5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Strictly necessary cookies — required for the website and shopping cart/checkout to function (e.g. WooCommerce session and cart cookies). These cannot be switched off and do not require consent.
- Analytics cookies — Google Analytics (via Site Kit / MonsterInsights), used to understand how visitors use our site.
- Advertising/marketing cookies — Meta (Facebook) Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Snapchat Pixel, and Reddit Pixel, used to measure ad performance and show you relevant ads on those platforms.
- Functional cookies — used by tools such as our on-site popups (OptinMonster) and performance/security tools (Jetpack, Akismet spam filtering).
When you first visit our site, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential (analytics and advertising) cookies. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your cookies and revisiting the site, or through your browser’s privacy settings. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies — refer to your browser’s help pages for instructions. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of the shopping cart and checkout.
6. Third Parties We Share Data With
We use the following third-party services to operate our website, process payments, and support our marketing. Each processes data under its own privacy policy:
- Google (Analytics, Site Kit, reCAPTCHA where applicable) — website analytics
- Meta (Facebook) — advertising and domain verification
- TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit — advertising pixels
- Mailchimp — email newsletter delivery
- Ninja Forms / Cognito Forms — contact form processing (data is submitted to us via these tools, hosted on our WordPress site)

- OptinMonster — on-site popups and lead capture
We only share the personal data necessary for each provider to perform its function, and we have agreements or rely on each provider’s standard terms to ensure your data is protected.
7. International Data Transfers
Some of the third parties listed above (including Google, Meta, TikTok, and PayPal) are based in, or transfer data to, the United States or other countries outside the European Economic Area / United Kingdom. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards those providers make available, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent frameworks, to ensure your data continues to be protected to EU/UK standards.
8. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EEA or UK (and as a matter of good practice for all visitors), you have the following rights over your personal data:
- Right to Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Right to Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Right to Erasure — ask us to delete your personal data, subject to legal exceptions
- Right to Restrict Processing — ask us to limit how we use your data
- Right to Data Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Right to Object — object to processing based on legitimate interest or for direct marketing
- Right to Withdraw Consent — where processing is based on consent (e.g. newsletters, marketing cookies), withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal
- Right to Lodge a Complaint — with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe we have not handled your data properly
To exercise any of these rights, email us at creativefocusdigital@gmail.com. We will respond within one month, as required by GDPR.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy: contact form and enquiry data is generally retained for up to 24 months; order and invoicing data is retained as required by applicable tax and accounting law (typically 7 years); newsletter and lead-magnet data is retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent. After the relevant retention period, data is deleted or anonymized.
10. Data Security
We use technical and organizational measures — including secure hosting, restricted access, and reputable third-party processors — to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are not directed at children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.
