Nothing is stored,
so nothing is kept.

There is nothing to retain, because nothing is stored

This site has no backend. It has no database, no user accounts, and no server that receives a form submission. When you fill in the brief form, the text is assembled in your browser, copied to your clipboard, and handed to your own email application. It is not transmitted to us by the website.

So for the public site the honest retention schedule is the empty one: nothing is collected, therefore nothing is retained.

If you email us, or become a client

This is the part that actually applies, and it belongs in the engagement contract rather than on a marketing page. In plain terms:

Enquiry correspondence is kept only as long as the conversation is live and while we decide whether there is work to do. Anything we do not need is deleted.

Client material — records, exports, credentials, creative, code — is held for the life of the engagement and returned to you on handover. After handover we keep only what we are legally required to keep, which in a normal engagement is invoices and tax records, and those have a statutory life set by the IRS rather than by us.

The signed contract states the retention periods for that engagement and overrides anything on this page.

Why we are publishing an empty schedule

Most retention policies are written to sound thorough. An empty, verified one is more useful, because it can be checked. If this site ever starts collecting something, this page changes first.

Your deletion rights

Whatever we hold about you, we will delete on request, and we will tell you within five business days what we removed and what we are legally required to keep and why. Rights requests are answered by a person, not a form.
