Privacy & Cookies
How we handle your data.
Pendulum Development Ltd (Company No. 09572240) operates the website pendulumdev.co.uk. This page explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-notice-dismissed | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice | Permanent | Necessary |
| theme | Stores light/dark theme preference | Permanent | Necessary |
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics — anonymous usage data (standard for this site) | 2 years | Analytics |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare Turnstile — bot verification | 30 minutes | Functional |
Google Analytics is part of how we run this website: it loads when you visit pendulumdev.co.uk (when our measurement ID is configured) and uses cookies such as _ga to collect anonymous usage data with IP anonymisation enabled. This is not optional if you choose to use the site — it helps us understand traffic and improve content. A separate local storage flag (cookie-notice-dismissed) only records that you have seen our notice; it does not turn analytics off. You can re-read the notice at any time via the cookie button in the bottom-left corner of every page.
Cloudflare Turnstile
Our contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to verify you are human and prevent spam. Turnstile is a privacy-focused alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs — it does not track users across sites or use cookies for advertising. The contact page may load Turnstile before you submit the form. For more details, see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy. This is necessary for the form to function and is loaded regardless of cookie consent.
Contact form data
When you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), project type, budget range, and message. This data is:
- Stored in a private Google Sheet accessible only to Pendulum Development staff
- Synced to our CRM (Brevo) for managing the enquiry
- Used solely to respond to your enquiry and manage our relationship
We do not share, sell, or disclose your data to any third party. Your information is only used for direct communication between you and Pendulum Development.
Marketing communications
The contact form includes an optional checkbox to receive occasional news, insights, and offers from us. This is entirely opt-in — we will never send marketing emails unless you explicitly consent. If you opt in, you can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email, or by contacting us at studio@pendulumdev.co.uk.
Data retention
Contact form submissions are retained for as long as necessary to manage the enquiry and any resulting business relationship. You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing studio@pendulumdev.co.uk.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at studio@pendulumdev.co.uk.
