Privacy policy

Overview

Design System Tactics is an educational platform created by Ness Grixti. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and how we use it.

In short: We collect only what we need to provide the service, and we never sell or share your data with advertisers.

What We Collect

Account Information

• Email address (required) — Used to sign you in via magic link and manage your account. This is the only required personal information.
• First name or nickname (optional) — Used to personalise your experience (e.g., "Hi Alex"). You can use any name you prefer, including pseudonyms.
• Marketing preference (optional) — Whether you want to receive updates about new content. You can change this at any time in your account settings.

Contact Form

When you use the "Let's work together" form, we collect your name, email, company (optional), and message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

Usage Data

We store which tactics and strategies you save so they appear in your saved items. We do not track your browsing behaviour or build profiles for advertising.

How We Use Your Data

• To authenticate you and provide access to your account
• To save your favourite tactics and strategies
• To respond to enquiries submitted via contact forms
• To send updates about new content (only if you opt in)

Data Retention

Account data: Retained while your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from your account settings, which permanently removes all your data.

Contact form submissions: Retained for up to 12 months to handle follow-up communication, then deleted.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

Your data may be processed by service providers that help us run the site (e.g., hosting, email delivery). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only as instructed.
