Draft for checking before launch. Last updated 25 September 2026.
Who we are
Bradley Digital is run by Bradley Clarkson. We decide how your information is used, so under UK law we are the “controller”. Registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office: [to add]. Contact: [to add].
What we keep, and why
| What | Why | The legal reason | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your brief: your name, email and answers | To reply to you and give you a price | Steps you asked for before a contract | 2 years if we do not work together; 6 years after your last invoice if we do |
| A site check: the address you type | To read that site's public pages and show you the report | Our legitimate interest in offering a free tool | Not kept. Your internet address is held in memory for up to 10 minutes to stop misuse |
| A deep scan: the address you give us, and your report | To scan that site’s public pages, write your report and show it in your account | Our contract with you | While you have an account. Ask us and we delete a report at any time |
| Your account: your email address | To let you sign in and see your plan | Our contract with you | While you have an account, then 6 years for our records |
| Payments: what you bought, your name and email, the last four digits of your card | To take payment and keep tax records | Our contract with you, and the law on records | 6 years |
| Your web address, if you connect it to us | To put your site live on it | Our contract with you | While we host your site |
| Hosting logs: internet addresses and pages requested | To keep this site working and secure | Our legitimate interest in running a safe site | A short time, set by our host |
We never sell your information, and we never use it for advertising.
The brief assistant
When it is switched on, the assistant on our brief page is an AI model, Claude, made by Anthropic, and the card says so. Your answers to its questions are sent to Anthropic so it can write its next question and fill in your brief. It never sees your name or email: you type those into the page at the end, and they go to Brad only. Anthropic does not use what is sent through its API to train its models, and deletes it within 30 days. When the assistant is off, the page asks the same questions itself and nothing goes to Anthropic.
Your finished brief, with the conversation that made it, goes to Brad and is kept as set out above.
The site check
When you check a site, we read its public home page. A short summary in plain words may be written by the same AI model, from our findings about the site. It sees those findings only, never anything about you.
Deep scan reports
An AI model writes the plain English in a deep scan report, from measurements our tools take of the scanned site’s public pages. It sees those pages and the measurements. It never sees your name, your email or your payment details. Brad reads every report before it reaches your account.
Who helps us
These companies handle information for us, only on our instructions:
- Stripe takes card payments. We never see your full card number.
- Google Firebase looks after sign-in. We never see your password.
- Vercel hosts this website and the sites we build.
- Google PageSpeed times a site on a phone when you ask for a site check or a deep scan.
- Anthropic provides the AI model that writes the wording of deep scan reports, the plain-words summary on the site check and, when it is on, the brief assistant.
Some of them store information in the United States. Where they do, the transfer is covered by the UK’s data bridge with the US or by the UK’s approved contract terms.
Your rights
You can ask to see what we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to limit how we use it, to object, or to have a copy to take elsewhere. Write to [to add]. We answer within one month.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113. We would like the chance to put it right first.
Cookies
We use no advertising or tracking cookies. The cookie page lists the little we store on your device and why.
Changes
If we change how we use your information, we will update this page first and change the date at the top.
