Privacy & cookies
Last updated: 4 November 2026
This policy explains what personal information this website collects, why, and what you can do about it. I've tried to keep it short and plain.
Who I am
This website, amandalucas.eu, is run by me, Amanda Lucas, a sole trader based in Ireland. I'm the data controller for any personal information collected through it. You can contact me at amanda@itchyfingersdesign.com.
What I collect and why
When you contact me
If you use the contact form, I receive the details you enter, such as your name, email address, organisation and message. The form is provided by OnePage CRM, and your details are stored there. I use them only to reply to you and to keep a record of our conversation. I don't add you to a mailing list or share your details with anyone else.
If you email me directly, I keep your email so I can reply.
Legal basis: my legitimate interest in answering your enquiry or, if you're asking about working together, taking steps at your request before entering a contract.
Booking a call
If you book a call through TidyCal, TidyCal collects the details you enter and shares them with me so we can meet. Their own privacy policy applies to their service.
Website statistics
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. I also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without identifying you.
With your consent, I also use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages and articles people read. Google Analytics only runs if you click Accept in the cookie banner. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Fonts
All fonts on this site (Questrial, Open Sans and JetBrains Mono) are served from the site itself. No Google Fonts or other font service is used, so no font provider receives your IP address when you visit.
Embedded content
Some articles include videos and demos from YouTube, Loom, CodePen and Airtable, and the Contact page includes the OnePage CRM form. Embedded content behaves as if you had visited the other site, and those providers may collect data about you and set their own cookies. Their privacy policies apply.
How long I keep information
I keep enquiries and related correspondence for as long as needed to deal with them. If we work together, I keep records for as long as Irish tax and accounting rules require, usually six years. Google Analytics data is kept for 14 months.
Where your data goes
Some of the services I use (Google, Cloudflare, OnePage CRM, TidyCal) may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, they rely on legal safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of the personal information I hold about you
- ask me to correct anything that's wrong
- ask me to delete your information
- object to or ask me to restrict how I use it
- withdraw your consent at any time, where I rely on consent
To use any of these rights, email amanda@itchyfingersdesign.com. I'll reply within one month.
If you're unhappy with how I've handled your information, you can complain to the Data Protection Commission in Ireland at dataprotection.ie.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. This site doesn't need cookies to work. The only optional cookies are from Google Analytics, and they're only set if you click Accept.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Kept for | Needs consent? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | This website | Remembers your cookie choice | 6 months | No, strictly necessary |
| _ga | Google Analytics | Tells visits apart so visitors can be counted | 2 years | Yes |
| _ga_2L8RHZXKJL | Google Analytics | Keeps track of your session | 2 years | Yes |
Google Analytics runs in Google Consent Mode with everything denied by default. Its script only loads after you accept. Cloudflare Web Analytics doesn't use cookies.
Embedded content from YouTube, Loom, CodePen, Airtable and OnePage CRM may set its own cookies when it loads. I don't control these.
Changing your choice
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, the Google Analytics cookies are removed. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
Changes to this policy
If I change how I use personal information, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
