Data Compliance

Last updated: 22 May 2018.

On May 25, 2018, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect. GDPR regulates the governance of personal data for EU citizens with an emphasis on data security and privacy. The GDPR does not only apply to companies that operate in the EU. This regulation will also impact companies operating outside of the EU if they have any EU customers or personal data of anyone in the EU. The GDPR imposes additional requirements upon companies to strengthen the security around, and enhance the protection of, personal data of EU residents. Wibble Web Design LTD. identifies itself as a data processor and therefore we process data on behalf of a controller – our clients. As a client of Wibble, you operate as the controller when using our products and services. You have the responsibility for ensuring that the personal data you are collecting is being processed in a lawful manner and that you are using processors, such as below, that are committed to handling the data in a compliant manner. In order to supply the services that we do, we engage with other processors and we adhere to article 28 when dealing with acting as a processor and interacting with other processors. They are detailed below.

Our Commitment

Security of information and privacy are Wibble Web Design LTD.’s most important assets. It is in our greatest interest that you have confidence in how we handle your personal data. We place a high importance on information security and we already comply with a number of standards that focus on it. We will always comply with the GDPR as a processor and controller of data. In our role as a data controller we are responsible for implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure and demonstrate that any data processing is performed in compliance with GDPR. In our role as a data processor, we are responsible for implementing appropriate technical and organisational measures to meet the requirements of GDPR, ensuring a level of information security appropriate to the risk, and acting in accordance with the relevant data controller’s instructions. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy online. We will not knowingly support any use of your information which is illegal or which contravenes the laws or common practice in the country of your origin. Wibble Web Design LTD is committed to ensuring that your privacy is protected and that there is transparency with regard to the processing of your information. Should we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified, then you can be assured that it will only be used in accordance with this statement.

Our Privacy Policy

Our public Privacy Policy sets out how we handle data including how we collect, store and use personal data and sensitive personal data, our lawful bases for processing personal data, information on transfers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), as well as the rights of data subjects, including the right to withdraw consent. We also use fair collection/ processing notice at key data capture points. This notice includes information, and consents where applicable, at the relevant data capture point.

How We Are Preparing For GDPR

We’ve revised data protection policies and procedures to meet the requirements and standards of the GDPR and any relevant data protection laws, including but not only: We have revised our Privacy Policy to comply with the GDPR, ensuring that all individuals whose personal information we process have been informed of why we need it, how it is used, what their rights are, who the information is disclosed to and what safeguarding measures are in place to protect their information. We have also revised our Terms and Conditions to comply with the GDPR Legal Basis for Processing – We have revised all processing activities to identify the legal basis for processing and ensuring that each basis is appropriate for the activity it relates to. Where applicable, we also maintain records of our processing activities, ensuring that our GDPR obligations are met Obtaining Consent – We have revised our consent mechanisms for obtaining personal data, ensuring that individuals understand what they are providing, why and how we use it and giving clear, defined ways to consent to us processing their information. We have developed stringent processes for recording consent, making sure that we can evidence an affirmative opt-in, along with time and date records; and an easy to see and access way to withdraw consent at any time. Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) – Where we process personal information that is considered high risk, we have developed stringent procedures for carrying out impact assessments that comply fully with the GDPR. We have implemented processes that record each assessment, allow us to rate the risk posed by the processing activity and implement mitigating measures to reduce the risk posed to the data subject(s).

What We Do With Information We Collect

Wibble Web Design LTD., as a web design and development company, is committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have already put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. We will collect and look after your data for the purpose of delivering services and information to you that you have requested and to correspond with you about our Services. We will never pass your information to any external party outside of Wibble Web Design LTD. unless required by law to do so. We will never, ever, give, sell or lease your personal information to anyone outside of our organisation. If you have subscribed to our services, signed up for the newsletter, survey or similar, we will include you on our mailing list for our regular newsletter and occasional news of our services. You can opt out of this communication permanently at any time.

Data Subject Rights

Wibble Web Design LTD. will always respect your rights that concern the protection of your personal data.

A) Right to be informed

You have the right to be informed about the collection and use of your personal data. We are obligated to provide you with the following information:

  • the purposes for processing your personal data
  • our retention periods for that personal data

We do not need to provide you with privacy information if you already have them or if it would involve a disproportionate effort to provide it to you. The information we provide to you will be always concise, transparent, intelligible, easily accessible, clear and easy to understand. We will, of course, be open to feedback on our documents if you feel there is scope for clarification. We provide individuals with privacy information at the time we collect their personal data from them.

