GDPR Compliance

Last Updated: 1 June 2026

Our Commitment to GDPR

civet-flow is committed to protecting your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page outlines how we comply with GDPR requirements and your rights as a data subject.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

  • Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for specific purposes
  • Contract: Processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge, subject to verification of your identity.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or to complete incomplete data.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including where the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

Right to Data Portability

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

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests, including processing for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where we rely on consent as the legal basis for processing, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Data Transfers
