The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 came into force on 25 May 2018, superseding the Data Protection Act 1998.
GDPR to apply despite Brexit and impacts all organisations that control or process personal data. It grants data subjects a range of new rights, giving them more control over how their data is used.
Organisations are subject to new responsibilities and obligations, including the need to demonstrate compliance.
Bglighthouse are committed to ensuring protection of all personal information that we hold, and to provide and to protect all such data. We recognise our obligations in updating and expanding this program to meet the requirements of GDPR.
Bglighthouse are dedicated to safeguarding the personal information under our control and in maintaining a system that meets our obligations under the new regulations. Our practice is summarised below.
At Bglighthouse, we are committed to protecting and respecting the privacy of individuals and take our obligations under data protection legislation seriously.
In line with the regulation, we are required to inform you of any other processors involved in the processing of your data.
We have sought and have recorded assurances from other processors, where they are used; and they are as follows:
We store some sales and leads data in a hosted CRM (Perfex) https://help.perfexcrm.com/gdpr-compliance/
We use Dropbox for some project related information. https://www.dropbox.com/en_GB/security/GDPR
For our hosted services we use the following processors:
Hetzner Online GmbH https://www.hetzner.com/legal/terms-and-conditions
Where we provide hosting services to our clients we act as data processors on the behalf of our client who are data controllers under the terms of the regulation.
Data Controllers are required to seek assurances from data processors that data processing is being carried out in a manner where reasonable technical and organisational measures, are being taken to secure the data being processed. Data Processors are required to provide this information on request.
Access to the administrative portions of the hosting infrastructure are highly restricted, limited to a few people within the business.
All hosted services are protected by multiple layers of protection. Every server is protected by a hardware firewall that only passes genuine traffic destined for specific services. Access to critical services are disabled and restricted as necessary.
Each server is further protected by an additional software firewall and physical DDOS appliance. The software firewall is configured to only allow relevant network services.
Further to this, each CMS website is protected by a software-based Web Application Firewall to provide protection against common vulnerabilities etc. We also employ intrusion detection systems on the servers that are monitored for unusual behaviour.
Website files, databases and other data relating to the website, underlying content management system files, version and so on are the sole responsibility of the customer.
Bglighthouse are responsible for the security of the Operating System and firewall configurations alongside updating the WHM/CPanel software on the servers only.
You agree that your comments will not violate any right of any third-party, including copyright, trademark, privacy, personality or other personal or proprietary right.
You further agree that your comments will not contain libelous or otherwise unlawful, abusive or obscene material, or contain any computer virus or other malware that could in any way affect the operation of the service or any related website.
You may not use a false e-mail address, pretend to be someone other than yourself, or otherwise mislead us or third-parties as to the origin of any comments. You are solely responsible for any comments you make and their accuracy. We take no responsibility and assume no liability for any comments posted by you or any third-party.
Where you have contracted Bglighthouse to design or build a website or web application for you, we are neither data controllers nor data processors with respect to the function and data collection that you provide for on your site / application.
In these circumstances the client is acting as a Data Controller and the company hosting the site is acting as a processor and the Controller should seek written assurances from the processor around the measures being taken to secure the data.
Where you have contracted Bglighthouse to consult upon, build, and deploy internal IT systems, Bglighthouse is not responsible for the way in which these systems are used and, as Data Controllers it is your responsibility to ensure that your IT systems and the organisational policies and procedures are compliant with the regulation. Bglighthouse is willing to assist with this in whatever way possible.
