Privacy policy

Last updated: 17/07/2026

The short version

We don’t track you. There is no Google Analytics on this site, no advertising pixels and no third-party tracking cookies – which is why we don’t ask you to accept any. We only hold personal information when you choose to give it to us, by sending us a brief or subscribing to our newsletter, and we use it only to reply to you or to send you the thing you asked for. We don’t sell your data, and we never will.

Who we are

Blink Image is an architectural visualisation studio working with property developers, planning consultants and architects. We have been in the sector since 1998. Under UK data protection law we are the “data controller” for the personal information described on this page – meaning we decide what is collected and why.

When you contact us

If you send us a brief, ask for a price, or get in touch through our contact form, by email or by phone, we collect what you choose to tell us. Typically that is your name, email address, company and whatever you share about your project.

We use it to reply to you, to prepare a quote, and – if you go on to instruct us – to run the project. Messages sent through the contact form are stored in this website and emailed to us at hello@blinkimage.com.

Our lawful basis is legitimate interests (answering an enquiry you asked us to answer) and, once you instruct us, performance of a contract.

When you subscribe to the newsletter

Our newsletter, Seeing is Selling, is run on Beehiiv. If you subscribe, your email address is passed to Beehiiv, who store it and send the newsletter on our behalf. Like any email platform, Beehiiv records standard engagement data – whether an issue was opened and which links were clicked – which we use to judge whether what we’re writing is useful.

Our lawful basis is consent. Every issue carries an unsubscribe link, it works immediately, and we won’t email you about anything else unless you ask us to.

When you are just reading the site

We don’t run analytics on this website. We don’t know who you are, we don’t build a profile of you, and there is no advertising or tracking code here. You can read every page without telling us anything.

As with virtually every website, our web server keeps standard access logs – IP address, browser type and pages requested – which exist for security and troubleshooting, and are not used to identify or profile visitors.

Cookies

This site sets no analytics or advertising cookies. That is the honest reason you aren’t greeted by a cookie banner: there is nothing to consent to. WordPress sets a small number of cookies when someone logs in to administer the site, but that is us, not you.

If you play one of our videos, Vimeo may set its own cookies. We embed every video with Vimeo’s Do Not Track setting switched on, which prevents Vimeo from tracking your viewing for advertising purposes.

Who else is involved

We keep the list of third parties deliberately short:

  • Vimeo – hosts the video on this site, embedded with Do Not Track enabled.
  • Beehiiv – runs our newsletter. Newsletter issues republished on this site may load images from Beehiiv’s servers.
  • Krystal – hosts this website on UK servers.

We do not sell your information, we do not share it for advertising, and we do not pass it to anyone else except where we are required to by law.

How long we keep it

  • Enquiries that don’t become projects – 1 years
  • Client and project records – 7 years, to meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations
  • Newsletter subscribers – until you unsubscribe

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to ask us to:

  • give you a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • correct anything that is wrong
  • delete it
  • restrict or object to how we use it
  • transfer it to someone else

Email hello@blinkimage.com and we will respond within one month, free of charge. There is no form to fill in and no hoops to jump through – just ask.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first – we would far rather put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK regulator, at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle personal information, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will say so plainly rather than bury it.
