What happens to your details
You send me a few details and some photographs so I can work out what your kit is worth. This page says where they go, who can see them, how long I keep them and how to get them deleted. It is written plainly on purpose — if anything here is unclear, ring me and ask.

What the form asks you for
Your name, an email address, and — if you want to give one — a phone number. The first half of your postcode, so I can work out whether I can collect. What you have, whether it works, and how you would like it to reach me. And, if you want to add them, up to eight photographs of the kit.
That is all of it. There is nothing hidden in the form, and nothing on this site asks you to make an account.
Something you did not type gets recorded too
The company that runs the form works out an approximate location from your internet connection — a country and a town, never a street or a house — and notes which browser and which kind of device you used. It arrives at the bottom of the email I get.
You are not asked for it and I do not do anything with it. It is worth knowing it is there.
Photographs sent through this form carry no location
Phones quietly write the place a photograph was taken into the file itself. Before anything leaves your phone, this page shrinks each picture in your own browser, and that removes all of it — the location, the date, the camera settings. What reaches me is the picture and nothing else. That happens on your device, before the photograph is sent anywhere.
It only happens here, though. If you send me a photograph on WhatsApp instead, it goes as your phone saved it, and that may include where you were standing. Nothing is wrong with sending one that way — it is worth knowing the difference.
Where the photographs are kept
The form company stores your photographs at a web address, and the email I receive links to them rather than carrying them. That is ordinary for services of this kind, and it is worth knowing that a photograph you send is a file sitting on somebody's server rather than a letter in a drawer.
So it is worth a glance at what is in the background before you take the picture. If you would rather a photograph was not kept at all, ask and I will delete the submission.
Who can see a submission
Two parties, and no others. Me. And the company that runs the form: UXPLUS LTD, a UK-registered company trading as Forminit, which stores submissions on servers in the European Union under a written data protection agreement.
Your details are not sold, not passed to anyone else, and not used to advertise anything to you.
How long I keep it
Not forever, and no longer than I need it. I clear out old requests as I go, and once a deal is done or one of us has said no, yours is in that pile. Deleting a request takes its photographs with it.
Nothing deletes itself automatically, so this is me doing it rather than a machine. If you would rather not wait for me to get to it, ask and it is gone — you do not need a reason.
Getting your details deleted, or asking what I hold
Email me at jim@jimbuyscameras.co.uk and say so. You do not have to give a reason, and you do not have to have sold me anything. I will confirm once it is done.
What this site counts
The site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, from Cloudflare, the company that hosts it. It counts visits: which page was opened, which website sent you here, roughly which country you are in, and what kind of browser and device you used. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your phone or computer, and does not follow you to other websites. It tells me how many people came, not who they were.
Each of my cards and flyers has its own short web address in its QR code, so I can see which ones people actually scan. That is a count, not a name.
Nothing you type reaches anyone until you press the button to send your details.
If you are not happy with how I have handled it
Just tell me — most things are a mix-up and I'd rather sort it out with you directly.
