This Privacy Notice explains how personal data may be collected, used, stored and protected when you visit solsolo.com, contact SOL SOLO, submit an enquiry, or otherwise interact with this website.
SOL SOLO is presented on this website as a creative and publishing practice associated with CARLOS SIMPSON™ Design Studio. This Privacy Notice explains how information relating to identifiable individuals may be handled when you visit the website, contact Sol Solo, submit an enquiry, or otherwise interact with the site and its services.
It explains what personal data may be collected, why it may be used, how long it may be retained, who it may be shared with, and the rights you may have under applicable data protection law.
This notice is intended for website visitors, people who contact Sol Solo, collaborators, clients, prospective clients, press contacts, and others who interact with the website or communicate through it.
This notice is drafted with reference to the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and other applicable privacy and data protection obligations.
For the purposes of this website and communications connected with it, personal data may be controlled by Carlos Simpson and/or the relevant Carlos Simpson business or practice operating the website, including SOL SOLO and, where relevant, CARLOS SIMPSON™ Design Studio.

If you contact Sol Solo about privacy, data protection, access requests, correction requests or related matters, your message may be handled by Carlos Simpson or the relevant Carlos Simpson practice or studio responsible for the website and the associated communication.
The categories of personal data collected will depend on how you use the website and whether you contact Sol Solo directly.
Sol Solo is not intended as a platform for collecting large volumes of sensitive personal information. Please do not send confidential, special category or unnecessary personal data unless it is genuinely needed and appropriate to the purpose of your enquiry.
Personal data may be used to operate the website, respond to enquiries, manage communications, protect the website, maintain records and support legitimate business, editorial, publishing or practice-related activities connected with Sol Solo.
| Purpose | Examples of activity | Typical data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Responding to enquiries | Replying to messages, requests, project enquiries, media enquiries or other correspondence. | Name, email address, organisation, message contents, correspondence history. |
| Running and securing the website | Monitoring performance, maintaining availability, addressing technical issues, protecting against abuse or misuse. | IP address, browser/device information, usage logs, security and diagnostic data. |
| Managing creative, editorial or professional communications | Handling requests connected with projects, publishing, collaborations, rights, permissions, invitations or related professional matters. | Contact details, enquiry contents, professional details, correspondence records. |
| Improving website performance and user experience | Understanding how pages are used, identifying technical issues and improving the structure or effectiveness of the website. | Analytics data, browsing behaviour, device/browser information, approximate location data. |
| Record-keeping and business administration | Keeping a record of communications, decisions, requests, permissions or project-related exchanges where reasonably necessary. | Names, email addresses, messages, related administrative notes or records. |
Depending on the context, Sol Solo may rely on one or more lawful bases under the UK GDPR when processing personal data.
This may include operating the website, responding to professional enquiries, protecting the website, maintaining records, and managing ordinary editorial, publishing, creative or practice-related communications where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
If you contact Sol Solo about a project, commission, collaboration, consultancy, speaking request, rights request or related service matter, your data may be processed in order to consider the request, take steps at your request before entering into an agreement, or perform a contract where one exists.
In some cases, personal data may need to be processed in order to comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention or other compliance obligations.
Where consent is used as the lawful basis, you are generally free to withdraw it, although this will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
The website may use cookies, analytics tools, security tools or similar technologies to help the site function, understand performance, improve user experience and protect the website.
The exact cookie and analytics setup may depend on the current website configuration, plugins, hosting environment and consent tools in use at the relevant time. If a cookie banner or consent mechanism is active on the site, that should be read alongside this Privacy Notice.
Personal data will not be sold. However, it may be shared where reasonably necessary with service providers or other parties involved in operating the website or handling the relevant communication.
Because Sol Solo operates within a wider Carlos Simpson practice ecosystem, a message sent through the website may be handled through Carlos Simpson, CARLOS SIMPSON™ Design Studio, or another relevant Carlos Simpson business or practice where this is necessary to deal properly with the enquiry or manage the website.
Personal data will generally be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, unless a longer retention period is required or justified by law, legitimate record-keeping needs, dispute management, security, tax, accounting or compliance requirements.
Sol Solo aims to avoid keeping personal data for longer than is reasonably needed. However, complete immediate deletion is not always possible where data forms part of email archives, security logs, administrative records, backups or lawful record-keeping obligations.
Depending on the circumstances and the applicable law, you may have a number of rights in relation to your personal data.
To make a privacy-related request, please contact: de**********@***********on.com
If making a request, please provide enough information to identify the relevant interaction or data and to confirm that you are the person entitled to make the request.
Reasonable technical and organisational measures may be used to protect personal data against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, disclosure or alteration. However, no internet-based system or email transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Please avoid sending highly sensitive, confidential or unnecessary personal information through ordinary website contact forms or unsecured email unless there is a clear reason to do so.
The website may contain links to external websites, platforms or third-party services. Sol Solo is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that it does not control.
If you follow a link to an external site, you should review that site’s own privacy information, terms and policies. This is particularly important where you interact with third-party social platforms, embedded services, external media services or external enquiry tools.
This Privacy Notice may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, legal obligations, operational arrangements, analytics setup, contact routes or the wider Sol Solo / Carlos Simpson practice structure.
The version published on this page is the current version. The Last reviewed date at the top of the page indicates when this notice was last substantively reviewed.

No statement in this notice suggests that Sol Solo sells personal data. Data may, however, be shared with service providers or advisers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, manage communications or comply with legal obligations.
Email correspondence may need to be retained to respond to the enquiry, keep a reasonable administrative record, manage a project or professional relationship, address follow-up questions, or protect legitimate business and legal interests.
You can ask. Whether deletion is possible in full will depend on the circumstances, the legal basis for retaining the data, and whether the information must be kept for legitimate record-keeping, compliance, security or legal reasons.
Not automatically. This notice is drafted for Sol Solo / solsolo.com. Other Carlos Simpson websites, brands or practices may have their own privacy notices, policies or data-handling arrangements.
This Privacy Notice is intended to provide a clear public explanation of how Sol Solo may handle personal data in connection with the website and related communications. It should be read alongside the website’s Terms, Content Rights Policy and any other relevant website notices or consent tools.
