Privacy & Cookies.
This policy explains how Performify Limited collects, uses, and protects information when you visit performify.co.uk. It's written to be plain-English. If anything is unclear, email hello@performify.co.uk and I'll answer.
Who we are
The data controller for this site is Performify Limited, a company registered in England & Wales, company number 12000193. You can contact me about anything in this policy at hello@performify.co.uk. Postal address is available on request.
What information is collected
This site is a brochure for a performance marketing consultancy. It has no accounts, no forms, and no transactions. The information collected is limited to:
- Analytics data when you consent to it: pages viewed, approximate location (country and region from IP), device type, browser, referrer, and interactions such as clicks and scroll depth. Collected via Google Analytics 4.
- Edge-level site usage from Cloudflare, which serves this site: pageviews, referrers, countries, and device types, in aggregate form without cookies.
- Direct contact information you choose to share when you email hello@performify.co.uk or book a meeting via Calendly. This is whatever you voluntarily put in the message: your name, email, company, and the substance of your enquiry.
How the information is used
- Analytics data is used to understand which content is useful, which isn't, and how to improve the site.
- Edge-level Cloudflare data is used for security, availability, and performance monitoring.
- Contact information is used to respond to your enquiry and, if relevant, to scope potential consulting work.
No data is used for profiling, automated decision-making, or advertising. The site does not run advertising pixels.
Lawful basis
- Analytics cookies: your consent under PECR, collected via the consent banner the first time you visit.
- Essential cookies and edge-level data: legitimate interests (keeping the site secure and available).
- Contact information: legitimate interests in responding to a business enquiry you initiated, or performance of a contract if we begin working together.

Cloudflare Web Analytics, which runs at the edge, does not set cookies and does not collect personal data.
Who we share data with
- Google processes GA4 analytics data under a Data Processing Addendum. Data is aggregated and anonymised. IP addresses are shortened before storage.
- Cloudflare processes edge-level site data as the site's hosting and CDN provider, under their standard terms.
- Calendly, if you book a meeting via a Calendly link, handles that booking under their privacy policy.
Data may be transferred outside the UK as part of these services. All three providers maintain UK GDPR compliance via Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK International Data Transfer Agreement.
No data is sold to third parties or shared for advertising purposes.
How long data is kept
- GA4 analytics: 14 months (configured to the minimum retention period supported).
- Edge-level Cloudflare data: retained by Cloudflare according to their standard retention schedules.
- Contact emails: kept for as long as our business relationship continues, and for up to seven years afterwards where retention is required for tax and accounting purposes. Non-progressing enquiries are deleted within 12 months.
- Consent preferences: 1 year on your device, after which you will be asked again.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you
- ask for inaccurate data to be corrected
- ask for your data to be deleted, where we have no legal basis to retain it
- object to how we process your data
