The Roy Effect — dirt, refined into gold

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026. This policy explains how Rory Chandler, doing business as The Roy Effect ("we", "us"), collects and uses information at theroyeffect.com.

Information we collect

  • Information you give us: your name, email address, phone number, business name, and anything you write in a form, booking, or message.
  • Information collected automatically: IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring page, through standard web analytics.

How we use it

  • To reply to your enquiry and schedule calls.
  • To design, build, and deliver work you have asked us to do.
  • To send invoices, project updates, and appointment reminders.
  • To send marketing messages, only where you have asked to receive them.

Mobile information and text messages

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All other categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

We text you only where you have given consent. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to opt out, or HELP for help. Opting out of text messages does not affect email or phone contact.

Who we share information with

We do not sell your information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate — our CRM and scheduling platform, our payment processor, and our email and hosting providers — and only so they can perform that service for us. We also disclose information where the law requires it.

Cookies and analytics

Our site uses cookies and analytics to understand how pages are used. You can block cookies in your browser; parts of the site may then work less well.

Keeping and deleting information

We keep information for as long as we are working together and for as long afterwards as we need it for tax, legal, and record-keeping purposes. You may ask us to delete your information at any time by emailing rory@theroyeffect.com, and we will do so unless we are required to keep it.

Your choices

You can ask us what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, unsubscribe from email at the bottom of any email, and stop text messages by replying STOP.

Children

Our services are for businesses. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date at the top.
