Who I am
Lampfront is a one-person web design studio run by Dawson Smith. Contact: hello@lampfront.com.
What this site collects
Only what you type into the contact form or the free site review form: your name, business name, email address, website (optional on the contact form) and message. I use it to reply to you and, if you become a client, to start the work. I do not sell it or add you to a mailing list.
Both forms are processed by Netlify, which hosts this site. Netlify stores form submissions in my Netlify account, where I review them. Netlify Forms also runs each submission through spam filtering (by default Akismet, a third-party spam service), so the content of your message may be checked for spam. I also use an AI assistant (Claude, made by Anthropic) to help me sort enquiries and draft replies, so the text of your message is sent to Anthropic and handled under its privacy policy (anthropic.com/privacy). I read and approve every reply myself before it is sent. If I reply, our conversation continues by email from hello@lampfront.com. Netlify keeps standard server logs, which can include your IP address, for a limited period under its own policy.
Cookies and tracking
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics, advertising or tracking scripts. Fonts are hosted on this site, so your browser makes no requests to third parties when a page loads. That is why there is no cookie banner. If that changes, this page and the site will be updated first.
How long I keep it
I keep enquiries while we talk and, if you become a client, for the length of the work. Enquiries that go nowhere are deleted after 12 months, from Netlify, from any email replies and from my own notes and assistant logs. Client contracts, invoices and project emails are kept 7 years after the work ends, for tax and legal records.
Your rights
You can ask me what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email hello@lampfront.com. Depending on where you live you may also be able to complain to your local data protection authority.
Links to other sites
The portfolio links to three concept sites. They are separate sites, and each has its own privacy page.
