What this site knows about you.

The short version: almost nothing, and only if you type it in. This site sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and loads nothing from any other company — no fonts from Google, no scripts from a CDN, no tracking pixel. There is no banner asking you to accept cookies because there are no cookies to accept. You can check that yourself in about ten seconds: open your browser developer tools, look at Application and then at Network, and see that the cookie jar is empty and that every request goes to wendl.ie. Measured that way on 6 September 2026.

What is collected, and only when you ask

Two forms on this site take personal data, and neither runs unless you fill it in. The email signup takes your email address, so the list has somewhere to send the occasional note about what has shipped. The contact form takes your name, your email address and your message, so there is something to reply to and somewhere to send the reply. Nothing else on the site records anything about you.

The legal basis for the list is your consent, and it is a real double opt-in: you get one email asking you to confirm, and until you click it you are not on the list and will hear nothing further. The legal basis for the contact form is that you asked a question and would like an answer. Neither is ever sold, shared, rented or used to build a profile of you, and there is no third use hiding behind a phrase like "and related purposes".

Who else touches it, said plainly

Two companies process this data on my behalf, and pretending otherwise would be exactly the sort of claim this site exists to avoid making.

MailerLite runs the email list, and your address goes to them when you sign up. They are an EU company processing the list inside the EEA under a data processing agreement, so your address does not leave Europe. Your browser never contacts them — not when the page loads and not when you submit — because the signup posts to this site and a function on this origin makes the call server-side. Marketing companies therefore get no request from your browser for the simple act of reading a page here, and the API key never appears in the page at all.

Netlify hosts the site and stores contact-form submissions. Like every web server on the internet, theirs records the requests it serves: your IP address, the page you asked for, the time, and which browser asked. Here is the cost, and it is the one part of this page that is not tidy — Netlify is a United States company, so that request data, and anything you send through the contact form, is handled outside the EEA. I would rather write that sentence than let you assume a site this careful about third-party requests had also somehow solved where its own server lives. It has not. That is the trade for being hosted rather than self-hosted, and it applies to nearly every small site you visit, including the ones that never mention it.

How long it is kept

Email addresses stay on the list until you leave it. Every email carries a one-click unsubscribe, and leaving removes you — no "are you sure" and no win-back sequence. MailerLite keeps only what it must in order to honour that unsubscribe, and nothing else is kept at all.

Contact messages are kept until I delete them, and I am not going to invent a retention schedule I do not keep. A page claiming "submissions are deleted after 90 days" is worth nothing unless something actually does it, and nothing here does. They sit in the Netlify dashboard. If you would like yours removed, ask and it goes.

What the tools themselves collect

Nothing — and that one you can check rather than take from me. The permissions each extension asks for are listed on the home page, and the record gives the same per tool with the version and the date it shipped. Those lists are written by me, so treat them as a claim too — the evidence is the permission list Chrome itself shows you in the install dialog and on each store listing, which comes from the extension's manifest and which I cannot edit. If the two ever disagree, believe Chrome.

Your rights, and where to complain about me

Under the GDPR you can ask for a copy of what I hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, ask for it to be deleted, ask me to restrict or stop using it, ask for it in a portable form, and object to it being used at all. There is no charge for any of that and no form to fill in beyond asking.

The contact form is the route, and it is the only contact route this site publishes — deliberately, because an email address on a public page is harvested within days. That costs you one extra click, which is the honest trade. I reply to the address you give and use it for nothing else.

If you are not satisfied with how I handle it, you are entitled to complain to the Irish supervisory authority, the Data Protection Commission, and you need neither my permission nor my agreement to do it.

Who is responsible

The data controller is WendL Studio, a sole trader in Wicklow, Ireland, reachable through the contact form. This notice covers wendl.ie and nothing else: links out of here — to the Chrome Web Store, to Payhip, to Instagram or Pinterest — land on companies with their own policies and their own trackers, and the moment you follow one, none of the above applies any more.
