Our legal grounds for Data Processing

The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is effective from May 25th 2018, and requires us to inform you about our legal basis for the processing of your data.

Our processing and collection of your data is either based on your consent provided for us to do so, or is necessary in order for us to fulfil our obligation in a contractual relationship with you, or it is in respect of legitimate interests or any legal obligation under law, as stated in Article 6 in the GDPR.

Your rights

The GDPR sets out different rights for you as an individual, which gives you greater control over your data.

Your right to be informed is one of them, and that is what we do when we provide you with this privacy policy. You have a right to access the data we store on your, and this can be done through a SAR. Please see point 3.6. in this privacy policy on how to go about that.

You have a right to rectification or to complete inaccurate personal data, if your data has been processed by the basis of contract, consent or legitimate interest. Please note that if we find your request to be manifestly unfounded or excessive, or repetitive in nature, we reserve the right to refuse to comply with your request, as is set out in the GDPR. We also reserve our right to request a reasonable fee for dealing with your request.

If your data has been processed on basis of consent or for us to comply with a legal obligation or legitimate interest you have the right of erasure, also referred to as the right to be forgotten. The right to data portability applies where we have processed your personal data on the basis of consent or our contractual relationship.

You have the right to object to processing where we have processed data on the basis of consent or contract.

Please be aware that where we process your personal data under the basis of legal obligation, none of these rights other than the right to be informed and right to access will apply.

We have taken technical and organisational measures to ensure your rights under the GDPR is set out clearly in this policy and that we ensure your data is secure with us when we are processing it. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on this email address: hello@wildseedstudios.com
