Privacy

Privacy policy

chrimes.dev is a small UK services business. We collect the smallest amount of data we can reasonably get away with. This page is a complete, honest account of what that is — under UK GDPR we have to tell you, and we’d rather the answer fit on one page than read like a terms-of-service tome.

Last updated:

Who we are

chrimes.dev is operated by Adam Chrimes, based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. For the purposes of UK GDPR we are the data controller for any personal data described in this policy. You can contact us at adam@chrimes.dev.

What we collect

Contact form submissions

When you use the form at the bottom of the homepage we receive the name, email address, company (optional) and message you provide.

  • Lawful basis: legitimate interest — responding to an enquiry you initiated. UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(f).
  • How it’s sent: via Resend, a transactional email provider we use as a processor. Resend is based in the United States; data is transferred under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.
  • Retention:the email sits in our inbox for as long as we reasonably need it to follow up the conversation, and in Resend’s delivery logs according to their retention schedule. If you want it deleted, email us and we’ll delete it.

Anonymous website analytics

We use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to measure how the site is used and how fast it loads for real visitors. Neither product uses cookies, neither tracks users across sites, and neither collects personal data in the UK GDPR sense — visitor counts are derived from a daily-rotating hash that cannot be reversed to identify anyone.

  • Lawful basis: legitimate interest — understanding site traffic and performance, with minimal privacy impact.
  • What’s collected: page URL, referrer, country, device/browser category, and Core Web Vitals measurements (LCP, INP, CLS).
  • Because no personal data is collected and no cookies are set, this doesn’t require a cookie banner or your consent under UK law.

Server logs

Our hosting provider, Vercel, keeps short-term request logs (IP address, URL, response code, timestamp, user-agent) so the service can be operated, secured and debugged. We don’t analyse these ourselves and they aren’t linked to any other dataset. Retention follows Vercel’s own schedule.

Our free tools

The tools at chrimes.dev/tools let you submit a URL so we can scan it. The URL you submit is used only to run the scan you requested and isn’t stored anywhere by us once the result is returned. We don’t track which URLs any individual has submitted.

Who we share data with

We use a small number of service providers — “processors” in UK GDPR terms — to run the site. Each one handles your data under its own agreement with us, in line with UK GDPR Art. 28.

VercelUnited States
Hosting, analytics, performance monitoring.
ResendUnited States
Transactional email delivery for contact-form submissions.
Google PageSpeed InsightsUnited States / global
Performance and accessibility scans triggered by our free tools. Only the URL you submit is shared; no personal data about you.

We do not sell your data, and we don’t share it with any provider not listed above.

International transfers

The processors above are based in the United States. Personal data transferred to them is protected by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and the UK extension to it, plus Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable. Where we have a choice, we prefer providers that offer EU/UK data-residency options.

Cookies

chrimes.dev does not set tracking cookies. Our analytics are cookie-less by design. A cookie banner would be theatre we can’t in good conscience put you through when the only honest answer is: there are no cookies to consent to.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

  • Know what personal data we hold about you (access).
  • Ask us to correct data that’s wrong (rectification).
  • Ask us to delete your data (erasure), where one of the UK GDPR grounds applies.
  • Object to our processing where we’re relying on legitimate interest.
  • Ask for a copy of the data in a portable format (portability).
  • Withdraw any consent you’ve given, at any time.

Email adam@chrimes.dev to exercise any of these. We’ll respond within one month, as required by UK GDPR Art. 12.

Complaints

If you’re not happy with how we’ve handled your data, please let us know first — we’d rather fix something than have you feel unheard. If you’re still not satisfied, you have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office:

Changes to this policy

If we materially change what we do with personal data, we’ll update this page and refresh the “last updated” date at the top. We won’t change the lawful basis for existing data retroactively — anything that pre-dates a change stays on the terms it was collected under.
