Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Consent: When you voluntarily provide information through forms or communications
  • Contract Performance: When processing is necessary to provide services you requested
  • Legitimate Interest: For improving our services, website functionality, and business operations
  • Legal Obligation: When required to comply with applicable laws

Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data along with information about how it is used.

Right to Rectification

You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You can request deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, when you withdraw consent, or when there is no overriding legitimate reason for processing.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify accuracy of the data or assess whether we have legitimate grounds to process it.

Right to Data Portability

You can request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You can object to processing of your personal data when processing is based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal data violates GDPR.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us at info at vibrant-cypress.com with the subject line "GDPR Request" and specify which right you wish to exercise.

We will respond to your request within one month, though this period may be extended by up to two additional months for complex requests. We will inform you of any such extension within the initial one-month period.

You will not be charged a fee to exercise your rights unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or excessive.

Data Protection Measures

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

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability testing
  • Access controls limiting who can view or process personal data
  • Employee training on data protection principles
  • Incident response procedures for 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 the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay.

International Data Transfers

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

  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Adequacy decisions confirming the recipient country provides adequate data protection
  • Binding Corporate Rules where applicable

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary depending on:

  • The nature of the data collected
  • The purpose for which it was collected
  • Legal obligations requiring retention
  • Legitimate business needs

When personal data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

Third-Party Processors

We work with third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf. We ensure these processors:

  • Provide sufficient guarantees of technical and organizational security measures
  • Process data only on our documented instructions
  • Maintain confidentiality of personal data
  • Comply with GDPR requirements

We may update this GDPR compliance information periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We encourage you to review this page regularly to stay informed about how we protect your data.