B) Right of Access

You have the right to access your personal data and supplementary information. This right allows you to be aware of and verify the lawfulness of the processing. You have the right to obtain:

  • confirmation that your data is being processed
  • access to your personal data; and
  • other supplementary information – this largely corresponds to the information that is provided in our Privacy Policy

We are obligated to provide a copy of the information requested. We will verify the identity of the individual making the request, using “reasonable means”. If the request is made electronically, we will provide the information in a commonly used electronic format.

C) Right to Rectification

Personal data is inaccurate if it is incorrect or misleading as to any matter of fact. You have the right to have inaccurate personal data rectified, or completed if it is incomplete. When a request is made, we will verify the identity of the individual making the request, using ‘reasonable means’. If the request is made electronically, we will provide the information in a commonly used electronic format. If we receive a request for rectification, we will take reasonable steps to confirm that the data is accurate and to rectify the data if necessary. We will also take into account the arguments and evidence provided by the data subject.

D) Right to Erasure

You 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. We already have processes in place to ensure that we respond to a request for erasure. If you no longer want to use our services and you want your personal information to be erased, you may request it by contacting us at any time. Please note, we may not be able to honour these requests when they conflict with legal circumstances and requirements that we are obligated to fulfill. We will explain this to you if and when such a conflict arises.

E) Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means that you can limit the way that we use your data. This is an alternative to requesting the erasure of your data (see above). We have processes in place to ensure that we respond to a request for restriction without undue delay and within one month of receipt.

F) Right to data portability

The right to data portability allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. It allows you to move, copy or transfer personal data easily from one IT environment to another in a safe and secure way, without hindrance to usability. The right to data portability only applies:

  • to personal data you have provided to a controller
  • where the processing is based on your consent or for the performance of a contract
  • when processing is carried out by automated means.

We are obligated to provide the personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine readable form. Open formats include CSV files. Machine readable means that the information is structured so that software can extract specific elements of the data. This enables other organisations to use the data. The information provided is free of charge. If you request it, we may be required to transmit the data directly to another organisation if this is technically feasible. However, we are not required to adopt or maintain processing systems that are technically compatible with other organisations. Clarification: This pertains only to your personally identifiable data.

G) Right to Object

You have the right to object to:

  • processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling)
  • direct marketing (including profiling)
  • processing for purposes of scientific/historical research and statistics

You must have “grounds relating to your particular situation” in order to exercise your right to object to processing for research purposes. We are obligated to halt processing personal data for direct marketing purposes as soon as we receive an objection.

H) Rights related to automated decision making including profiling

Automated individual decision-making is a decision made by automated means without any human involvement. It does not have to involve profiling, although it often will do. We do not currently use your personal data to make automatic decisions about you. If this changes in the future you will be notified.

How You Can Exercise Your Rights

You are always welcome to communicate with us about the exercise of your rights concerning the protection of your personal data. We only accept written requests since we cannot deal with verbal requests immediately without first:

  • analysing the content of the request; and
  • Adequately verifying your identity.

Your request should contain a detailed, accurate description of which right you want to exercise. We will respond to your request without delay and at the latest within one month of receipt. We will extend the period of compliance by a further two months where requests are complex or numerous. If this is the case, we will inform you within one month of the receipt of the request and explain why the extension is necessary. We do not charge a fee to comply with your request.

If you have any questions about our stance on data protection matters generally or how we process personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

Service Terms

Last updated: 04 Jul 2022.

Payment Terms

An update to our terms due to the Coronavirus: Wibble are not in a position to offer overdue credit for any clients during this turbulent time and have had to bring in a policy that we cannot renew your monthly services if an invoice is overdue. We will not pay for further monthly services if an invoice is overdue. As a business, we have to protect ourselves from overdue invoices accruing to unmanageable amounts. To help remote working in this current climate, we have brought in the ability to pay invoices with credit card: https://www.wearewibble.com/invoice-payment/

We are sure you understand how important it is as a small business that you pay the invoices that we send you promptly. You agree to stick tight to the following payment schedule:

  • For clients on the Wibble Support Package, this will be paid monthly via a Direct Debit using GoCardless (where applicable)
  • For annual support packages, this will be invoiced automatically

Our payment terms are 30 days net for invoices and 15 days net for Direct Debits. We accept payment by cheque, bank transfer or in cash in GBP. We only accept payment by Bank Transfer / PayPal / Stripe for other currencies. Because of the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 we do not accept payments in cash exceeding £500. If payment is not made within the agreed payment terms, Wibble Web Design LTD. reserve the right to suspend all your services without notice. This can include email hosting, web hosting and DNS management plus any others. We also reserve the right to redirect your domain to wearewibble.com, put an account suspended message on your site or sell your domain to re-coup any loses incurred through the outstanding balance. If there is an outstanding balance and requests for work are submitted, these will not be carried out until payment has been made. If there is an outstanding balance at the end of a project, we reserve the right to not transfer content, database, code, domains or any other files pertaining to the project until full payment has been made; we also reserve the right to not transfer domains, DNS management or provide access to your site to facilitate transfer until full payment is made. We are a small business and rely upon prompt payments of invoices. We have a policy to give prioritised support to clients who pay us on time. Past failures to pay on time may see your requests for support lose priority.

