Outreach Privacy Notice

Who I am

Kindred Studio is the trading name of James Kindred, a UK sole trader. I am the data controller for the information described here.

• Contact: James@j-kindred.com
• ICO registration: 00015400255

Why you’re receiving this

I contacted you because your role suggests your organisation may benefit from Kindred Studio’s brand strategy and creative services. I only approach named people at incorporated businesses.

The information I hold

• Your name, job title, work email, and organisation.
• A note of where I found your details and why the approach was relevant.

I do not collect or hold any special category data (such as health, or political or religious beliefs).

Where I got it

From publicly available professional sources — for example your organisation’s website, professional networks such as LinkedIn, or public business directories.

My lawful basis

I rely on legitimate interests (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f)): my interest in offering relevant professional services to businesses that may benefit from them. I’ve completed a legitimate interests assessment balancing this against your rights, and you can ask me for a summary.

How I use it

• To send you a small number of relevant emails about my services.
• To manage those contacts and honour any opt-out.

I do not sell your data, and I do not use it for automated decisions that have legal effects on you.

Who processes it

Your data is handled using Google Workspace (Gmail) and my own systems (self-hosted automation using N8n), which process it on my instructions. Some providers may process data outside the UK; where they do, appropriate safeguards apply (such as UK adequacy or the International Data Transfer Agreement).

How long I keep it

• If you don’t respond, I delete your details within 6 months of last contact.
• If you opt out, I keep the minimum needed (your email) on a suppression list indefinitely, purely so I don’t contact you again.
• If you become a client or enquiry, I keep your details under my standard client records.

Your rights

You can ask me to:

• stop contacting you for marketing — this is an absolute right, and I’ll action it immediately;
• give you a copy of the data I hold about you;
• correct or erase your data, or restrict how I use it.

To exercise any of these, email James@j-kindred.com.

Opting out

Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe. You can also email James@j-kindred.com and I’ll remove you and add you to my suppression list so you aren’t contacted again.

Complaints

If you’re unhappy with how I’ve handled your data, please tell me first so I can put it right. You also have the right to complain to the ICO at ico.org.uk.
