Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to dkoi.design, the personal portfolio and blog of D. Turner, run by David Turner, and based near Manchester, UK. This is not a business or commercial operation. When this policy refers to "we", "us", or "Kói", it means David Turner.

We are committed to handling any personal data responsibly and in line with our obligations under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

2. What Data We Collect

dkoi.design does not currently operate a contact form or user account system. If you reach out to us via a linked social or professional profile (such as LinkedIn or Behance), any data you share in that communication is subject to both this policy and the relevant platform's own privacy terms.

2.2 Data collected automatically

When you visit dkoi.design, certain technical data may be collected automatically. This includes:

Your IP address and general geographic location (country or city level)
Browser type and version
Device type and operating system
Pages visited and time spent on each page
Referring URL (the page you came from)
Date and time of your visit

This data is collected via Google Analytics (see Section 4) and Wix's built-in analytics tools, and is used solely to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

2.3 Data we do not collect

We do not collect payment information, sensitive personal data, or any data from children. We do not run advertising on this site and do not build user profiles for commercial purposes.

3. Why We Collect It

The data we collect is used for the following purposes:

To understand how visitors find and use the site (analytics)
To monitor site performance and identify technical issues
To improve the content, structure, and usability of the site
To comply with any applicable legal obligations

Our lawful basis for processing this data under UK GDPR is legitimate interests — specifically, the legitimate interest of a website owner in understanding how their site is used and maintaining its proper operation.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Wix

This website is hosted on Wix. Wix may collect and process certain technical data as part of providing hosting and platform services. Wix acts as a data processor on our behalf. For details of Wix's data practices, see Wix's Privacy Policy at wix.com/about/privacy.

4.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors use this site. Google Analytics uses cookies to track session data. The data collected is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Google LLC is the data processor for this service. For details of Google's data practices, see Google's Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

4.3 External links and social platforms

This site links to third-party platforms including LinkedIn, GitHub, Substack, and Behance. Once you leave dkoi.design, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external site.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. dkoi.design uses cookies in the following ways:

Essential cookies: set by Wix to ensure the site functions correctly
Analytics cookies: set by Google Analytics to collect anonymised usage data

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your experience of this and other websites. For more information on managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

6. Sharing of Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data may be shared in the following limited circumstances:

With Wix and Google, as data processors acting on our behalf (see Section 4)
Where we are required to do so by law or by a competent authority

We will never share your data with advertisers or unrelated third parties.

7. Data Retention

Analytics data collected via Google Analytics is retained for 26 months by default, after which it is automatically deleted. We do not retain any other personal data beyond what is operationally necessary.

8. Your Rights

Kói does not collect or store personal data that identifies individual visitors. Anonymised analytics data (see Section 4) is processed by third-party platforms — Wix and Google — and is not held by us directly. As a result, rights such as access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, and the right to object do not practically apply, as we hold nothing about you to action.

The right that does apply is the right to be informed — which this policy fulfils. We also do not carry out automated decision-making or profiling of any kind.

If you have a concern about how your data is handled by our third-party processors, you can contact them directly or lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

9. Minors

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not collect personal data from anyone, including children.

10. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to ensure that any data processed in connection with this site is handled securely. Where we rely on third-party processors (Wix, Google), we rely on their security infrastructure and contractual commitments.

No method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure. While we take care, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised date. We recommend checking this page periodically if you use the site regularly.

12. Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, wish to exercise your data rights, or have a concern about how your data has been handled, please contact us via the social links on dkoi.design.
