Privacy Policy

Welcome to My Portfolio Website

Welcome to my Creative Designer Portfolio website. Your privacy is incredibly important to me, and I’m committed to protecting any personal information you share when you interact with this site. This Privacy Policy describes how your data is collected, used, and safeguarded. It applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the website.

By using this website, you consent to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Who I Am

This website is run by Milo Thomas, a Creative Product Designer dedicated to showcasing design work, writing insights, and providing digital design services. This is a personal portfolio and not a commercial business or corporation.

If you have questions or concerns about this policy or your personal data, please reach out to me via the contact page or email me at hello@ratli.co.uk.

2. Information I Collect

I only collect personal data that is relevant and necessary for the purpose of improving user experience and communication. The data I may collect includes:

  • Name and Email Address: Submitted voluntarily via contact forms or newsletter subscription forms.
  • Messages: Any project inquiries or other messages sent through forms.
  • Comments: When comments are enabled on blog posts, the data you provide in the comment form may be stored.
  • Device and Browser Information: Automatically collect by analytics tools like Google Analytics to help me understand how users are interacting with the site.
  • Usage Data: Information on how you browse and interact with the site, including page views, time spent, and click behavior.

This data is collected in compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations.

3. How I Use Your Information

Your data is used in a respectful, transparent, and secure manner. Specifically, I may use it to:

  • Respond to your messages and inquiries
  • Provide updates via newsletter (only if you’ve subscribed)
  • Improve the website’s design, content, and user experience
  • Monitor and analyze traffic and site usage
  • Maintain security and performance of the site

I will never sell, rent, or lease your personal data to third parties. I do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

4. Newsletter & Mailing List

If you subscribe to my mailing list, I may send occasional updates including blog content, portfolio news, and design insights. Your email is only added to the list if you explicitly subscribe.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email. I use a secure, GDPR-compliant email marketing platform to manage subscriptions.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to enhance the browsing experience. This site uses cookies to:

  • Remember your preferences (like dark mode or animation toggles)
  • Track anonymous usage patterns
  • Provide insights for future content and design improvements

You can choose to accept or decline cookies via your browser settings. Declining cookies may affect site performance or features.

6. Embedded Content & Third-Party Tools

Some pages on this website may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube videos, Instagram feeds, or Behance portfolios). These third-party platforms may collect data as if you visited their site directly.

I also use tools like Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and form plugins — all of which are selected based on their compliance with privacy standards.

7. Data Security

I take reasonable precautions to protect the personal data you share with me. This includes:

  • SSL encryption for data transmission
  • Secure hosting and regular maintenance
  • Limited access to form submissions and subscriber data

That said, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While I do my best to protect your data, I cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data. These include:

  • SSL encryption for data transmission
  • Secure hosting and regular maintenance
  • Limited access to form submissions and subscriber data

To exercise these rights, contact me using the email listed above. I will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or site features. If changes are made, the updated policy will be posted here with a revised effective date.

I recommend reviewing this page occasionally to stay informed about how your data is handled.
