    We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, including to provide products and services, support customers, maintain appropriate business records and meet legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations.

    Our typical retention periods include:

    • General enquiries: usually up to two years after our last meaningful contact

    • Orders, invoices and payment records: usually up to six years, or for as long as required by applicable tax and accounting laws

    • Customer, project and contract records: usually for the duration of the working relationship and up to six years afterwards

    • Support correspondence and technical information: usually up to three years after the support request is closed, unless it needs to be retained for longer in connection with an order, ongoing service or legal matter

    • Mailing-list information: until you unsubscribe, withdraw consent or we determine that the information is no longer accurate or required

    • Marketing suppression records: a limited record may be retained after you unsubscribe so that we can respect your preference and avoid contacting you again

    • Website analytics information: according to the retention settings of the relevant analytics service and our cookie settings

    We may retain information for longer where this is necessary to resolve a dispute, investigate misuse, enforce an agreement, establish or defend a legal claim, or comply with a legal requirement.

    When personal information is no longer required, we will delete it, anonymise it or securely dispose of it where reasonably possible.

    10. How we protect your information

    We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against accidental or unlawful loss, alteration, disclosure, access, misuse or destruction.

    These measures may include:

    • Password protection and account-access controls

    • Multi-factor authentication where available

    • Secure website connections

    • Restricted access to customer and project information

    • Secure storage and file-sharing services

    • Software updates and security monitoring

    • Careful selection of service providers

    • Secure handling of website and account access information

    No method of online transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. Although we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

    If you provide access to a website or third-party account as part of an agreed service, you should use the secure sharing method recommended and remove or revoke that access when it is no longer required.

    11. Your data-protection rights

    Depending on the circumstances and the lawful basis on which we process your information, you may have the right to:

    • Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you

    • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete

    • Ask us to delete your personal information

    • Object to the processing of your information

    • Receive certain information in a portable format and ask for it to be transferred to another organisation

    • Withdraw consent where we rely on consent

    • Complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office

    These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every situation. For example, we may need to retain certain information to comply with the law, complete a contract or establish or defend a legal claim.

    Your right to object

    You have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing at any time.

    You may also have the right to object where we process your information on the basis of legitimate interests. If you object, we will stop the relevant processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue or the information is required in connection with a legal claim.

    To exercise any of your rights, contact [email protected].

    We may need to ask for information to confirm your identity before completing a request. We will normally respond within one month, although the law allows additional time in certain circumstances.

    There is usually no charge for exercising your data-protection rights. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request where the law allows us to do so, including where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.

    12. Pinterest integration

    The Square Genius may provide an optional connection to Pinterest to help authorised users create, manage, schedule or publish Pinterest content.

    Information we may receive

    If you choose to connect a Pinterest account, Pinterest may provide us with information and permissions associated with that account. Depending on the permissions you approve, this may include:

    • Basic Pinterest account information

    • Information about your Pinterest boards

    • Information about pins connected with the authorised account

    • Permission to create or manage boards

    • Permission to create, schedule, publish or manage pins

    • Authorisation tokens required to maintain the connection

    The Square Genius does not receive or store your Pinterest password.

    How Pinterest information is used

    We use information received through the Pinterest connection only to:

    • Provide the Pinterest features you have requested

    • View or select authorised Pinterest boards

    • Create, schedule, publish or manage pins on your behalf

    • Maintain and secure the authorised connection

    • Diagnose technical issues and provide support

    • Prevent misuse or unauthorised activity

    We will not use information received through Pinterest to send unrelated marketing communications or sell it to third parties.

    Pinterest access tokens

    Pinterest access and refresh tokens may be stored securely so that authorised actions can be completed without requiring you to reconnect your account each time.

    These tokens are used only for the permissions you have approved. We take reasonable steps to restrict access to them and protect them against unauthorised use.

    Disconnecting Pinterest and requesting deletion

    You can withdraw Pinterest access through your Pinterest account settings, where this option is available, or by contacting [email protected].

    If you disconnect the integration, we will stop using the authorisation to perform new actions. Disconnecting the service will not necessarily delete pins or boards that have already been published to Pinterest.

    You may ask us to delete information associated with your Pinterest connection. We will delete or anonymise it where reasonably possible, unless we need to retain limited information to comply with the law, prevent misuse, resolve a dispute or maintain necessary business records.

