This notice explains how Design Tribe collects, uses and protects personal information when you visit designtribe.co.uk or contact us. Last updated: 12 October 2026.

Who we are

Design Tribe is the trading name of Design Tribe UK Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 06761438. Our address is The Maltings, East Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF24 5EA. We are the controller of the personal information described here.

If you have any questions about this notice or your information, email studio@designtribe.co.uk or call 02922 80 18 43.

Information you give us

When you use our contact form, we collect your name, organisation, email address, phone number if you provide it, the type of help you need, details of your project and an approximate budget. We use this to reply to your enquiry and, if we work together, to plan and deliver the project.

Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries and, where a project goes ahead, taking steps to enter into and perform a contract with you. We also hold information you send us directly by email or phone, for the same purposes.

Where your information is stored

Form submissions are emailed to us, stored within our website and recorded in Airtable, which we use to manage enquiries. Email is handled by Google Workspace. The website is hosted by WP Engine. Some of these providers may store data outside the UK. Where they do, they use safeguards recognised under UK data protection law, such as the International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

We do not sell your information or share it for marketing.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiries and client records for as long as they are useful for our business relationship, our accounts and our legal obligations. We review what we hold from time to time and delete information we no longer need. You can ask us to delete your information at any time.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:

  • Necessary cookies, which keep the site secure and working, including remembering your cookie choices. These are always on.
  • Analytics cookies from Google Analytics, which tell us how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed. We only set these if you accept them.

You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings button on this site.

Google Analytics

If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, your approximate location and the type of device you use. We use this only to understand and improve the site. Google processes this information on our behalf. You can read more in Google’s privacy policy.

reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our forms from spam. It collects information about your device and how you interact with the page. This is subject to Google’s privacy policy and terms of service.

Security

We use Wordfence to protect the site, which records visitors’ IP addresses to block malicious activity. We keep the site, plugins and hosting up to date, and limit access to personal information to those who need it.

Links to other websites

Some pages link to other websites, such as our social media profiles and client sites. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for how they handle your information.

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:

  • access the personal information we hold about you
  • ask us to correct anything that is inaccurate
  • ask us to delete your information
  • object to or restrict how we use it
  • ask for a copy of your information in a portable format

To make a request, email studio@designtribe.co.uk. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint or on 0303 123 1113.
