Any personal information that is provided through our website is encrypted and protected with 128 Bit SSL encryption. However, non-sensitive details (your email address etc.) that are transmitted normally over the internet can never be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we take steps to ensure that appropriate technical and organisational controls are in place to protect it.

Sharing and disclosing your information

Atomic takes your privacy very seriously and will never disclose, share or sell your data without your consent, unless required to do so by law. We only retain your data for as long as is necessary and for the purposes specified in this notice.

How long we keep your information

Atomic will only ever retain personal information for as long as is necessary and we have strict review and retention policies in place to meet these obligations. Within these periods we will hold your data until you request it to be destroyed.

Third-party data processors

We use several third parties to process personal data on our behalf. All processors acting on our behalf only process your data in accordance with instructions from us and comply fully with this privacy notice, data protection laws and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

If we receive a request from you to exercise any of the above rights, we may ask you to verify your identity before acting on the relevant request; this is to ensure that your data is protected and kept secure.
