3. Analytics, Cookies and Other Web Site Technologies
Atom is continuously improving our websites and products by using various third-party web analytics tools, which help us understand how visitors use our websites, desktop tools, and mobile applications, what they like and dislike, and where they may have problems. We maintain ownership of this data and do not share this type of data about individual users with third parties.

Geolocation and Other Data:

We use information such as IP addresses to determine the general geographic locations areas of our visitors.

Google Analytics:

We use Google Analytics as described in “How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.” You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics on websites by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on here. We also employ IP address masking, a technique used to truncate IP addresses collected by Google Analytics and store them in an abbreviated form to prevent them from being traced back to individual users. Portions of our website may also use Google Analytics for Display Advertisers including DoubleClick or Dynamic Remarketing which provide interest-based ads based on your visit to this or other websites. You can use Ads Settings to manage the Google ads you see and opt-out of interest-based ads. You can opt-out of use of this information as described below.

Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing them.

6. Accessing Your Data

Where Atom is acting as a data controller, Atom will also, when you request, provide you with information about whether we hold, or process on behalf of a third party, any of your personal information. If Atom is not a data controller for your personal data, you should request this information from the relevant data controller.

We may transfer personal information to companies that help us provide our Service, and when we do, these transfers to subsequent third parties are, wherever possible, covered by appropriate transfer agreements. We will retain personal data we process on behalf of our customers as needed to provide Services to our customer and to the extent required for our internal general administration. Also, we will retain this personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Atom maintains a global infrastructure for support and development. Information that we collect and maintain may be transferred to and/or processed in the UK, the United States and/or India. When you provide us with information, or use our website(s) and services, you consent to this transfer. We will protect the privacy and security of personal information we collect in accordance with this privacy policy, regardless of where it is processed or stored. Any personal data that is transferred within the Atom Group is transferred under the terms of an intra-group data transfer agreement which applies the standard of the EU Model Contractual Clauses to these transfers.

7. Transfers of your information out of the EEA

We will not transfer your personal information outside of the EEA at any time.

8. Security

Atom follows generally accepted standards to protect the personal information, if any, submitted to us, both during transmission and once it is received, however, no security measure is perfect.
