Web Hosting Data Policy
This Privacy Policy sets out how we, PW New Media (a trading Name of Mr Paul Ian Woodland), collect, store and use information when you use our web hosting services (offered under the brand name "LiquidSix Hosting"). These web hosting services include Shared Hosting, Reseller Hosting, Low Density Hosting, VPS Hosting, Dedicated Servers, Domain Registrations, SSL Certificates and any other associated hosting services. You will be asked to agree to this policy before the purchase of any of these services.
This policy is effective from 1st January 2021.
As we are located in the United Kingdom, this document refers to the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and is covered by the Data Protection Act 2018.
Important Note
This policy is to be read in conjunction with our standard "Data and Privacy Policy" (referred to as the standard policy during this document), which covers our standard business practices and data use. The policy below covers only that data which is specific to our web hosting services, and does not cover again the data which has already been covered in the standard policy.
Contents
1. Our details
The data controller in respect of our hosting services is Paul Woodland of PW New Media. You can contact the data controller by writing to PO Box 5015, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 9DB or sending an email to services@pwnewmedia.co.uk.
If you have any questions about this policy, or our standard policy, please contact the data controller.
For residents of the EEA, the data controller's representative is Adam Brogden, Instant EU GDPR Representative Ltd. You can contact the data controller's representative by using the web based form available at https://mr-paul-ian-woodland-ta-pw-new-media.gdprlocal.com/eu, writing to "INSTANT EU GDPR REPRESENTATIVE LIMITED, Office 2, 12A Lower Main Street, Lucan Co. Dublin, K78 X5P8. Ireland", sending an email to contact@gdprlocal.com or calling on + 353 15 549 700. Whilst we are obliged to provide details of a represenative within the EEA, a quicker response to your query or data request will be received if you contact us directly using the details at the beginning of this section.
2. Our role as data processor
For almost all of the data covered by this web hosting data policy, we are not the data controller. We do however act as a data processor for this data on behalf of our customers. The majority of the data for which we are the controller is information on your account with us, and is covered in our standard "Data and Privacy Policy".
As such, the "Legal basis for processing" all the information in this document, unless otherwise specified, is "necessary to perform a contract and/or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(b) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation)". This is because the data is stored in order to provide the service to you that you have contracted us for. You can cancel this contract at any time, so that we stop storing and processing the data for you. See the sections entitled "14. Your rights in relation to your information" and "15. Making it easy to exercise your rights and update your information" later in this document for details.
This applies regardless of whether your account is for providing services directly to you (for example shared hosting), or providing services that you resell to your customers. We advise that resellers investigate their own obligations under the relevant data protection laws in order to put a suitable privacy policy of their own in place.
3. Account Data
Information held relating to your actual account with us (for example, billing information, contact details) is covered under our standard "Data and Privacy Policy" (click on the link to view) and not by this policy, as this policy relates only to the web hosting data stored with us.
However, if you are using our Helm control panel based hosting, there are some additions to the standard data policy:
Helm account data is by default stored for no more than 6 months after the service has been cancelled. This is to assist in answering any post-cancellation questions regarding billing etc. If you wish for the data to be destroyed early, please contact us to request this.
The location of your account data will depend on the location chosen during the service creation. If you choose our UK datacentre, all of your data will remain in the United Kingdom. If you choose our US datacentre, the data will reside in the United States of America, with backups located in the United Kingdom. See the section titled "13. Transfers of your information outside of the United Kingdom" if this is the case.
4. Websites and FTP Data
These data types have been grouped together as they both access the same "store" of information. FTP is the primary method via which the website data is uploaded and modified. The data can also be modified using the file manager in our control panel, or from actions undertaken on the website itself.
This data is stored in the United Kingdom for UK hosted customers, or in the United States for US hosted customers (with backups held in the UK in both instances).
The data is stored for as long as you choose to keep the data on our server, and can be removed at any time. You are responsible for choosing how long to retain it to meet your own policies and comply with applicable laws. Once removed from our server, it will be retained in backups for a short period - please see the "9. Backups" section for details.
4.1. Website Log Data
Whenever someone requests a file from the website, the request is logged. These logs are individual to each website and form part of the website data (in the "logs" directory at the root of the file manager or FTP). This data may be required by you, or you may wish to delete it. In order to provide the service to you, these logs must be created and kept for at least 2 days. We do not keep any personal information from them, we only keep totals generated from anonymous data. They can be deleted at any time after this. You can schedule automatic deletions after a set period by editing the "logs.ini" file in the logs directory. Instructions on the format of this file are included in the file itself.
4.2. FTP Log Data
Logs of all FTP activity are kept for the purposes of preventing illegal activity, as well as assisting customers with any issues. These include information on files being uploaded or downloaded from the server, and what IP the requests were made.
