GDPR Compliance

Our Commitment to GDPR Compliance

Sleek-petal is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page outlines how we comply with GDPR requirements and explains your rights as a data subject.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data only when we have a legal basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:

• Consent: When you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for specific purposes.
• Contract: When processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.
• Legal Obligation: When we must process your data to comply with the law.
• Legitimate Interests: When processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. We will provide you with a copy of your personal data in a commonly used electronic format.

Right to Rectification

If you believe any information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or complete it.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that we delete your personal data. This right applies when:

• The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
• You withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The personal data has been unlawfully processed
• The personal data must be erased to comply with a legal obligation

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from us.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing. You also have the right to object to processing for direct marketing purposes at any time.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us using the details provided below. We will respond to your request within one month, though this period may be extended by two additional months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests.

When you submit a request, we may ask you to verify your identity to ensure we are disclosing or modifying information only to the appropriate person.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

• Encryption of personal data in transit and at rest
• Regular security assessments and updates
• Access controls limiting who can view personal data
• Staff training on data protection and security
• Procedures for detecting, reporting, and investigating data breaches

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. We will also notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible.

International Data Transfers

When we transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
• Adequacy decisions by the European Commission
• Other legally approved transfer mechanisms

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining retention periods, we consider:

• The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data
• The purposes for which we process the data
• Whether we can achieve those purposes through other means
• Applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements

Children's Data

Our services are not directed at children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state where you reside, work, or where an alleged infringement occurred.
