Your Questions Answered
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about our mailing list to help you make an informed decision.
What content will I receive by subscribing?
You’ll receive four practical guides by return email, covering the areas small businesses and charities ask about most. The Plain English Prompting cheat sheet shows you how to get better results from AI tools like ChatGPT. The Cyber Resilience Self-Assessment helps you identify your security gaps in around 15 minutes. The First Hour is a step-by-step checklist for the first 60 minutes of a cyber incident. And the UK GDPR in Plain English checklist walks you through the ten things every small organisation should have covered. All four are free, downloadable, and written without jargon.
How often will I receive emails from DoneTechGuides?
Not often. We send a new guide or practical resource roughly once a month — sometimes less. We don’t believe in filling inboxes for the sake of it. Every email we send contains something genuinely useful for running a small business or charity more safely and efficiently. No filler, no fluff.
Is my email address safe?
Yes. We take data protection seriously Your email address is stored securely via our email platform, and is never shared with, sold to, or passed on to any third party. We collect it solely to send you the guides you’ve asked for and our occasional updates. You can read our full Privacy Policy for the detail, but the short version is: your data is yours, and we treat it accordingly.
Can I unsubscribe at any time?
Absolutely. Every email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom — no hoops, no “are you sure?”, no hard feelings. Under UK GDPR you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, and we make that as straightforward as possible. If you unsubscribe, your email address is removed promptly and we won’t contact you again.
Is this relevant to charities as well as small businesses?
Very much so. Everything on DoneTechGuides is written with both audiences in mind. Charities face the same cybersecurity threats as small businesses — and in some cases greater ones, since they often hold sensitive beneficiary data and have fewer resources to deal with an incident. The GDPR checklist, the cyber resilience assessment, and the incident response checklist are all directly applicable to charity trustees, managers and staff. If you’re running a small or medium-sized charity with no in-house IT support, this site was built with you in mind.
Do I need a technical background to use these guides?
No. That’s the whole point. DoneTechGuides exists because most cybersecurity and technology advice is written for IT professionals, not the people who actually run small organisations. Everything here is written in plain English, assumes no technical knowledge, and focuses on practical actions rather than theory. If you can read a staff handbook, you can use these guides.
