Privacy policy

Who we are

Hesketh & Son is the trading name of Daniel Hesketh International, a company registered in Norway (org. no. 996 936 619, Bronnoysund Register Centre, Norway's equivalent of Companies House). We draft tender, grant, and award submissions for small and mid-sized firms in the UK and Norway.

This page sets out what we collect when you visit heskethandson.com, why we collect it, and what you can do about it.

What we collect

1. Server logs, kept by our hosting provider.
Our host, Bunny CDN, keeps standard server logs for every visit to this site: your IP address, the pages you request, and the time you request them. We use these logs to keep the site secure and running, and to understand basic traffic patterns. We do not use them to build a profile of you as an individual. Our host retains these raw logs for a short period, a few days, after which they are automatically deleted; from them we keep only aggregate visit counts, which cannot identify you. Our legal basis is legitimate interest (in plain terms: a reasonable, low-impact use that doesn't need your separate permission): keeping our website secure and working correctly.

2. Personalised links we send you.
If we have sent you a personalised link, for example a page we have built around your company's public evidence, and you follow it, we may note that your organisation viewed the page. We use this to follow up on our proposal to you: for instance, to know a link has been read before we write or call again. We do not track you as an individual across other sites, and we build no profile beyond your organisation reading the page we sent you. Our legal basis is legitimate interest: following up on business correspondence we have already opened with you.

3. Email correspondence.
If you write to us, by email or through the form on this site, we hold that correspondence to answer you, to deliver the work you have asked for, and to keep a record of what we have agreed. We do not add your address to a marketing list without telling you first.

4. No cookies, no third-party analytics, no advertising trackers.
This site sets no cookies. We run no third-party analytics, no advertising trackers, and no session-recording tools. Nothing on this page installs anything on your device. If that changes, we will update this page before it does, not after.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you can ask to see the data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, and object to how we use it. If you are in Norway or elsewhere in the EEA, the same rights apply to you under the GDPR as it applies there, and you can also raise a concern with Datatilsynet, the Norwegian data protection authority. If you are in the UK, you can raise a concern with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

We would rather you came to us first. Write to hello@heskethandson.com and we will sort it directly.
