Privacy & Terms, plainly written.
Proper CVs is who we are: a sub-brand of the Proper family, making proper good stuff since 2026. We're a small UK operation. This page covers the legal stuff: how we handle your data, and what we promise when you become a customer.
If you have a question that isn't answered here, email us at propergoodsites@outlook.com.
Privacy Policy
Last updated 19 May 2026.
What we collect
When you fill in the contact form, we collect your name, email address, a link to your CV or LinkedIn, your preferred domain, and any notes you've written. Nothing else.
If you become a paying customer, we also collect your billing details via Stripe (we don't see your card numbers; Stripe handles that), and any content you send us for your site (text, photos, links).
We do not use tracking cookies, analytics scripts, or ad pixels. Our site is plain HTML.
Why we collect it
To reply to your enquiry and build your site. That is the entire reason. We don't sell, share, or rent your data to anyone for any purpose.
Where it's stored
- Form submissions: routed via Web3Forms (a form-handling service) into our email inbox.
- Email: stored in our standard email provider (Outlook).
- Payment data: handled by Stripe; we never see card numbers.
- Your site files: hosted on Cloudflare.
How long we keep it
- Enquiries from people who didn't become customers: 12 months from your last message, then deleted.
- Customer records: for as long as you're a customer, plus 6 years after (UK tax law requires this).
- Stripe billing records: handled by Stripe per their own terms.
Our legal basis
- Legitimate interest, when responding to enquiries (you contacted us, we reply).
- Contract, when you're a paying customer (we need it to deliver the service).
Your rights under UK GDPR
You can ask us to:
- Show you what data we hold about you.
- Correct anything that's wrong.
- Delete your data (within the limits of our legal record-keeping duties).
- Stop processing your data.
- Transfer your data to another service.
Email us to exercise any of these. We'll respond within 30 days.
If you think we've handled your data badly, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk.
Updates to this policy
If we change anything material, we'll update this page and email any active customers.
Terms of Service
Last updated 19 May 2026.
By using Proper CVs to build your personal website, you agree to these terms.
Who we are
Proper CVs is a sub-brand of Proper Good Sites, a UK web-design operation. Reach us at propergoodsites@outlook.com.
What we deliver
A clean, one-page personal website at your own name domain, built within five working days of your written go-ahead. This includes:
- A free static mockup before you pay anything.
- One round of revisions on the mockup.
- Site live at your chosen domain.
- Ongoing hosting on Cloudflare.
- Two content updates per rolling year.
What it costs
Pricing is on our pricing page. Currently: free mockup, £49 setup (waived for the first 5 customers), £10/month or £84/year hosting, £20 for your custom domain in year one (admin plus registration), then £10/year for renewal. Optional add-ons (photo shoot, extra pages, custom animation) are priced on the add-ons page.
The price you see is the price you pay. We don't haggle and we don't upsell.
Payment
We use Stripe to take payment. You'll get a Stripe payment link by email once you've approved your mockup. Subscription billing happens automatically each month or year as you've chosen.
The setup fee is a one-off, paid before your site goes live. Hosting is recurring with a 3-month minimum (£30 upfront on monthly), or paid annually upfront.
Your domain
We register your custom domain on your behalf via Cloudflare. The domain is registered in your name from day one. You own it. We never hold it. If you ever cancel, we transfer it to your nominated registrar at no extra cost.
IP and content ownership
You own the content you give us (text, photos, your bio). We own the underlying code template and visual design system. If you ever want the raw site files (for self-hosting), we'll hand them over for a one-off £50.
Updates and changes after launch
Two content updates per rolling year are included (job title change, refreshed photo, new project, that sort of thing). Beyond that, each update is £15 flat. Bigger changes (extra pages, redesigns, custom animations) are quoted separately.
Cancellation
Cancel anytime after the 3-month minimum. We won't charge you again. You keep your domain. Your live site is taken down within 30 days of cancellation unless you've requested files (£50).
Your 14-day consumer cooling-off
UK law gives you 14 days from purchase to cancel without reason. If you ask us to start building your site within those 14 days (which usually happens, because nobody wants to wait two weeks for their mockup), you waive your cooling-off right by that express request.
Liability
Our liability to you for any claim is capped at three months of fees you've paid us. We are not liable for any lost revenue, lost opportunities, or other indirect losses. We're a small operation; we couldn't carry that risk.
Changes to these terms
If we change anything material, we'll email all current customers 30 days before it takes effect.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Any dispute will be resolved in the English courts. If you have a complaint, email us first; we respond fast and try to put things right without bringing in lawyers.
