Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

I’m Natalie Rodden, an independent learning designer and creative strategist.

This privacy policy explains how I collect and use personal information when you visit this website, contact me, or book a call.

What information I collect

If you contact me through this website, I may collect:

- your name

- your email address

- any information you choose to include in your message

If you book a call through Calendly, Calendly may also collect information such as your name, email address and booking details.

This website may also collect limited technical information about how the site is used through Squarespace analytics and cookies.

How I use your information

I use your information to:

- respond to enquiries

- arrange and manage calls

- discuss potential projects or collaborations

- provide services where we agree to work together

- understand how people use this website

I do not sell your personal information.

My lawful basis for using your information

I usually process personal information because:

- it is necessary to respond to your enquiry or take steps towards working together

- I have a legitimate business interest in managing enquiries, client relationships and this website

- where consent is required, for example for certain cookies, I will ask for it

Who your information may be shared with

I use third-party services to run this website and manage enquiries, including:

- Squarespace, which hosts this website and may process website and form data

- Calendly, if you choose to book a call through my Calendly link

These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. Squarespace provides information about its own privacy practices and data processing, and Calendly publishes a separate privacy notice. Squarespace Help

How long I keep your information

I keep personal information only for as long as I reasonably need it for the purpose it was collected.

For general enquiries that do not lead to ongoing work, I will normally delete the information when it is no longer useful for managing the enquiry or relationship.

Cookies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies.

Some cookies are necessary for the website to function. Others, including analytics cookies, may only be used with your consent.

You can manage your cookie preferences using the cookie banner on this website. The ICO says visitors should be told about cookies and that non-essential cookies generally require consent. ICO

- access the personal information I hold about you

- ask me to delete your information in certain circumstances

- restrict or object to how your information is used
