Who we are
Guess Design House is a partnership between Gareth Esson and Daryl McCollin, providing brand consultancy and video production services. Our website is guessdesignhouse.com.
For any data-protection question, contact Gareth Esson at gareth@guessdesignhouse.com. For everything else, hello@guessdesignhouse.com is the front door.
What information we collect
When you fill in the contact form on this site, we collect:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The message you send
- Your selection of which practice your enquiry is for
When you browse the site, we may also collect anonymous usage data — see Cookies and Hosting and analytics below. We do not run third-party advertising. We do not sell or share your information.
Where it goes
Form submissions are sent via Resend to the relevant partner’s email address. A copy is sent to you as confirmation. We retain enquiries in our email systems for project records and continuity. You can ask us to delete your enquiry at any time by emailing hello@guessdesignhouse.com.
Cookies
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. This site uses two kinds:
Strictly necessary (no consent required — these make the site work):
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
gdh-consent | Remembers your cookie-banner choice so we don’t keep asking. | 12 months |
daryl-preview | Internal access cookie for the video-practice maintenance gate. Only set if you’ve used a preview link. | 7 days |
Analytics (only set after you choose “Accept all” in the cookie banner):
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors. | 2 years |
_ga_VM9ECLM8EG | Google Analytics — session state for this property. | 2 years |
If you choose “Reject all”, no analytics cookies are set. Google Analytics still receives anonymous, aggregated page-view counts via “Consent Mode” — these contain no identifiers, no client ID, and cannot be tied back to you. If you’d rather we received nothing at all, install Google’s opt-out browser add-on or block third-party scripts in your browser.
You can change your choice at any time via the Cookie settings link in the site footer.
Hosting and analytics
This website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel’s standard server logs (IP address, user agent, request URL, timestamp) are processed for security and operational purposes per their privacy policy.
If you consent, this site also uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages people read and how they arrived. We have IP anonymisation enabled and we do not enable Google Signals, ad personalisation, or data sharing for advertising. Data is retained in Google Analytics for 14 months.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to ask us what information we hold about you, correct anything that’s wrong, ask us to delete it, or object to its processing. Email gareth@guessdesignhouse.com for any of these.
If you’re not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
Updates
We’ll update this policy if our practices change. The date at the top reflects the most recent update.
