Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
We process personal data only when we have a valid legal basis under GDPR. Our processing activities rely on the following legal bases:
Consent
When you submit forms on our website or accept cookies, you provide explicit consent for us to process the information you share. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us.
Contractual Necessity
When you engage our services, processing your personal data becomes necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations, including service delivery, invoicing, and communication regarding your project.
Legitimate Interests
We have legitimate business interests in certain processing activities, such as:
- Responding to general inquiries about our services
- Analyzing website usage to improve functionality
- Maintaining security and preventing fraud
- Managing our business operations
We balance these interests against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data for purposes you would not reasonably expect.
Legal Obligations
In some cases, we process personal data to comply with legal requirements, such as tax reporting, regulatory compliance, or response to lawful requests from authorities.
Your Rights Under GDPR
GDPR grants you specific rights regarding your personal data. We respect these rights and have established procedures to facilitate their exercise.
Right of Access
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, to access that data along with information about how we use it.
Right to Rectification
If personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction.
Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including:
- The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
- You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
- You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
- The data has been unlawfully processed
This right is not absolute; we may retain data when required by law or when other legitimate grounds exist.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or when processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction rather than deletion.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. When you object, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making of this nature.
How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, send a detailed request to [email protected]. We will respond within one month of receiving your request. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two additional months and will inform you of the extension and reasons.
We may request additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling requests. This protects your personal data from unauthorized access.
Data Protection Principles
Our data processing practices adhere to GDPR's core principles:
Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency
We process personal data lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner. We provide clear information about our processing activities through this notice and our privacy policy.
Purpose Limitation
We collect personal data for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes. We do not process data in ways incompatible with those purposes.
Data Minimization
We collect only personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed.
Accuracy
We take reasonable steps to ensure personal data is accurate and kept up to date. We promptly correct or delete inaccurate data when identified.
Storage Limitation
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. We have established retention periods based on legal requirements and business needs.
Integrity and Confidentiality
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage.
Accountability
We take responsibility for our compliance with GDPR principles and can demonstrate our compliance through documentation, policies, and procedures.
International Data Transfers
If we transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:
- Transfers to countries recognized as providing adequate protection
- Use of standard contractual clauses approved by regulatory authorities
- Binding corporate rules for intra-group transfers
Data Security
We implement security measures appropriate to the risks presented by our processing activities. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit and at rest
- Access controls limiting who can view personal data
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Employee training on data protection
- Incident response procedures
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach poses a high risk, we will also notify affected individuals without undue delay.
Children's Data
Our services are not directed at children under sixteen years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly.
