Our role as a data processor.

We host and maintain a number of websites. It is, therefore, our responsibility to ensure that steps are being taken to ensure any information stored on those servers have adequate security measures in place. It is our client’s responsibility to ensure any information stored on the server is not sensitive. We are the data processor for those clients but they are the data controller. Under the GDPR regulations, the controller needs to adequately investigate that all processors are equipped to handle the kind of data they wish to capture / store.

We use DigitalOcean as the provider of our servers. You can read more information about their Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy here.

We also use Kinsta and its hosting services, you can read more information about their Privacy Policy and other legal assets here.

We believe it would not be best practice to highlight online exactly how we have our servers set up and managed as this could give valuable insight to any malicious hackers. If you would like to find out more information about our roles and responsibilities for server hosting and management please email piers@atomicsmash.co.uk and we can send you the relevant information if it is applicable to you.

All of our clients are aware of their hosting set-up and also are aware that there are procedures in place for security and if they wish to have any information deleted from the server.

We do not have control of what information our clients wish to host on their servers. If they decide to hold a database of names/emails and passwords on their website we are unable to prohibit this and we cannot be held responsible for any sensitive information being leaked from the website.

You can read more about this in our Terms and Conditions.

What happens when you work with us?

As a client when you decide to work with Atomic Smash Ltd there will be a relationship put in a place and as part of the website design/development process, a large amount of information will flow between parties. We will require information from you to sign contracts etc, all of this information will be stored in an online environment called Jira or Trello which is only accessible to members of the working group. This information will also be stored in email accounts and also Google Drive.

You can read Google Drive and about their terms of services here.

You can read Jira and about their terms of services here.

If we complete any user testing on behalf of your project then this information will be stored in a secure Google Drive folder for the duration of the project and our relationship together.

Often with website projects, there is a requirement to share user information between parties, eg. from an old website provider to a new one. When this happens it will be the responsibility of the client to make the users aware that this transfer of their information is going to happen. When we are given sensitive data around a client’s users/members then we ensure this is only shared with the relevant users within the organisation and also is stored within a secure Google Drive account. We retain this information for as long as is required and then delete it accordingly.
