This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we look after it. We keep it in plain English, because privacy shouldn't be buried in jargon.

Copper Badger is a visibility growth agency based in the United Kingdom, helping businesses get found across Google, AI search and the web. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Copper Badger.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, Copper Badger is the "data controller" responsible for your personal data.
Copper Badger is run as a sole trader in the UK. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us any time at hello@copperbadger.co.uk.
We only collect what we need to respond to you and run our business well. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:
We use the information we collect to:
We will never sell your personal data, and we won't send you marketing you haven't asked for.
Under UK GDPR we rely on the following lawful bases:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. Ever.
To run our business we rely on a small number of trusted providers, such as our email and website hosting and the service that delivers our contact form. These providers only process your information on our instructions and solely so we can respond to you and operate the website. We may also share information with our accountant or other professional advisers where we're legally required to.
Separately, when we work with a client we often set up tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console on that client's own website, so we can measure and improve the work we're doing for them. That's part of our service to clients and doesn't involve sharing your enquiry with anyone.
We keep your information only for as long as we need it. Enquiry messages are kept while we're in contact and for a reasonable period afterwards in case you get back in touch. Client records are kept for the length of our relationship and for as long as we're legally required to afterwards, typically for accounting purposes. After that, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Under UK data protection law you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, just email hello@copperbadger.co.uk and we'll help. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, though we'd always appreciate the chance to put things right first.
We take sensible steps to protect your information from being lost, misused or accessed without authorisation, including using reputable, secure providers and limiting who can access personal data. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work hard to protect your data and to respond quickly if anything ever goes wrong.
We may update this policy from time to time as our business or the law changes. When we do, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of the page. We'd encourage you to check back occasionally.
If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your information, we'd genuinely like to hear from you. Email us at hello@copperbadger.co.uk and a real person will reply.