    Your use of Pinterest is also subject to Pinterest’s own terms and privacy policy. The Square Genius is not responsible for how Pinterest independently collects or uses personal information.

    13. Automated decision-making

    The Square Genius does not currently use personal information to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

    If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide the information required by law.

    14. Third-party websites and services

    This website may contain links to websites, platforms or services operated by third parties.

    The Square Genius is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party services. You should review the privacy policy of any external service before providing personal information or authorising a connection.

    15. Children’s information

    This website, our products and our services are not intended for children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

    If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact [email protected] so that we can investigate and take appropriate action.

    16. Changes to this Privacy Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, connected platforms, business practices or legal obligations.

    The latest version will be published on this website and the “Last updated” date at the top of the policy will be changed.

    Where a change materially affects how we use personal information, we may provide an additional notice where appropriate.

    17. How to complain

    11. No guarantee of results

    We do not guarantee that a plugin will increase sales, enquiries, bookings, engagement, conversions, search rankings or website performance.

    Examples, demos, screenshots and product descriptions are provided to show typical functionality, but results may vary depending on your website, content, layout and setup.

    12. Pricing and availability

    Prices may change at any time.

    We may update, remove, rename, replace or discontinue plugins at our discretion.

    Purchasing a plugin does not guarantee that it will remain available forever.

    13. Account and access information

    If you provide website access, passwords, contributor access or login details for support or installation, you are responsible for making sure you have permission to share that access.

    We recommend removing access once the support or installation work is complete.

    14. Misuse of products

    We reserve the right to refuse support, revoke access or take appropriate action if we believe a plugin has been misused, shared, resold, copied, redistributed or used in breach of these terms.

    The Square Genius is owned and operated by Toni Hill, trading as The Square Genius.

    Throughout these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” refers to The Square Genius. “You”, “your” and “the client” refers to the person, business, charity, organisation or company purchasing or using our services.

    A project is accepted when you:

    Approve a quote or proposal in writing
    Pay a deposit or initial invoice
    Confirm by email that you would like to proceed
    Book a service through our website or booking system
    Ask us to begin work

    Once a project has been accepted, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

    3. Quotes and estimates

    Quotes are based on the information provided at the time and are valid for the period stated on the quote. If no period is stated, quotes are valid for 30 days.

    If the project changes, expands or requires additional work, we reserve the right to provide a revised quote or charge additional fees.

    Any work outside the agreed scope will be quoted separately or charged at our current hourly or day rate.

    4. Deposits and payments

    A deposit or initial payment may be required before work begins. Unless stated otherwise, deposits are non refundable as they secure time in our schedule and cover initial planning, preparation and project setup.

    Payment terms will be stated on your quote, proposal or invoice.

    For larger projects, payments may be split into stages. Work may be paused if payments are late or outstanding.

    Final files, website transfer, website launch, publication or handover may be withheld until all outstanding invoices have been paid in full.

    5. Late payments

    Invoices should be paid by the due date shown on the invoice.

    If payment is late, we reserve the right to:

    Pause work
    Withhold files, assets, website access or website transfer
    Delay launch or delivery
    Remove unpaid work from live systems where appropriate
    Charge reasonable late payment fees or interest
    Cancel ongoing support or services

    Late payment may affect agreed project timelines.

    6. Client responsibilities

    To help us deliver your project smoothly, you agree to provide:

    Clear feedback
    Accurate information
    Required content, images, copy, logins and assets
    Timely approvals
    Access to any platforms needed for the project
    Copyright permissions for any materials you provide
    A main point of contact for the project

    You are responsible for checking all content, spelling, grammar, links, legal information, pricing, contact details and final design details before approval, launch or publication.

    We are not responsible for errors that remain after you have approved the work.

    7. Content and materials supplied by you

    You confirm that any text, images, videos, fonts, logos, graphics, documents, data, downloads or other materials you provide are either owned by you, licensed to you, or you have permission to use them.

    You agree to indemnify The Square Genius against any claims, costs, losses or legal issues caused by materials you provide without the correct rights or permissions.

    We may refuse to use any content that we believe is offensive, unlawful, misleading, harmful, discriminatory, inappropriate or likely to breach the rights of another person or organisation.

    8. Project timelines

    Any timeline or completion date given is an estimate unless agreed otherwise in writing.