This data is stored in the United Kingdom for UK hosted customers, or in the United States for US hosted customers (with backups held in the UK in both instances).
This data is not accessible by customers, and can only be accessed by our staff. In the event that you need information from these logs, please contact us for assistance.
Logs are kept for up to 7 months from the end of the calendar month that they were recorded.
Legal basis for processing: our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation).
Legitimate interests: we have a legitimate interest in using your information for the purposes of ensuring network and information security, tracking illegal activity and ensuring that our systems are working correctly.
5. Statistics Data
This data can optionally be generated from the web log files. It is only generated if you have specifically enabled it on your website. Data is generated based on all information in the logs, including IP addresses, referrers, request URLs and results of the request. It is accessed via the SmarterStats interface, linked to from our control panel.
This data is stored in the United Kingdom for UK hosted customers, or in the United States for US hosted customers (with backups held in the UK in both instances).
Stats data is stored for as long as you keep it on the server. It can be deleted at any time by disabling statistics via the control panel. You are responsible for choosing how long to retain it to meet your own policies and comply with applicable laws. Once removed from our server, it will be retained in backups for a short period - please see the "9. Backups" section for details.
6. E-Mail Data
E-Mail data is defined as data stored in email accounts that are created through your control panel with us. This includes the emails that have been received or sent (if they have been stored), contacts, calendar entries and any other data saved through webmail, or using one of our supported email protocols (IMAP, POP3 or ActiveSync).
This data is stored in the United Kingdom for UK hosted customers, or in the United States for US hosted customers (with backups held in the UK in both instances).
E-Mail data is stored for as long as you keep the data on the server. You are responsible for choosing how long to retain it to meet your own policies and comply with applicable laws. Once removed from our server, it will be retained in backups for a short period - please see the "9. Backups" section for details.
6.1. E-Mail Log Data
Logs of all email activity are kept for the purposes of preventing fraud and other illegal activity, as well as assisting customers with any issues. These include information on emails coming into the server, and where they came from, as well as emails going out of the server and where they are going. The actual email content itself is not logged.
This data is stored in the United Kingdom for UK hosted customers, or in the United States for US hosted customers (with backups held in the UK in both instances).
This data is not accessible by customers, and can only be accessed by our staff. In the event that you need information from these logs, please contact us for assistance.
Logs are kept for up to 13 months from the end of the calendar month that they were recorded.
Legal basis for processing: our legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation).
Legitimate interests: we have a legitimate interest in using your information for the purposes of ensuring network and information security, tracking illegal activity and ensuring that our systems are working correctly.
7. Database Data
Database data is defined as data stored in MySQL or SQL Server databases that are created through your control panel with us (if you are using file based databases, these are included in "Websites and FTP" data above).
This data can be managed through our control panel and web based database management software (including phpMyAdmin, myLittleAdmin and myLittleBackup), as well as connecting directly to the server using management software on your computer or other device. All methods will require the correct database username and password in order to access the data. You are responsible for keeping the password secure, to ensure no one else can access the data.
This data is stored in the United Kingdom for UK hosted customers, or in the United States for US hosted customers (with backups held in the UK in both instances).
Database data has a different retention period to other data, due to the way that it is backed up - see the "9. Backups" section for more details.
8. Domain Registrations and SSL Certificates
Domain registrations and SSL certificates are services that we sell which are provided by a third party - either a domain registry or a certificate authority. In order to place an order for these services on your behalf, we are required to provide them with certain details.
The details that may be requested are:
- Owner's name
- Owner's company or organisation (where applicable)
- Owner's postal address
- Owner's telephone number
- Owner's fax number
- Owner's email address
- The same information as the items so far for additional contacts, including "Technical", "Billing" and "Admin"
The owner of the domain registration may not be the same as the person who is placing the order. The additional contacts may or may not be the same as the owner. Some domain registries may display some or all of the data above in a public database (known as a "whois" database). The owner and any additional contacts must have given their permission for the details to be used in this way before they are passed to us. The methods that we use to collect this data will warn you that the data may be displayed publicly.
As the majority of the third party domain registries and certificate authorities are located in other countries, we are required to transfer this data outside of the UK and outside of the EEA in many instances. See the section entitled "13. Transfers of your information outside of the United Kingdom" for details of this.
9. Backups
As responsible web hosts and data processors, we keep backups of all hosting data at an off-site location. However, we realise that backups can cause a problem with rights individual's have over their data (such as the right to erasure). As such, we state very specific backup policies so that you have all the information required to form your own data policies.
We take daily off-site backups of all hosting data, which are stored in our backup datacentre, located in the United Kingdom. To balance the ability to restore lost data with data protection laws, we keep backups for a maximum of 14 days.
