How this site handles your data
Last updated 7 September 2026
This is a one-page portfolio run by James Maryon, a freelance web developer in the UK. It collects very little, and this page says exactly what, why, and for how long.
Who runs this site
James Maryon is a trading name of Xpense Ltd, a private limited company registered in England and Wales, company number 16349096. Registered office: 74 Boulevard View, Whitchurch Lane, Bristol, BS14 0TL.
What you send through the contact form
When you use the form you give your name, your email address, an optional link to your current website or socials, and a message.
It is used for one thing: replying to you about your project. It is stored in a database (hosted by Neon) and emailed to James (delivered by Resend) so the message isn't lost. Nobody else gets it, and it is never used for marketing.
Enquiries are kept for up to 12 months after the last message between us, then deleted. If you want yours removed sooner, email and it goes.
How the site measures visits
The site keeps its own simple visit counts: which page was viewed, roughly where in the world from (country only), whether it was a phone or a desktop, the page that linked here, and a few named interactions such as opening a project preview or sending the form.
It does not use cookies, and it does not use Google Analytics or any other third-party tracker. Your IP address is never stored. Instead a one-way code is made from it that changes every day, which is enough to tell repeat visits apart for that day and useless for identifying anyone.
These records are kept for up to 12 months.
Who else handles the data
Three services run the site on James's behalf: Vercel (hosting), Neon (database) and Resend (email). Each only processes what it needs to do its job. Nothing is sold or shared beyond that.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask what is held about you, have it corrected, or have it deleted. Email james.maryon@gmail.com and it will be dealt with within a month, usually much sooner. If you are unhappy with how it was handled you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Changes
If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. The version you are reading is the one that applies.