We aim to not call any non-support based invoices via Direct Debit, if in place. However, if non-Direct Debit invoices are not paid within the allocated time, they will be updated to be pulled via Direct Debit.

Interest on late commercial payments / debt recovery
We reserve the right to charge ‘statutory interest’ for late payments of invoices. This is set at 8% plus the Bank of England base rate. We will also charge a fixed sum for the cost of recovering a late commercial payment on top of claiming interest from it. We will also claim for reasonable costs each time we try to recover the debt.

Server Security & access We do not provide FTP access / SFTP access / SSH access to the server to any third parties due to security and IP restrictions. We strive for 99.9% uptime, sometimes things outside our control happen and your site may be unavailable for a short period of time but we will do everything in our power to get your site back up and running ASAP. We do not allow third party developers access to our server or to the databases in any way. We do not identify as a standard web host, we are a managed hosting service so only offer restricted access to the server for security and IP reasons.

Purchased domains Any domains purchased by Wibble for a client will be registered by Wibble, however, the domain ownership can be transferred to you without a fee as long as there are no outstanding payments due to Wibble. We reserve the right to hold a domain in our name if an outstanding balance is present, once payment has been made, the domain will be transferred – without a fee. If domains are not confirmed to be renewed by the client before the expiry date there will be a recovery cost of £75+VAT to renew the domain after the expiry date, if possible.

Email hosting We provide email hosting as a service to clients. We strive for 99.9% uptime, sometimes things outside our control happen and your email may be unavailable for a short period of time but we will do everything in our power to get your email back up and running ASAP. We do not provide personalised support for every mail client but have a support portal to guide you through set up etc. As above, we reserve the right to suspend all email services if payment is overdue on your account.

Support We have a team of highly qualified support developers who can support your project if changes and developments are needed. The best way to avail of the Wibble support is through our support helpdesk – this will then create a support ticket that any of our staff can pick up. This is our recommended means of contact as your project manager may not be able to respond quickly if they are out of the office etc.

Support Service Level Agreement We operate Monday – Friday 9am-5pm GMT excluding bank holidays, public holidays and office closures. We aim to respond to all tickets within 1 working day and resolve within 5. If contact is made directly to a staff member of Wibble and not through our support channel, there will be no guarantee of when the response will be. We recommend using the support helpdesk for any issues with your services.


Wibble Support Package

WordPress core updates We take care of all core updates – if they are not critical, security updates we may not update for a little while to ensure bugs and issues have been patched. If a core update causes an issue with your site, we will spend one hour trying to fix this issue as part of the Wibble Support Package, if further fixes are required this will be billed at our hourly rate.

Plugin updates We will update all plugins as part of the Wibble Support Package, this generally takes place at the same time as the core updates. If a plugin update causes an issue with your site, we will spend one hour trying to fix this issue as part of the Wibble Support Package, if further fixes are required this will be billed at our hourly rate.

DNS Hosting We move your DNS to a remote DNS host. This is a requirement of the Wibble Support Package so we can manage all elements of your website management and security. We do not provide access to the DNS set up by default – a review can be carried out on a case by case basis if the client requires access to the DNS host.

Web Hosting Your site will be hosted on an optimised, secure and fast Wibble server. We do not allow third party developers access to our server or to the databases, in any way. We do not identify as a standard web host, we are a managed hosting service so only offer restricted access to the server for security and IP reasons.

Uptime monitoring We monitor your site using an automated service. This comes as default and we have a number of avenues of contact to our support team to sort any problems, as soon as possible.

SSL certificate We will install and configure a SSL cert on your site during the transfer process. This will be renewed every 90 days automatically and is a shared cert. If a custom cert is required, this is possible however, this is outside the normal requirements and will be charged for.

Daily scans Your site is scanned every 24 hours to check for core, theme or plugin vulnerabilities against a vulnerability database. This is an automatic scan and once admins are notified a bug will be fixed asap.

Backups Our system provides daily backups, all stored remotely so if critical server failure occurs, the backups are accessible.

Other security features We bundle your site with hundreds of security features including: IP blacklisting of users, login protection, two factor authentication, a web firewall, advanced user management, spam protection, hack protection, security headers, full lockdown features, IP management and full logging of site changes. These features are constantly added to and reviewed to help keep your site as secure as possible.

