1. Who we are
Nichetel is published by ATLAS LEARNING HOLDINGS LIMITED, registered in United Kingdom. Company registration: 17274155. Registered address: 172 Stafford Street, Wolverhampton, England, WV1 1NA. Telephone: +44 7576 533990. We're the data controller for any personal data we process about you. Privacy questions: privacy@nichetel.com.
2. What data we collect
Account data: name, email, password (stored as a salted hash, never in plaintext), preferred currency, optional billing country.
Transactional data: orders you place, items in your library, invoice details (including company name and VAT number if you provide them).
Technical data: IP address (anonymised after 7 days), user-agent string, session cookie. We do not run third-party analytics, advertising pixels, or social-network embeds at launch.
Support correspondence: the contents of messages you send via the contact form or by email.
3. Why we collect it
- To deliver the reports you bought.
- To process payment and meet tax record-keeping obligations.
- To respond to your messages.
- To detect fraud and abuse.
- To improve the Service based on aggregate (non-identifying) patterns.
4. Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR)
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)): to deliver the reports you bought.
- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): to keep tax records.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): to prevent fraud and improve the Service. You may object; see §8.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): when you opt in to any future marketing emails (none at launch).
5. Where we store data and for how long
Your account and order data is stored on our hosting provider's servers in the Netherlands (EU). Retention:
- Account data: until you delete your account, or 24 months of inactivity.
- Invoice and transactional records: 6 years (tax law requirement).
- Support tickets and contact-form messages: 24 months.
- Technical logs: 12 months (IP anonymised after 7 days).
6. Who we share data with
We share the minimum necessary data with the following categories of processor, each under a data-processing agreement. We don't sell your data, and we don't share it for advertising.
- Payment processor: when you buy a report, a regulated payment provider processes the transaction. They see your name, email, and the amount charged. Your full card number never reaches our servers.
- Transactional email provider: sends account emails such as confirmation links, password resets, and invoices. Receives your email address and the contents of that message.
- Hosting provider: runs the servers behind nichetel.com. Your account record, order history, and library are stored on infrastructure we control, not in a third-party database service.
- Analytics: Google Analytics, for aggregate traffic measurement. See §7.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. We only share with law enforcement when legally compelled, and we'll tell you unless the order forbids it.
7. Cookies
We use only essential cookies at launch: a session cookie to keep you logged in, a CSRF token cookie for form security, and a currency-preference cookie. No analytics cookies. No tracking pixels. If we add analytics later, we'll ask for consent before setting any non-essential cookie.
8. Your rights
Under GDPR, UK GDPR, and similar laws (including the California Consumer Privacy Act for California residents), you can:
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you (right of access).
- Correct inaccurate data (rectification).
- Delete your account and associated data (erasure / "right to be forgotten").
- Receive your data in a portable format (portability).
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Restrict processing while a dispute is resolved.
- For California residents: opt-out of any sale of personal information (we don't sell), and we won't discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Email privacy@nichetel.com to exercise any of these. We respond within 30 days. You can also delete your account directly from workspace settings.
9. International transfers
If we transfer your data outside the European Economic Area (e.g. to a US-based sub-processor), we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent adequacy mechanism. The list of sub-processors in §6 reflects our current setup.
10. Children's data
We don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, email privacy@nichetel.com and we'll remove it.
11. Changes to this policy
We'll notify registered users by email at least 14 days before any material change takes effect, and post the new policy here with an updated "Last updated" date.
12. Supervisory authority
If you believe we've mishandled your data, you can complain to the supervisory authority in your country of residence. In the United Kingdom, that is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), ico.org.uk. If you're in the EU, you can also complain to your national data-protection authority.
13. Contact
For anything privacy-related: privacy@nichetel.com. We aim to reply within 5 business days, and always within 30 calendar days.
