Privacy & cookies.
A factual account of what this website does with information. Written to be read, not skimmed past.
§1
Controller
ATS INCORPORATED LTD, 81 Sotheby Road, London, England, N5 2UT (“ATS”), controls personal data collected through atsincorporated.org. Contact: inc@atsincorporated.org, +44 7307 379491.
§2
What we collect and how
We collect only the details you enter into the enquiry or support forms: name, email, message and any optional fields (telephone, organisation, project stage, goals, audience, budget, timescale, issue). A hidden blank field helps detect automated spam.
On submission, your browser sends the data to a script on our web host. The script validates it and hands it to the host’s mail transport addressed to our company mailbox. A reference code shown on screen means the mail transport accepted the message for processing; it does not prove the message has reached our inbox. If you get no reply within two working days, please telephone or email.
For abuse prevention, the script keeps a temporary counter keyed to a one-way hash of your IP address for roughly fifteen minutes, outside the public website folder. Message contents are not stored on the web server by the script.
§3
Lawful basis
Responding to your request and pre-contract steps (UK GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)); our legitimate interest in operating and protecting our business (Art. 6(1)(f)). You confirm consent to this processing when you tick the box on a form.
§4
Cookies and local storage
No analytics, advertising or tracking cookies are used. Your cookie choice is kept in your browser’s local storage as strictly necessary. If you accept optional storage, the scoping sheet and checklists remember your entries on this device only; rejecting deletes any such entries and stores nothing optional. Web fonts are fetched from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google to download them.
§5
Retention and sharing
Enquiry correspondence is kept as long as needed for the conversation and up to two years afterwards, unless it forms part of a contract record. Our hosting and email providers process data on our behalf. We do not sell personal data or use it for marketing lists.
§6
Your rights
You may request access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection and portability where applicable. Contact us using the details above. You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
