Privacy notice

How Reliability Works Ltd handles personal data when you use Blob Yard, contact us, or ask us to store content.

Who is responsible for your data

Reliability Works Ltd is an active company incorporated in England and Wales under company number 16206723.

We are the controller for account, identity, billing, support, security, service operations, and service usage and plan enforcement data. For files and other content a customer places in Blob Yard, we generally act as that customer's processor or service provider. The customer decides why the content is stored and who may access it. We may act as controller for limited processing needed to secure the service, investigate abuse, or comply with law.

Data we process

Where data comes from

We receive data from you, your account or workspace administrators, other people who use upload inboxes or shares, the clients and agents you connect, the service as you use it, and providers such as Stripe, Resend, GitHub, or Google. Identity and payment details needed to create or pay for an account are contractual requirements. Choosing OAuth and providing optional profile or support information is voluntary.

Why we process it

We process data to provide accounts and storage, authorize uploads and downloads, operate shares and inboxes, enforce plans and retention rules, take payment, deliver messages, provide support, secure the service, investigate misuse, recover from incidents, and meet legal obligations.

Our lawful bases are performance of our contract, our legitimate interests in operating and improving a secure developer service, compliance with legal obligations, and consent where the law requires it. We balance legitimate interests against the rights and expectations of the people affected. Blob Yard does not use customer content for advertising.

Providers and other recipients

We disclose data only as needed to operate Blob Yard or meet a legal duty:

We may also disclose data to professional advisers, insurers, authorities, courts, or a buyer or reorganised business where lawfully necessary. We do not sell personal data.

International transfers

Some providers or their support teams may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where a transfer is not covered by UK adequacy regulations, we use an appropriate lawful safeguard, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or the UK addendum to approved standard contractual clauses, and carry out any assessment the law requires. Contact us for more information about the safeguard relevant to your data.

How long we keep data

Access, export, and deletion

Account Settings provides controls to prepare an account export and request account deletion. These processes may complete asynchronously, so deletion is not necessarily immediate. Export your data before requesting deletion if you need to keep a copy.

Account deletion does not permit one member to erase content controlled by another owner. Before deletion can start, remove other members and cancel pending invitations from every workspace you own. We may keep limited billing, tax, fraud-prevention, security, and legal records after deletion where required or justified.

Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances, you may ask for access, a portable copy, correction, deletion, restriction, or an objection to processing. You may withdraw consent where processing depends on consent. These rights can have legal limits, and we may need to verify your identity and authority over a workspace before acting.

Send a request to contact@reliabilityworks.co.uk. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office. Please contact us first if you would like us to try to resolve the issue.

Automated processing

Blob Yard does not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects for individuals. Automated security and abuse controls may block or flag activity, but a person can contact us to ask for review.

Children

Blob Yard is a developer service for adults and organisations. It is not directed to anyone under 18, and a person must be at least 18 to create or control an account.

Security and changes

We use access controls, scoped and expiring capabilities, encryption in transit, private object storage, redacted logs, audit records, and recovery procedures. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Report a suspected vulnerability privately to contact@reliabilityworks.co.uk.

We may update this notice when the service, providers, or law changes. We will post the revised notice here, change its effective date, and give additional notice where a change materially affects your rights.
