This policy explains how The Marketing District Ltd(“we”, “us”) handles personal data when you use www.themarketingdistrict.com or get in touch with us. We are the data controller for that information. Last updated June 2026.

What we collect

We only collect what we need. In practice that means two things:

  • Information you give us. When you complete the contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and anything else you choose to include — typically your company, website and a description of your project.
  • Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how the site is used in aggregate — pages visited, rough location and the type of device. This is never used to identify you personally.

Why we use it, and our lawful basis

We use the details you send to reply to your enquiry, prepare a proposal and, if we work together, deliver the project. Our lawful basis for this is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us, and, once engaged, the performance of our contract with you. We use analytics on the basis of consent where required.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your data, and we don't share it for marketing. We do rely on a small number of trusted suppliers — for hosting, email and analytics — who process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements. We only ever share what those services need to function.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry correspondence for as long as is reasonable to maintain a relationship and meet our legal and accounting obligations, then delete it. If you'd like us to remove your details sooner, just ask.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to or restrict how we use it. To exercise any of these, email tmdlimited@gmail.com. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe we have handled your data improperly.

Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to run the site and to measure usage anonymously. You can read the detail on our cookies page and control cookies through your browser settings at any time.
