GDPR - Our Compliance

Toolkit Office - CRM (TKO)

Access is only available to contracted Toolkit staff who follow strict company protocols based on data protection laws.

Email Hosting

Our Email Hosting Services are powered through Open X-Change and as such all compliance and data related queries can be found on their Privacy Policy .

Open X-Change are based in the US & Europe and have Privacy Shield validation . This adheres to EU regulations as personal data can be held and transferred outside of the EU when an adequate level of protection for that data is guaranteed.

We do not store or have access to any mailbox passwords. The resetting of passwords is handled completely via automated texts, so our team don't even see your password when you reset it. We will never ask for Mailbox Logins.

Domain Hosting

Domain management, renewals and hosting services are held in a central Toolkit Websites Enom account. Enom are a worldwide domain provider who have recently taken steps to ensure their privacy policy adheres to the recent GDPR legislative changes .

Only directors at Toolkit Websites have direct access to our Enom account. Any changes to a domains contact details, hosting or registration must come in to us in writing and by a registered Toolkit account holder.

As of May 25th Enom will be applying a new ' gated WHOIS ' service for anyone searching for domains they manage. Enom will hide the contact information of the domain holder to ensure personal data is hidden from the public.

Website Forms

All forms and their content used on our websites are the responsibility of the website owner. Based on our interpretation of the GDPR we are advising clients who collect client data through Toolkit forms, and subsequently use it for marketing purposes, to ensure consent is being given through the form.

Marketing 'Opt-in' tick boxes are a simple way to achieving consent. To add this field on to a Toolkit Form please contact our Support Team .

All form enquiries are emailed using SSL over to the designated 'Contact Form Recipient' listed in The Toolkit.  Enquiries are also stored in the 'Enquiries' tab within The Toolkit where they can be reviewed, deleted and downloaded by registered Toolkit users.

If a form recipients email server does not have SSL/TLS encryption on their POP/IMAP services then the notification email will be received over the Internet in plain text.

Please note, if your website is not SSL Encrypted then the data completed within the form may be susceptible to third party interception. We recommend SSL Services on all Websites prior to the GDPR legislation coming into UK law.
