Privacy notice

This notice explains how we collect and use personal data when you visit lightcurve.ie or contact us through it. We keep it short because we collect very little.

Who we are

The data controller is Lightcurve Engineering Limited, trading as Lightcurve Engineering (company number [000000]), registered office [address]. You can contact us about privacy at [privacy@lightcurve.ie].

What we collect and why

When you use the contact form we collect your name, youremail address and your message. We use them only to read and reply to your enquiry, and to discuss any work that follows from it.

Our hosting provider processes basic technical data (such as IP addresses) in server and security logs to deliver the site and protect it from abuse, for example to rate-limit the contact form. These logs do not contain the content of your message or your email address.

Lawful basis

We rely on:

• Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) in responding to enquiries sent to us and keeping the site secure; and
• Steps prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) where you ask us about a potential engagement.

How long we keep it

The website does not store form submissions. Your message is delivered to our mailbox as an email and the form service keeps no copy. We keep enquiry emails for [X months], unless they become part of an engagement, in which case we keep them for as long as needed for that engagement and our legal obligations.

Who processes it

• Microsoft Azure: Azure Static Web Apps (website hosting), Azure Functions (which handle the contact form) and Azure Communication Services Email (which delivers your message to us). The contact form and email delivery run in the EU (North Europe region). Web pages are served from Microsoft's global network, which processes only the technical data needed to deliver them.
• [email provider]: hosts our mailbox.

We do not sell your data or share it with anyone else for marketing.

Cookies and analytics

This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking. If that changes, we will update this notice first.

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;

• restrict or object to our processing of it;
• receive your data in a portable format, where applicable.

To exercise any of these rights, email [privacy@lightcurve.ie]. We will reply within one month.
