Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

DigitalWorldAB is a limited company registered in England and Wales. We build and sell production-grade Excel and Google Sheets templates for freelancers and self-employed professionals, and we are developing an AI-powered operations platform for the same audience. Our website is digitalworldab.com.

For the purposes of UK GDPR, DigitalWorldAB is the data controller for any personal data collected through this website. For enquiries about your data, please use the contact form on our Contact page.

2. What Data We Collect and Why

We collect only the minimum data needed to operate the services described below. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

Platform waitlist (via Loops)
When you submit your email address to join the platform waitlist, we collect your first name (if provided) and email address. The legal basis for this processing is your consent. You can withdraw consent and be removed from the waitlist at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send you, or by contacting us directly.

Contact form (via Formspree)
When you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address, the subject you selected, and the message you wrote. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries about our products and services. We retain contact form submissions for up to 12 months from the date of receipt, after which they are deleted.

Website analytics (via Plausible)
We use Plausible Analytics to understand how visitors use this website. Plausible is a privacy-first analytics tool: it does not use cookies, does not collect or store personal data, and does not track individual visitors across sessions or sites. No consent is required for this analytics tool. You can review Plausible's data policy at plausible.io/data-policy.

3. Purchases

All template purchases are completed through our Etsy shop at etsy.com/shop/DigitalWorldAB. We do not process payment information on this website. Any personal data you provide during a purchase — including your name, email address, and payment details — is collected and processed by Etsy under Etsy's own Privacy Policy. We receive only the information Etsy shares with sellers as part of the transaction (typically your display name and the items ordered).

Contact form submissions (Formspree)	Up to 12 months from date of submission
