Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

3 Wee Pages is a product of Towpath Digital Ltd (“we”, “us”), registered in England & Wales, company number 16913912, at Huntingdon Boathaven, Godmanchester, PE29 2AF.

For the personal data described here, Towpath Digital Ltd is the data controller. Any question at all, email hello@3weepages.co.uk and a real person will reply.

2. What we collect

Only what we need to build your website and register your domain.

What	Why we need it
Your name and business name	To register the domain in your name and write your pages
Email, phone, preferred contact method	To send your draft, ask questions, and reach you about your site
Business address (street, town, postcode)	Required by Nominet to register a .co.uk — and shown on your site only if you want it to be
Your chosen domain name	To check it's free and register it
Your brief, services, prices, colours, message to your Pal	To write and design your three pages
Website usage (see §6)	To see which pages people actually find useful

While you're filling in the order form, a draft is saved in your own browser (local storage) so you don't lose your place. It stays on your device and isn't sent to us until you submit.

3. Our lawful bases

• Contract (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) — to build your site, register your domain, host it and support you.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — to keep financial records for HMRC.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — to keep the service secure and working, and to reply when you contact us.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for analytics cookies, which you can refuse (§6).

4. Payments

Card payments are processed by Stripe, on Stripe's own secure checkout. 3 Wee Pages never receives, stores or has access to your full card number or security code. We're told only that a payment succeeded, the amount, and the date. Stripe handles your data under its own privacy policy.

5. Your domain and Nominet

When we register a .co.uk for you, it goes in your name — you are the Registrant and you own it from day one. We're listed as the Admin/Tech/Billing contact, which just means we handle DNS, email forwarding and renewals for you.

To do that we must pass your name and address to Nominet UK, the official registry for .co.uk. Nominet is a separate data controller and handles that data under its own rules. This is unavoidable — nobody can register a .co.uk without it.

If you leave, we release the IPS tag and the domain goes with you. See our Terms.

6. Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful. It sets cookies and shares usage data with Google. It tells us “40 people read the pricing page” — not who you are.

The site sits behind Cloudflare, which sets a strictly necessary cookie to keep it fast and protected.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser at any time, or use a tracker blocker — the site still works. We do not use advertising cookies, we don't run ads, and we don't sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers. Ever.

7. Who we share data with

• Stripe — card payments
• Nominet UK — .co.uk registration (§5)
• Cloudflare — security, DNS and delivery
• Google Analytics — usage statistics
• Our email provider, to send your draft and our replies

We do not sell your data. We do not share it for marketing. We do not pass it to any other Towpath product (GotAPal, ServicePay) unless you sign up for that yourself.

8. Where your data lives

Your site and its data are hosted on UK servers, with SSL on by default. Some processors (Google, for example) may transfer data outside the UK; where they do, they rely on the UK's approved safeguards.

9. How long we keep it

• Order and site content — while you're a customer, and 12 months after you leave, so we can help if you come back.
• Invoices and payment records — 7 years, because HMRC requires it. That's a legal obligation and applies even if you ask us to delete everything else.
• Domain registration data — held by Nominet while the domain is registered, under their rules.
• Analytics — retained by Google under its standard GA4 retention.

10. Your rights

Under UK GDPR you can ask us to: show you what we hold, correct anything wrong, delete it (subject to the 7-year records above), restrict or stop using it, hand it over so you can take it elsewhere, or withdraw consent for analytics.

Email hello@3weepages.co.uk and we'll do it. We'll respond within one month, and it's free.

11. Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS/SSL), access is limited to the people who need it, and we keep backups so your site can be restored if something breaks.

12. Complaints

If you think we've got this wrong, tell us first — we'd rather fix it. If you're still unhappy you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, or 0303 123 1113.

13. Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top, and email customers if it's a significant change.