These backups are designed for restoring our servers in an emergency, and we do not guarantee that we will be able to restore individual pieces of data for customers in the event that they accidentally delete them. However, we do endeavour to do so wherever possible. Please contact us as soon as possible if you wish to attempt a restore, as we can not recover any data once the backup retention period is over. Frequent or overly-large restore requests may attract a fee, which will be discussed before the restore is completed.
9.1. Database Backups
All databases are backed up twice a day to our on-site servers. These backups are kept here for a maximum of 14 days, in order to allow for the quick restore of a database in the event it is needed. However, they also form part of the data that is backed up off-site (see above), which means the maximum time between a database being deleted in the control panel and a database being fully deleted from all of our servers is 28 days.
10. Suspensions and Cancellations
Due to data protection laws requiring that we do not keep data for longer than needed, we have to follow a strict policy on suspensions and cancellations of hosting accounts, and the removal of the data within them. At our discretion, and with the written permission of the account owner, we may extend these timeframes to allow more time for the payment to be completed. However this will not occur unless it is specifically requested, and approved by us based on our past relationship.
10.1. Suspension
If an account is overdue for a hosting plan payment by at least 4 days (and no more than 60 days), a final warning email message will be sent to the account owner with a date that the account will be suspended. Once an account is suspended, it is no longer possible to access and use the services or data. At any time during a suspension, the account owner can choose to complete the payment that is overdue in order to reactivate the account, or they can choose to cancel the account using our normal cancellation procedure.
10.2. Cancellation
An account will be deemed cancelled in the following cases:
- The account owner has submitted a cancellation request and passed the security checks to allow for the data to be deleted.
- The account has been suspended for non-payment for at least 2 calendar months (and no more than 3 calendar months).
At the time of cancellation, all hosting data within the account will be deleted from our main servers. Due to backups, it will take up to 28 days before all the data has completely been removed from our systems.
10.3. Post-Cancellation
Whilst the hosting data has been destroyed, information regarding the account itself will be kept for no more than 6 months after the cancellation has occurred. This is so that we can assist customers with any post-cancellation enquiries related to the account or billing. It can be deleted earlier upon request. As per our standard policy, we are required to keep copies of invoices for tax purposes for 6 years after the end of the tax year that the last purchase was made in.
11. Disclosure and additional uses of your information
This section sets out the circumstances in which will disclose the web hosting data described in this policy to third parties and any additional purposes for which we use the information. The corresponding section of our standard policy also applies.

We cannot be responsible for any costs, expenses, loss of profits, harm to reputation, damages, liabilities or any other form of loss or damage suffered by you as a result of your decision to transmit information to us by such means.
13. Transfers of your information outside of the United Kingdom
13.1. For customers who have selected UK hosting at the time of registration
For UK hosted customers, all of your hosting data will remain stored in the United Kingdom. The only data which will be transferred out of the UK will be if you specifically request the registration of a domain name or SSL certificate, in which case we are required to pass the details to our suppliers (see the section "8. Domain Registrations and SSL Certificates" above).
Except for as a result of a specific request from you to register a domain name or SSL certificate (see the section on Domain Registrations and SSL certificates above, and the transfer of their data below), other than to comply with any legal obligations to which we are subject (compliance with a court order, for example), we do not intend to transfer your information outside the UK or to an international organisation. In the unlikely event that we are required to transfer your information outside the UK or to an international organisation for such a purpose, we will ensure appropriate safeguards and protections are in place.
13.2. For customers who have selected US hosting at the time of registration
For US hosted customers, your main data will be stored in Dallas, Texas, United States of America. By selecting this option at registration, you specifically consent to your data being stored at this location. If you do not wish to consent, please select the UK hosting option instead, and none of your hosting data will be transmitted to the United States of America.
Some of your data (especially backups) will also be stored in the United Kingdom, along with the rest of our customer data.
We will also transfer your information outside of the UK and the EEA, or to an international organisation, in order to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject (compliance with a court order, for example). Where we are required to do so, we will ensure appropriate safeguards and protections are in place.
13.3. Domain Registrations and SSL Certificates
As part of the order process for these services, we are required to send data specifically requested from you for this purpose (please see the main section on these services above). The location to which this data is sent will depend on the service being ordered as there are registries and certificate authorities all over the world (not all within the UK or the EEA), but we can advise you on this at the time of ordering (or before), if you contact us.
No other data will be sent, other than the data which you have provided for this purpose.
We will also transfer your information outside the UK and the EEA, or to an international organisation, in order to comply with legal obligations to which we are subject (compliance with a court order, for example). Where we are required to do so, we will ensure appropriate safeguards and protections are in place.
