access, correct, delete, or restrict the personal information I hold about you, object to my processing of it, or ask for a copy in a portable format. Email [email protected] and I’ll respond promptly. If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

If anything changes — for example, if I switch to a different analytics tool — I’ll update this page and the date at the top.

This policy covers the mhdev.co.uk website only. Client systems that MHDev builds and hosts have their own arrangements, agreed per project.
