GDPR Compliance Policy

Welcome to DailyDishCenter (https://dailydishcenter.com). We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you share with us, and outlines your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If you have any questions or wish to exercise any of the rights described below, please contact us at [email protected].

1. Data We Collect

DailyDishCenter collects the following types of personal data:

• Email addresses – used for newsletter subscriptions, order confirmations, and customer support.
• Cookies and similar tracking technologies – including first‑party cookies to store session data and third‑party cookies from services such as Google Analytics to measure site usage.
• Analytics data – anonymous usage statistics, device information, IP addresses (hashed), and referral sources that help us improve the user experience.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data under the following lawful bases:

• Consent – when you subscribe to our newsletter or provide an email address, you explicitly consent to receive marketing communications. You may withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interest – we use analytics cookies and aggregated data to optimize our website, ensure security, and improve content relevance. This interest is balanced against your privacy rights and is subject to a legitimate interest assessment.
• Contractual Necessity – for order processing and delivery, we process data required to fulfill the transaction.

3. How We Protect Your Data

Encryption & Secure Transmission – All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected by TLS 1.3 (HTTPS). Data at rest is encrypted on our secure servers using AES‑256 encryption.

Access Controls – Only authorized personnel with a legitimate need can access personal data. We enforce role‑based access controls and require multi‑factor authentication for administrative accounts.

Retention & Disposal – Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Email addresses and associated marketing preferences are kept for a maximum of 12 months after the last interaction unless you request deletion. Analytics data is stored for 6 months and then aggregated or deleted.

Third‑Party Processors – We work with trusted partners (e.g., email service providers, analytics vendors) under strict data processing agreements that enforce GDPR compliance and data security standards.

4. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data. Each right is accompanied by an icon for quick reference.

• Right to Access – You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide you with a concise, understandable summary of the information, including its source, purpose, and recipients.
• Right to Rectification – If any of your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request corrections. We will update or correct the data within a reasonable timeframe.
• Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) – You may ask us to delete your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations. We will remove the data from all active systems and, where possible, from backups.
• Right to Restrict Processing – You can request that we limit the use of your data, for example, if you contest its accuracy or if we are no longer legally permitted to process it. During restriction, we will only store the data but not use it for further processing.
• Right to Data Portability – You may obtain your data in a structured, commonly used, machine‑readable format (e.g., CSV or JSON) and transfer it to another controller.
• Right to Object – You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or profiling purposes. Upon receipt, we will cease processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
• Right to Withdraw Consent – If you previously consented to marketing or other processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any processing performed prior to the withdrawal.