    Timelines depend on timely communication, content delivery, feedback, approvals and payment from you.

    We are not responsible for delays caused by:

    Late content
    Delayed feedback
    Missed payments
    Changes to the project scope
    Third party platforms
    Technical issues outside our control
    Illness, emergencies or events beyond our reasonable control

    If a project is delayed by the client for a significant period, we may need to reschedule the work and provide a revised timeline.

    9. Design revisions and changes

    Your quote or proposal will explain what is included in your project.

    Unless stated otherwise, reasonable design revisions are included during the agreed review stage.

    Revisions do not include a complete change of direction, a new concept, additional pages, new features, extra functionality, rewritten copy, additional SEO work, or work outside the agreed scope.

    Additional changes may be charged separately.

    Once a design, website, document, asset or piece of work has been approved, further changes may be treated as additional work.

    10. Website design projects

    For website design projects, we will provide opportunities for review and feedback during the project.

    Once the website is ready for final review, you are responsible for checking the website carefully before launch or handover. This includes checking:

    Text and page content
    Images and graphics
    Links and buttons
    Forms
    Contact details
    Product information
    Pricing
    Legal pages
    Mobile layout
    General functionality

    Once the website is approved, launched or handed over, any further changes may be charged separately unless they relate to an error on our part.

    11. Squarespace websites

    Many of our websites are created using Squarespace.

    You understand that Squarespace is a third party platform and is subject to its own terms, pricing, features, limitations and updates.

    We are not responsible for:

    Squarespace platform changes
    Squarespace downtime
    Squarespace pricing changes
    Squarespace feature changes
    Loss of functionality caused by Squarespace updates
    Issues caused by third party integrations
    Issues caused by code added by another person
    Client changes made after handover

    Where custom code is used, we cannot guarantee it will continue to work forever if Squarespace changes its platform, structure or features.

    12. Website ownership and transfer

    Where a website is built under The Square Genius Squarespace account or Partner account, ownership will only be transferred to the client once all outstanding invoices have been paid in full.

    Until full payment has been received, the website, design work, setup, structure, code, graphics and related materials remain the property of The Square Genius.

    Once payment has been made in full, the agreed final website will be transferred or handed over as agreed.

    The client is responsible for ongoing Squarespace subscription fees, domain fees, email fees, third party app fees and any other ongoing costs unless agreed otherwise in writing.

    13. Training and handover

    Website training may be provided as a live training session, recorded video tutorial, written guide, or a combination of these, depending on the project.

    Training covers the agreed areas of the website and does not include unlimited future support, advanced Squarespace training, marketing training, SEO training, or support for unrelated website changes unless agreed separately.

    14. SEO services

    SEO work is carried out using reasonable care, research and best practice at the time of delivery.

    However, search engine rankings are affected by many factors outside our control, including search engine algorithm updates, competitor activity, website history, content quality, technical issues, backlinks, user behaviour and ongoing website activity.

    We do not guarantee specific rankings, traffic levels, enquiries, sales or results from SEO work.

    15. Branding and logo design

    For branding and logo design projects, the agreed final logo or brand files will be supplied after full payment has been received.

    Unused concepts, draft designs, sketches, ideas, mockups and alternative designs remain the property of The Square Genius unless agreed otherwise in writing.

    Once full payment has been received, the client may use the final approved logo and brand assets for their own business or organisation.

    Raw working files are not included unless agreed in writing.

    16. Copyright and intellectual property

    Until full payment has been received, all work created by The Square Genius remains the property of The Square Genius.

    Once full payment has been received, the client will receive the agreed usage rights for the final approved work.

    The Square Genius retains ownership of:

    Draft concepts
    Unused designs
    Working files
    Creative ideas not selected
    Custom code snippets created outside the final agreed deliverables
    Processes, methods and systems
    Pre existing templates, frameworks, plugins or tools
    Any materials not specifically transferred in writing

    The client must not resell, redistribute, copy, share or claim our work, code, templates, processes, plugins or systems as their own unless agreed in writing.

    17. Third party tools, fonts, images and licences

    Some projects may use third party tools, fonts, images, plugins, stock assets, software, integrations or platforms.

    The client is responsible for any ongoing fees, subscriptions or licences unless agreed otherwise.

    We are not responsible for third party tools changing, breaking, increasing their prices, becoming unavailable, or no longer being suitable for the client’s needs.

