We only process your data to the extent that this is based on one of the processing grounds that are enumerated in the GDPR, and as indicated below.

 

Statutory obligation

Certain data are processed by us in order to comply with statutory or regulatory obligations vested in us. For example in the context of tax and accounting obligations or in the area of data protection.

 

Required for the implementation of the agreement

Certain data are processed by us because this is required for the conclusion, implementation or termination of an agreement with you as the data subject. For example to contact, schedule, react to a request or request information in the context of the conclusion of a contractual relationship, but also the effective performance of the contractual instruction in the context of our core activity, in order to be able to supply you our services or to receive yours.

 

Legitimate interest

Certain data are processed by us on the basis of our legitimate interest, which in specific instances outweighs any potential detriment to your rights. For example to promote our activities at business contacts; to improve the quality of our services; to train employees and to evaluate and keep track of data and statistics related to our activities, in the broadest sense; to retain and use evidentiary material in the context of liability, procedures or disputes and in view of archiving the activities; and to guarantee the security, both online on this website and in our business premises.

 

Consent

Certain data are processed by us on the basis of your consent. For example to promote activities at potential business contacts; the use of certain analytical or marketing cookies; to place photos that contain personal data on our website and social media channels. Details of applicants shall only be retained after the recruitment procedure with consent.

 

6. Origin of the data

Most of the data that we process were obtained by us directly from you. In the context of our services it may be that we obtain data about you through external service providers or public sources.

 

7. With whom do we share your data?

We never transfer your data to third parties, unless this is strictly necessary in view of the aforementioned purposes or if we are required by law to do so.

 

It is possible to place international orders of which the delivery address is located in as well as outside the EU. When these kinds of orders are placed by our customers, certain data of the customer as well as the delivery address and data of the recipient of the flowers are shared with the company that we rely on for the delivery in and outside the EU. How the aforementioned data are processed by the delivering party (in or outside the EU) falls under the exclusive responsibility of the delivering party, even if relied on the Global Flower Service.

 

Where required, we rely on external service providers (processors) to support our operational objectives, e.g. the management of our websites and IT systems. These external service providers carry out, if so required, certain processing of data on our behalf. We shall only share your data with these external service providers to the degree that this is required for the relevant objective. The data cannot be used by them for any other purpose. Moreover, these service providers are contractually bound to guarantee the confidentiality of your data by means of a “processing agreement” that was concluded with these parties. 

 

Specifically, this implies that we share your data, where relevant in your situation, with the following third parties for the following purposes in the course of which these third parties act, in certain instances, as processors on our behalf:

  • Postal companies, transport and delivery companies, if we need to send you something by post;
  • Payment service providers if we receive payments from you, or vice versa;
  • External representatives and consultants or any other parties who are involved in the context of our main or ancillary activities;
  • The processors who assist us in the area of IT during the exploitation of our organisation, in view of secure and efficient digital data management within our organisation;
  • Official bodies, judicial authorities, and those performing regulated professions like accountants and lawyers, in view of compliance with our statutory obligations and defence of our interests, where required.

 

8. How long do we retain your data?

We do not retain your data longer than required for the purpose for which the data were collected or are being processed. As the period during which the data can be retained depends on the purposes for which the data were collected, the retention period can differ in each situation. Sometimes, specific legislation compels us to retain the data for a certain period. Our retention periods are always based on statutory requirements and a balancing of your rights and expectations and that which is useful and required for the implementation of the purposes. After expiry of the retention period your data are erased or rendered anonymous. 

 

9. Where do we retain your data and how are they protected?

We implemented appropriate security measures in the technical and organisational area in order to prevent the destruction, the loss, the falsification, the alteration, the unauthorised access or unlawful disclosure to third parties as well as any other unauthorised processing of these data in the context of our activities.

 

In addition, we also pay attention to the fact that the processors on whom we rely also implement appropriate security measures to limit the risks of incidents as much as possible.

 

If your data are, during the use of specific services or software tools, processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA) then this shall exclusively take place in countries of which the European Commission confirmed that they safeguard an appropriate level of protection of your data or measures shall be implemented in order to safeguard the lawful processing of your data in these third party countries.
