Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy has been compiled by Atomic Artisans to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018 and other applicable data protection laws. The purpose of this policy is to inform individuals of the means by which their personal data is collected, the security measures applied to that data, how it is processed, how long it is retained, our legal obligations, and the rights of the Data Subject under the GDPR.
Within our organisation, Atomic Artisans acts as the Data Controller and, where applicable, the Data Processor. A Data Controller determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, whereas a Data Processor processes personal data on behalf of a controller under contractual obligation.
As of the effective date of this policy, the responsible party within our organisation is:
Data Controller: Atomic Artisans

To control and process personal data, we rely on one or more of the six recognised lawful bases under the GDPR.

1. Consent

   Consent is freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. Where we rely on consent, there will always be a clear affirmative action by the individual. Consent can be withdrawn at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
2. Contract

   Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with the individual or to take steps at the request of the individual prior to entering into a contract. This includes providing digital marketing, branding, design, and consulting services.
3. Legal Obligation

   Processing is necessary to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including tax, accounting, and reporting requirements.
4. Vital Interests

   Processing may be necessary to protect an individual’s life or in emergency circumstances where such processing is required.
5. Public Task

   Processing may be necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest where applicable under law.
6. Legitimate Interests

   Processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of Atomic Artisans or a third party, provided such interests are not overridden by the rights and freedoms of the individual. Where legitimate interest is relied upon, we ensure that a legitimate purpose has been identified, that processing is necessary to achieve that purpose, and that a balance has been made between business interests and the individual’s rights.

Under the GDPR, the Data Subject has seven rights regarding the collection and processing of personal data.

1. Right to be Informed

   Individuals have the right to be informed about the collection and use of their personal data in a transparent manner.
2. Right of Access

   Individuals have the right to request access to their personal data and supplementary information. Requests will be responded to within one month unless the request is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, in which case a reasonable administrative fee may apply or the request may be refused with proper explanation.
3. Right to Rectification

   Individuals have the right to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected.
4. Right to Erasure

   Individuals may request the deletion or removal of personal data where there is no lawful reason for its continued processing.
5. Right to Restrict Processing

   Individuals have the right to request the restriction or suppression of their personal data in certain circumstances.
6. Right to Data Portability

   Individuals have the right to obtain and reuse their personal data across different services in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
7. Right to Object

   Individuals have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests, direct marketing, or certain other lawful bases. Where an objection is made to direct marketing, processing will cease immediately.

Types of Data Collected and Processed
