Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data NorthSail collects, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We aim to keep our handling of data simple, honest and proportionate to running our service.

Who we are

NorthSail is a subscription platform that builds and manages affordable websites and small web apps for local businesses such as restaurants, hairdressers, hotels, gyms, clinics and other local services.

If you have any question about this policy or your data, you can contact us at hello@north-sail.com.

What data we collect

When you contact us through a lead or enquiry form, we collect the details you provide: business name, business type, country, preferred language, your current website (if any), the need you describe, your email and, optionally, a phone number.

If you register for an account, we also store your name and email. Like most websites, our servers keep standard technical logs (such as IP address, browser type and timestamps) needed to operate and secure the service.

How we use your data

We use your data to respond to your enquiries, recommend a suitable plan, and to provide and maintain your website or web app.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for advertising profiling.

Legal basis and retention

Depending on the situation, we rely on your consent, our legitimate interest in answering and improving our service, or the performance of our contract with you.

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for these purposes, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

Sharing your data

We share data with infrastructure and hosting providers strictly as needed to run the service, such as servers, domains and email delivery.

These providers act on our instructions. We never sell your personal data to third parties.

Cookies

We use essential cookies only, for authentication and to keep your session working while you are signed in.

We do not use advertising trackers. If that ever changes, we will update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at hello@north-sail.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.

This is a general template provided for convenience and is not legal advice. Have it reviewed by a qualified lawyer for your jurisdiction before relying on it.