Adhoc hours We are available for custom design and development to your site for any work outside of the above services. We offer a retainer package for support if constant changes and development is needed for your site. Please contact your PM for details on the retainer package and how we can help. Please note any work requested outside of our normal support hours will be charged at double the hourly rate.

Administrators We do not permit access as WordPress administrators, outside of Wibble staff, to the control panel. We will not install plugins at the request of the client that may clash with Wibble core actions or may alter databases, trigger backups, add functionality or compromise the site in any way. This is for security and IP reasons.

Licences  Additional licences required to carry out any updates or changes will be an additional cost. Renewals of any licences will also incur additional costs.

Our general rule of thumb is our support will cover help, guidance and advice on using your site and checking that things are working as they should be. If we are to make any code, content or infrastructure changes to your site, this is outside the Wibble Support Package and will be billable.


Wibble Rescue Package

Transfer We pick up your site, as it is, and move it to a secure Wibble server that is optimised for WordPress hosting. We require access to your current WordPress site as an admin in order to facilitate this.

Review Once moved, we manually review your existing setup, plugins, users, code, themes and remove any plugins or features that we deem non-secure or not required. No loss of functionality will take place. we may ask you to review our changes to ensure every feature you require is available.

DNS Hosting We move your DNS to a remote DNS host. This is a requirement of the Wibble Rescue Package so we can manage all elements of your website management and security. We do not provide access to the DNS set up by default – a review can be carried out on a case by case basis if the client requires access to the DNS host.

Web Hosting Your site will be hosted on an optimised, secure and fast Wibble server. We require access to your current WordPress server to facilitate this – control panel access etc. We will also require SFTP access to help with a seamless transfer. We do not allow third party developers access to our server or to the databases, in any way. We do not identify as a standard web host, we are a managed hosting service so only offer restricted access to the server for security and IP reasons.

Uptime monitoring We monitor your site using an automated service. This comes as default and we have a number of avenues of contact to our support team to sort any problems, as soon as possible.

WordPress core updates We take care of all core updates – if they are not critical, security updates we may not update for a little while to ensure bugs and issues have been patched. If a core update causes an issue with your site, we will spend one hour trying to fix this issue as part of the Wibble Rescue Package, if further fixes are required this will be billed at our hourly rate.

Plugin updates We will update all plugins as part of the Wibble Rescue Package, this generally takes place at the same time as the core updates. If a plugin update causes an issue with your site, we will spend one hour trying to fix this issue as part of the Wibble Rescue Package, if further fixes are required this will be billed at our hourly rate.

SSL certificate We will install and configure a SSL cert on your site during the transfer process. This will be renewed every 90 days automatically and is a shared cert. If a custom cert is required, this is possible however, this is outside the normal requirements and will be charged for.

Daily scans Your site is scanned every 24 hours to check for core, theme or plugin vulnerabilities against a vulnerability database. This is an automatic scan and once admins are notified a bug will be fixed asap.

Backups Our system provides daily backups, all stored remotely so if critical server failure occurs, the backups are accessible.

Other security features We bundle your site with hundreds of security features including: IP blacklisting of users, login protection, two factor authentication, a web firewall, advanced user management, spam protection, hack protection, security headers, full lockdown features, IP management and full logging of site changes. These features are constantly added to and reviewed to help keep your site as secure as possible.

Adhoc hours We are available for custom design and development to your site for any work outside of the above services. We offer a retainer package for support if constant changes and development is needed for your site. Please contact your PM for details on the retainer package and how we can help. Please note any work requested outside of our normal support hours will be charged at double the hourly rate.

Administrators We do not permit access as WordPress administrators, outside of Wibble staff, to the control panel. We do not allow the installation of any plugins by anyone outside of Wibble. We will not install plugins at the request of the client that may clash with Wibble core actions or may alter databases, trigger backups, add functionality or compromise the site in any way. This is for security and IP reasons.

Licences  Additional licences required to carry out any updates or changes will be an additional cost. Renewals of any licences will also incur additional costs.

Our general rule of thumb is our support will cover help, guidance and advice on using your site and checking that things are working as they should be. If we are to make any code, content or infrastructure changes to your site, this is outside the Wibble Rescue Package and will be billable.


Project work The client will have 7 days to report any faults/bugs/snags with the system after launch of any new design/dev work.

Refunds We do not offer refunds on any services that are provided by Wibble Web Design LTD.

Cancellation We require 30 days notice of all cancellations of services. It must be supplied via email to your project manager.

If any aggression is reported be it verbal, written or implied, we will cease all services, including suspension of hosting, domains, email and any other services that we provide, irrespective of the impact that this may have. We cannot stress enough that any level of aggression aimed at our staff will be dealt with swiftly and will result with all services being suspended.
