Controller
The controller is Robert Jonathan Pitman. You can contact him at jonathan@rjpitman.com. His regulatory details can be verified through the SRA register.
Information processed
- Contact details you provide, such as name, email address and phone number if included.
- Enquiry text submitted through the contact form or by direct email.
- Your optional answer about how you found Robert and the referring service page when supplied through an internal contact link. These are used to understand where suitable enquiries come from; they are not tracked using cookies.
- Technical data needed to operate the site and protect the contact form, such as request metadata, Turnstile checks and delivery metadata.
Information needed to respond
If you use the contact form, the required fields are name, email address, message and the anti-spam check response. If you do not provide enough contact information, Robert Jonathan Pitman may be unable to respond. You can instead use the direct email or phone details on the contact page.
Purposes and lawful basis
Data is used to respond to enquiries, run conflict and scope checks, protect the form from abuse, keep limited operational records, and manage complaints or regulatory obligations where relevant. The expected lawful bases are legitimate interests, steps before entering into a contract, and legal obligation where a specific duty applies.
Processors and recipients
The site data path is: browser to Vercel hosting and the Vercel contact function, Cloudflare Turnstile verification where enabled, Resend email delivery where live form delivery is enabled, and Robert Jonathan Pitman's mailbox. Vercel also provides the website statistics described below. There is no matter database, client portal, file upload or payment processor.
If you choose to contact Robert Jonathan Pitman through an external platform linked from the site, such as LinkedIn or WhatsApp, that platform will process information under its own terms and privacy information.
Retention
Enquiry emails are retained only as long as needed for enquiry handling, compliance, complaints and record-keeping purposes.
Operational contact records contain a submission reference, time and technical acceptance status, without a copy of the message, name or email address. An internal enquiry register uses broad service, source and handling status rather than confidential legal details.
Website statistics
I use Vercel Web Analytics to understand how this website is used and improve its pages. It collects page views, referring page addresses, approximate location and browser/device information for aggregate statistics. Analytics is not used for advertising or decisions about individual visitors. Where personal data is processed for these statistics, the lawful basis is legitimate interests in improving the website.
The site removes query strings and fragments from analytics page URLs and does not collect analytics on the contact, privacy or cookies pages. Enquiry form contents are not sent to analytics. Vercel derives a short-lived visitor hash from request information and discards visitor session identification after 24 hours. No analytics cookies are used. Aggregate statistics have a plan-dependent reporting window of one month on Hobby or twelve months on Pro; Vercel may retain statistics longer, as explained in its retention information.
You can object free of charge by stopping analytics below. This stops future collection on this browser and stores only your preference in local storage; it does not identify you. The preference lasts until you change it or clear this site's browser storage. It applies separately to each browser and device. If browser storage is unavailable, analytics stays disabled.
Website statistics require JavaScript; they are disabled when JavaScript is off.
Vercel may process data outside the UK. Its data processing addendum describes processor arrangements and safeguards for international transfers, including UK transfer terms for covered plans. See also Vercel Web Analytics privacy information.
Your rights and complaints
Depending on the basis for processing, you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability. You can contact Robert Jonathan Pitman at jonathan@rjpitman.com. You can also complain to the ICO.

Right to object
Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you can object by contacting jonathan@rjpitman.com. The request will be considered against any continuing need to handle the enquiry, comply with legal or regulatory duties, or keep appropriate records.
Automated decisions
The site does not make legal or similarly significant decisions solely by automated processing. Basic deterministic triage may flag obviously out-of-scope enquiries for safer handling, but it does not decide whether Robert Jonathan Pitman acts.