14. Your rights in relation to your information
Subject to certain limitations on certain rights, you have the following rights in relation to your information, which you can exercise by writing to "PO Box 5015, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 9DB" or contacting us via our contact page:
to request access to your information and information related to our use and processing of your information;
to request the correction or deletion of your information;
to request that we restrict our use of your information;
to receive information which you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format (e.g. a CSV file) and the right to have that information transferred to another data controller (including a third party data controller);
to object to the processing of your information for certain purposes (for further information, see the section below entitled Your right to object to the processing of your information for certain purposes); and
to withdraw your consent to our use of your information at any time where we rely on your consent to use or process that information. Please note that if you withdraw your consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of our use and processing of your information on the basis of your consent before the point in time when you withdraw your consent.
In accordance with Article 77 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or of an alleged infringement of the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
For the purposes of the UK, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the contact details of which are available here: https://ico.org.uk/global/contact-us/
14.1. Further information on your rights in relation to your personal data as an individual
The above rights are provided in summary form only and certain limitations apply to many of these rights. For further information about your rights in relation to your information, including any limitations which apply, please visit the following pages on the ICO's website:
You can also find out further information about your rights, as well as information on any limitations which apply to those rights, by reading the underlying legislation contained in Articles 12 to 22 and 34 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
14.2. Verifying your identity where you request access to your information
Where you request access to your information, we are required by law to use all reasonable measures to verify your identity before doing so.
These measures are designed to protect your information and to reduce the risk of identity fraud, identity theft or general unauthorised access to your information.
How we verify your identity
Where we possess appropriate information about you on file, we will attempt to verify your identity using that information.
If it is not possible to identity you from such information, or if we have insufficient information about you, we may require original or certified copies of certain documentation in order to be able to verify your identity before we are able to provide you with access to your information.
We will be able to confirm the precise information we require to verify your identity in your specific circumstances if and when you make such a request.
15. Making it easy to exercise your rights and update your information
The rights described in the previous section can be exercised in the manner described, however we also offer easy and automated methods of exercising some of these rights, for your convenience. These include:
15.1. "Right to Erasure" for your data
You can access and delete any of your hosting data at any time, by using the tools that we make available. Please see the specific section on the type of data in question earlier in this document to see how. If you need assistance erasing data, please contact us.
To erase all data, you can close your account with us. To do this, please contact us and we can process your closure request.
15.2. Withdraw your consent for processing your data
If you no longer wish for your data to be processed, you can delete any parts of it (see "Right to Erasure" directly above), or you can close your account with us. To do this, please contact us and we can process your closure request.
15.3. Viewing the data we hold, or updating it
You can access and change any of your hosting data at any time, by using the tools that we make available. Please see the specific section on the type of data in question earlier in this document to see how.
16. Sensitive Personal Information
"Sensitive personal information" is information about an individual that reveals their racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic information, biometric information for the purpose of uniquely identifying an individual, information concerning health or information concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation.
We do not knowingly or intentionally collect sensitive personal information from individuals, and you must not submit sensitive personal information to us.
If, however, you inadvertently or intentionally transmit sensitive personal information to us, you will be considered to have explicitly consented to us processing that sensitive personal information under Article 9(2)(a) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation. We will use and process your sensitive personal information for the purposes of deleting it.
17. Changes to our Web Hosting Data Policy
We update and amend our data policy from time to time.
17.1. Minor changes to our Web Hosting Data Policy
Where we make minor changes to our Web Hosting Data Policy, we will update our Web Hosting Data Policy with a new effective date stated at the beginning of it. Our processing of your information will be governed by the practices set out in that new version of the Web Hosting Data Policy from its effective date onwards.
17.2. Major changes to our Web Hosting Data Policy or the purposes for which we process your information
Where we make major changes to our Web Hosting Data Policy or intend to use your information for a new purpose or a different purpose than the purposes for which we originally collected it, we will notify you by email (where possible) or by posting a notice on our website.
We will provide you with the information about the change in question and the purpose and any other relevant information before we use your information for that new purpose.
Wherever required, we will obtain your prior consent before using your information for a purpose that is different from the purposes for which we originally collected it.
18. Children's Privacy
Because we care about the safety and privacy of children online, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). COPPA and its accompanying regulations protect the privacy of children using the internet. We do not knowingly contact or collect information from persons under the age of 16. The website is not intended to solicit information of any kind from persons under the age of 16.
It is possible that we could receive information pertaining to persons under the age of 16 by the fraud or deception of a third party. If we are notified of this, as soon as we verify the information, we will, where required by law to do so, delete the information from our servers. If you would like to notify us of our receipt of information about persons under the age of 16, please do so by contacting us via our contact page.
