Good to know
The questions people ask before they read a policy: how the hosting is put together, where data sits, who you are contracting with, and what happens when something breaks. Plain English, no clauses.
How our hosting works
We design, run and support the platform your site, email and applications sit on. We do not own or operate data centres. The underlying infrastructure, meaning the facilities, servers, networking, power and backup storage, is enterprise infrastructure in the United Kingdom, operated for us by specialist third-party companies under contract. Whatever sits underneath, Tidalux is the party responsible to you: your contract is with us, your support requests come to us, and we are accountable for the service.
Where your data lives
Sites, databases, email and backups are hosted in the United Kingdom. A small number of named third parties process data on our behalf, for payments, analytics with your consent, outbound email and the infrastructure above. Each one is covered by written data processing terms. Business customers can ask us in writing for the sub-processors used on their own service.
Who you are contracting with
Tidalux Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales, company number 17019367. Registered office: Studio 9, 50-54 St Paul's Square, Birmingham B3 1QS, United Kingdom. We are ICO registered as a data controller. We are not registered for VAT, so the price you see is the price you pay. Our work is delivered remotely from Malvern, Worcestershire, for clients across Worcestershire, Herefordshire and the West Midlands and the rest of the UK.
If something goes wrong
Message Connor or Chloe first: there is no ticket queue to get past. For a data protection request use the legal address below, and for anything abusive or unsafe on a site we host use the abuse address. If our answer does not satisfy you, the ICO route is set out below too.