    18. Portfolio and credit

    Unless agreed otherwise in writing, the client agrees that The Square Genius may:

    Display the project in our portfolio
    Share the project on social media
    Use screenshots or visuals for marketing
    Describe the work in case studies
    Include the client name and project summary
    Place a small credit link in the website footer

    For websites, this may appear as a small line such as:

    Website by The Square Genius

    If the client would like this removed, this must be agreed in writing.

    19. Confidentiality

    We will treat confidential information shared with us with care and will not knowingly share it with third parties unless needed to deliver the project, required by law, or agreed by you.

    You agree not to share confidential information, pricing, processes, documents, templates, training materials or project resources provided by The Square Genius without permission.

    20. Support and maintenance

    Support, maintenance, updates and troubleshooting are not included after project completion unless stated in the quote or agreed separately.

    Any additional support may be charged at our current hourly rate, support package rate or quoted separately.

    We are not responsible for maintaining, updating or fixing a website after handover unless an ongoing support agreement is in place.

    21. Client changes after handover

    Once a website, design or digital asset has been handed over, the client is responsible for any changes they make.

    We are not responsible for issues caused by:

    Client edits
    Deleted content
    Changed settings
    Added code
    Third party plugins
    Broken links added after handover
    Changed images or layouts
    Other designers, developers or team members editing the work

    Fixing these issues may be charged separately.

    22. Cancellation by the client

    If you wish to cancel a project, you must confirm this in writing by email.

    If a project is cancelled, you will be invoiced for all work completed up to the cancellation date, including planning, design, development, admin, research, communication, strategy, meetings, purchases and any third party costs already incurred.

    Deposits and initial payments are non refundable.

    If the amount of work completed is greater than the amount already paid, the remaining balance will become payable.

    If a project is delayed or inactive for more than 30 days due to lack of client communication, content, feedback or approval, we reserve the right to pause or close the project and invoice for work completed.

    23. Cancellation by The Square Genius

    We reserve the right to cancel or pause a project if:

    Payment is overdue
    The project scope changes significantly
    The working relationship becomes difficult, abusive or unreasonable
    The client does not provide required content, feedback or access
    The client asks us to carry out work that is unlawful, unethical or against our values
    We are unable to continue due to illness, emergency or circumstances outside our control

    If we cancel a project, we will invoice for work completed up to that point.

    24. Refunds for services

    Refunds are not provided for completed work, time already spent, strategy, consultations, design work, digital work, SEO work, custom code, installation work, or services already delivered.

    If you are unhappy with any part of the service, please contact us as soon as possible so we can discuss the issue and try to resolve it fairly.

    25. Limitation of liability

    The Square Genius will take reasonable care when providing services.

    However, we are not liable for any indirect, consequential or financial loss, including loss of income, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of data, loss of rankings, loss of sales, website downtime, or reputational damage.

    Any claim against The Square Genius will be limited to the amount paid by the client for the relevant service.

    Nothing in these terms excludes liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

    26. Legal, compliance and website policies

    The client is responsible for ensuring their website, content, business, products, services and policies comply with all relevant laws and regulations.

    This includes, but is not limited to:

    Privacy policies
    Cookie policies
    Terms and conditions
    Accessibility requirements
    Consumer law
    Data protection
    Copyright law
    Advertising rules
    Charity regulations
    Industry specific rules

    We may provide general guidance, layout support or draft wording, but this does not constitute legal advice. The client should seek professional legal advice where needed.

    27. Accessibility

    We aim to create websites that are user friendly and consider accessibility where possible.

    However, unless accessibility testing or a specific compliance level is included in the agreed scope, we do not guarantee that a website will meet any specific accessibility standard.

    28. Force majeure

    We are not liable for delays or failure to deliver work caused by events outside our reasonable control.

    This may include illness, emergencies, internet outages, platform issues, supplier delays, strikes, natural disasters, government restrictions, technical failures or other unexpected events.

    29. Complaints

    If you have a concern about our work or service, please contact us in writing so we can try to resolve the issue.

    We will aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and work with you to find a fair solution where possible.

    30. Changes to these terms

    We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time.

    The version in place at the time you accept a quote, pay a deposit or book a service will usually apply to that project unless otherwise agreed.

    These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

    Any disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
