Privacy Policy
Last updated: 11 July 2026
This policy explains how GigJar ("we", "us") collects and uses your personal data when you visit gigjar.co.uk, buy or download our spreadsheet templates, or join our waitlist. GigJar is a trading name of Keith McKinney, who is the data controller.
1. Who we are
GigJar is operated by Keith McKinney as a sole trader, based in the UK. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (registration [ICO REGISTRATION NUMBER]). You can reach us about anything in this policy at hello@gigjar.co.uk.
2. What we collect, why, and our lawful basis
| Data | When | Why | Lawful basis (UK GDPR) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email address | When you buy a template, download the free Lite, or join the waitlist | To deliver your file and receipt, and - if you've agreed - to tell you about GigJar updates | Performance of a contract (delivery); Consent (marketing) |
| Payment details | When you buy the paid template | To take payment | Handled entirely by Gumroad and its payment processors - we never see or store your card details |
| Anonymous usage statistics | When you visit the site | To understand traffic and improve the page | Legitimate interests (we use cookieless analytics that does not identify you) |
| Server/technical logs (including IP address) | Automatically, when you visit | Security and to serve the site | Legitimate interests |
3. Cookies
We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising, and we show no cookie banner because we set no non-essential cookies. Our website analytics (Plausible) is cookieless and collects no personal data. Any strictly-necessary cookies our host may set are used only to serve the site securely.
4. Who we share it with
We do not sell your data. We use trusted providers ("processors") to run the service:
- Gumroad - sales, file delivery, payment and customer emails (United States)
- Netlify - website hosting (United States)
- Plausible Analytics - cookieless site statistics (European Union)
- Google Fonts - page fonts; loading them sends your IP address to Google (United States)
Where a provider processes data outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK adequacy regulations or the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
5. Marketing
We'll only email you about GigJar (the app, template updates, tips) where you've agreed, or where the law permits us to email existing customers about our own similar products. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, and you can opt out at any time there or by emailing hello@gigjar.co.uk.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your email for as long as you're a customer or subscriber, and afterwards only as long as needed for our records and legal obligations (for example, tax and accounting records). You can ask us to delete it sooner (see your rights below).
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR you have the right to: access your data; have it corrected; have it erased; restrict or object to how we use it; receive a copy (portability); and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, email hello@gigjar.co.uk. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
8. About the templates themselves
Our spreadsheet templates run entirely on your own device in Excel or Google Sheets. Any figures you enter stay with you - we do not receive or store any tax data you type into the workbook. GigJar provides tax information, not regulated tax advice.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time; the "last updated" date above shows when. We'll flag material changes where appropriate.
