Where Is The Data Stored?


All information you provide to us is stored to an accepted standard on our secured servers in our data centres within the EEA. We may share your personal data within ENIXLTD LIMITED, and on occasion with our associates/suppliers where required (listed below). This may involve transferring your data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We ensure your personal data is protected by requiring all 3rd parties to be compliant and by following the same rules when processing your personal data.

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the EEA, we ensure compliance by making sure at least one of the following safeguards is implemented:

- We will only transfer your personal data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission.
- Where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in Europe.
- Where we use providers based in the US, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection for personal data shared between the Europe and the US.

Data security

We follow generally accepted standards to store and protect the personal data we collect, both during transmission and once received and stored, including utilisation of encryption where appropriate. We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide the Services you have requested and thereafter for a variety of legitimate legal or business purposes. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who need to know for the purposes of day to day operations.

In the event of a data breach, we shall ensure that our obligations under applicable data protection laws are complied with where necessary.

As the transmission of information via the internet is never completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to us and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our website, you are responsible for keeping the password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone. Please be aware that out of date software (eg: scripts and plugins) uploaded or installed by you will need to be regularly updated and monitored by you to prevent intrusion. The use of nulled themes is forbidden as these are a considerable security risk to your website data.

Data Retention

Personal data will be retained for as long as is required to carry out the purpose(s) for which it was collected, including, but not limited to, legal or accounting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the following :

- the amount of data held:
- the nature and sensitivity of the personal data;
- any potential risk from unauthorised use or disclosure;
- the purposes for processing your personal data or whether we can achieve those same purposes by other means and any relevant legal requirements that apply.

Individuals have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’. The right is not absolute and only applies in certain circumstances. Accounting and Legal requirements mean that we'll need to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact, Identity, Financial and Transaction Data) for six years after after any contract ends or when the individual or party ceases to be a customer.

Lawful Basis


For the effective running of our business (Legitimate Interest) we use your data to give you the best service/product and the most secure experience we can. We make sure that we take your rights into consideration before we process your personal data for the performance of contract. Performance of contract means we'll process your data where necessary to perform a contract to which you are a party or where you are requesting such a contract to be created.
