Privacy Policy

DealSurge.co's transparent privacy policy. Learn how we protect your data, what we collect, and your rights under UK/EU GDPR in plain English.

Last Updated: 1 August 2025

Hey there! We're DealSurge.co, and we want to be completely transparent about how we handle your personal information. We believe privacy should be simple to understand, so we've written this policy in plain English.

Who We Are

We're a UK-based marketing agency that loves helping businesses grow. Unlike many companies, we run everything on our own servers, which means we don't have to share your data with lots of third parties just to keep our lights on.

The person responsible for your data: Michael Garrett

Location: United Kingdom

What Information We Collect

We only collect what we actually need. Here's the honest truth about what that includes:

When you contact us or fill out a form:

  • Your name, email, company name, and whatever message you send us
  • Some basic tech stuff like what page you came from and what browser you're using (this helps us fix problems if something breaks)

If you become a client:

  • The usual business stuff like project details, our conversations, and payment info
  • We store this in our own database that we control completely

If you sign up for our newsletter:

  • Just your email address and info about whether you actually read our emails (don't worry, we won't judge if you don't!)
  • You can unsubscribe anytime using the link at the bottom of any email

How We Use Your Information

We're pretty straightforward about this:

  • To actually respond when you reach out to us (seems obvious, right?)
  • To do the work we've agreed to do and keep you updated on projects
  • To send you our newsletter, but only if you specifically asked for it
  • To understand how people use our website so we can make it better
  • To follow the law when we have to keep records for tax purposes and stuff like that

Why We're Allowed to Use Your Data

The legal stuff matters, so here's why we can process your information:

  • You said it's okay when you signed up for emails or asked us to contact you
  • We have a business relationship and need your info to do our job
  • It makes sense for running our business like keeping our website secure
  • The law requires it for things like keeping financial records

How Long We Keep Your Information

We don't hoard your data forever:

  • Contact form submissions: Up to 12 months (then we delete them)
  • Client information: While we're working together, plus 7 years for accounting purposes
  • Website analytics: We only keep anonymous, aggregated data anyway
  • Newsletter subscriptions: Until you decide you've had enough and unsubscribe

Do We Share Your Data?

Short answer: We don't sell your information. Ever.

We only share data when we absolutely have to, and only with services we control ourselves. We're pretty paranoid about keeping your information in-house.

Your Rights (The Important Stuff)

UK and EU law gives you some pretty powerful rights over your data:

  • See everything we have about you
  • Fix anything that's wrong
  • Ask us to delete your information
  • Tell us to stop using your data for certain things
  • Change your mind about giving us permission
  • Complain to the ICO (in the UK) or your local data protection authority if we mess up

Want to use any of these rights? Just email us at privacy@dealsurge.co and we'll sort it out.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We take security seriously and use industry best practices:

  • Everything is encrypted and runs through secure networks
  • Only the right people can access the right information
  • We regularly check our systems to make sure everything's locked down tight

Cookies and Tracking

Here's some good news: we don't use cookies to follow you around the internet or show you ads.

We do use something called Plausible Analytics to understand how people use our website, but it doesn't collect any personal information about you. It's privacy-focused and runs on our own servers, so your data never leaves our control.

Questions?

If anything in this policy doesn't make sense, or if you have concerns about your data, just reach out:
