Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 2026
Who we are
Léyo Creative Studio is a UK sole trader providing graphic design, brand identity, property and estate-agent photography, web design, vehicle livery, animation, and related creative services.
Our website is https://leyodesign.art/ (email domain leyodesign.art). For privacy queries contact info@leyodesign.art or call 0116 384 8165.
Data we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may process:
- Contact details — name, business name, email, phone, postal address
- Project information — briefs, files, invoices, correspondence
- Website technical data — limited server logs if you visit this site (see Cookies)
- Marketing outreach — business email addresses and agency names used for B2B introduction emails (see B2B marketing)
We do not knowingly collect special category data through this website.
Lawful basis (UK GDPR)
We rely on different lawful bases depending on the activity:
- Contract — to deliver creative work you have commissioned
- Legitimate interests — to respond to enquiries, manage projects, issue invoices, and send relevant B2B marketing to corporate contacts (balanced against your rights)
- Legal obligation — tax and accounting records
- Consent — where you have clearly opted in (e.g. optional marketing to personal addresses)
B2B marketing emails (PECR)
We may send introductory emails to corporate business addresses (for example estate agencies) about photography and design services that may be relevant to their business. These messages identify Léyo Creative Studio, include a clear opt-out, and link to this policy.
We do not sell personal data. We do not email personal (non-corporate) addresses for marketing without consent.
Opt out and unsubscribe
You can stop marketing emails at any time by:
- Replying UNSUBSCRIBE to the message
- Emailing info@leyodesign.art with subject “unsubscribe”
- Contacting info@leyodesign.art
We will honour opt-out requests promptly and will not send further marketing to that address.
How we use your data
Personal data is used only to:
- Respond to creative and photography enquiries
- Prepare quotations and deliver commissioned work
- Issue invoices and maintain business records
- Send relevant B2B marketing where permitted
- Comply with law and defend legal claims
We do not sell or share your data with third parties for their marketing.
Cookies and similar technologies
This site may load Google Fonts from Google’s servers; Google may process technical data under its own privacy policy (policies.google.com).
We do not use analytics, advertising, or social tracking cookies on this policy page. If other pages add cookies, we will update this section.
Retention
Customer and project records are kept for up to 6 years after the end of a tax year, in line with HMRC requirements for sole traders, then deleted or anonymised where possible. Marketing suppression lists are kept indefinitely so we do not re-contact opted-out addresses.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, and data portability (where applicable). You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
To exercise your rights, email info@leyodesign.art. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
International transfers
We primarily store data in the UK. If a processor (for example email or font hosting) processes data outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards where required.
Changes
We may update this policy. The current version is always published at https://srv1677041.hstgr.cloud/leyo/privacy.html.
