Privacy Policy

APM Internet Ltd, and its trading styles including The Very Good Email Company, SakerWeb, Edwin Chat, Open Golf Events and faxtastic!, are committed to protecting your privacy and operate lawfully under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our services are hosted in the United Kingdom and we primarily use AI running on our own servers, but do also use third party AI systems for some of the more complex work.

GDPR

Who we are

APM Internet Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales (No. 04601087) whose registered office is at 32 High Street, Wendover, Bucks, HP22 6EA, England. This is the overall privacy policy for APM Internet Ltd and its trading styles.

What information we collect

We collect information for two purposes: to provide and administer your account, and to give you the best possible service. Depending on how you use our services, this may include:

  • Account details - your name, company, email address and, where relevant, the details of team members or clients you invite.
  • Billing details - your plan and subscription status. Card payments are handled by our payment processor, Stripe; we do not store your full card number on our systems.
  • Website content - the website pages that we host on your behalf.
  • Conversation data - the messages exchanged between you and our chatbots during website design work, AI search tools and Website chatbots.
  • Technical data - limited log and usage information, such as IP address, used for security, rate-limiting and diagnosing problems.

We will never collect sensitive personal information about you without your explicit consent.

How we use your information

We use your information to set up and run your account, deliver our services, process payments, provide support, keep the service secure, and, where you have configured it, email you the transcripts and leads captured by your chatbot. We do not sell, rent or exchange your personal information with any third party for marketing purposes.

Data controller and data processor

When we handle your account and billing information we act as a data controller. When your chatbot processes conversations with your website’s visitors, we act as a data processor on your behalf - you are the controller for that content, and you are responsible for telling your own visitors how their data is used.

Where your data is held, and our AI

All personal data is stored and processed within the United Kingdom, in a UK data centre. We primarily use AI running on our own servers, but do also use third party AI systems for some of the more complex work.

Security of your personal information

We protect personal data on password-controlled servers with limited access, held securely in accordance with our information security practices and the law, and protected from loss or misuse and from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Access to the underlying systems is restricted to authorised personnel.

Data retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the service and to meet our legal and accounting obligations. You can delete individual conversations, leads and knowledge base sources from the console, and you can ask us to close your account and remove your data.

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you logged in during a session - the services would not work without it. We do not use cookies for advertising or to track individuals across other websites.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, to have data erased in certain circumstances, to restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us and we will respond within 30 days. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or the law.
