Legal Bases for Processing Personal Data
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process personal data based on several legal grounds. These include consent, where users have explicitly agreed to the processing of their data; contractual necessity, where processing is required to fulfill our contractual obligations; legal obligations, where we are required to process data to comply with the law; and legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these interests are not overridden by the user's rights and freedoms.
What is GDPR?
GDPR, or the General Data Protection Regulation, is a comprehensive data protection law in the EU that governs how personal data is collected, processed, and stored. It aims to give individuals more control over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business.
How do you ensure data security?
We employ a range of security measures, including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits, to protect personal data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.
What data do you collect?
We collect personal data such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other information necessary for providing our services and improving user experience.
Data Retention Periods
Understanding Our Data Retention Practices
At Mikie Godfriaux, we are committed to retaining personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. The retention period for personal data varies depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it is processed. For instance, data related to contractual obligations is retained for the duration of the contract and beyond, as required by applicable law. We regularly review our data retention policies to ensure compliance with GDPR and other applicable regulations.
We also take into account the sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and the purposes for which we process the data. Once the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymize personal data to ensure it cannot be reconstructed or read. Users have the right to request the deletion of their personal data at any time, subject to certain legal exceptions.
User Rights Under GDPR
GDPR provides individuals with a range of rights regarding their personal data. These rights are designed to give users greater control over their data and include the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and object to processing. Users also have the right to withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the legal basis for processing their data.

You can request access to your personal data by contacting us directly. We will provide you with a copy of the data we hold about you, free of charge, within one month of your request.
Can I request data deletion?
Yes, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data. We will comply with your request unless we are required to retain the data for legal reasons.
What is data portability?
Data portability allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data across different services. You can request a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
How do I withdraw consent?
To withdraw your consent for data processing, please contact us. Once consent is withdrawn, we will cease processing your data unless there is another legal basis for doing so.
Can I object to data processing?
Yes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if it is based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing your data unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.
