Who I am

This website is run by Pontus Materials, the trading name of Inga Tuzovskaya, an independent materials consultant based in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. I am the data controller for any personal information you send me through this site. You can contact me at inga.tuzovskaya@pontusmaterials.com.

What I collect

When you use the contact form or email me, I receive the details you choose to give: your name, company, email address, phone number and the content of your message. This site does not use analytics, advertising trackers or cookies.

Why I use it

I use your details only to reply to your enquiry and, if we work together, to provide and invoice the services agreed. The lawful basis is your consent, given through the form, and steps taken at your request before entering into a contract. I will not send you marketing and I will never sell or share your details with third parties for their own use.

Who processes it

Messages sent through the contact form are received by a small server I run on DigitalOcean (London, UK), which passes them straight to the email-delivery service Resend so they arrive in my inbox. The server does not store the content of your message. Resend is based in the United States, so your message is transferred outside the UK when it is sent; Resend handles it under its data processing terms. Emails are then stored in my Microsoft 365 email account. These providers act only on my instructions.

How long I keep it

Enquiries that don't lead to work are deleted within 12 months. Records of paid engagements are kept for as long as UK tax law requires (currently up to 6 years).

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information I hold about you, or withdraw your consent, by emailing me. If you are unhappy with how your data has been handled, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
