It explains how we collect and use the personal information you provide when accessing Dietology services through the Website. It also describes your choices regarding the use of your personal data and how you can manage and control it. While you're not required to provide personal information just by visiting the Website, using Dietology's services requires us to collect and process personal data, typically with the data subject’s consent.

Under Article 37/1 of the GDPR, Dietology is not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO), but we have designated a representative responsible for ensuring GDPR compliance. This representative can be contacted at [email protected] for any data protection queries or concerns.

Dietology is committed to adhering to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant local data protection laws, particularly concerning sensitive data such as names, addresses, emails, phone numbers, and payment information ("data subjects"). Our Privacy Policy aims to transparently communicate how we collect, use, and protect personal data, its purpose, and scope. It also informs data subjects (users) of their rights related to their personal data.

As the data controller, Dietology has implemented robust technical and organizational measures to protect personal data collected on this Website. "We," "Us," "Our," and "Dietology" all refer to Dietology. Please note that our services are not intended for minors, and our Website does not target individuals under the age of 18.

  • Analyze website traffic and user interaction patterns.
  • Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and refine marketing strategies.
  • Enhance content relevance to ensure the information we provide meets your needs and interests.

These technologies are essential for improving the user experience and ensuring the content and advertisements we present are meaningful and relevant to you.

Your Control over Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We respect your right to privacy and offer tools to manage your preferences regarding cookies and tracking technologies:

  • Browser Settings: You can adjust your browser settings to reject new cookies, delete existing ones, or notify you when cookies are being sent to your device.

DATA PROTECTION

At Dietology, we understand that the digital world is not only a hub for connectivity and innovation but also a breeding ground for security risks. Safeguarding your privacy and protecting your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or theft is a fundamental aspect of our commitment to you. To ensure this, we take a comprehensive approach to prevent data theft, misuse, and other security breaches.

A key component of our data protection strategy is our careful approach to collecting, storing, and processing user information. We only collect essential data to minimize the risk of data breaches. All information stored on Dietology's servers is encrypted, ensuring that if a breach were to occur, the data remains inaccessible to unauthorized individuals.

Our commitment to security is further demonstrated through our strict compliance with international privacy laws and regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union. This compliance ensures the careful handling of personal data and provides transparency to our users about how their information is used and protected.

While we implement extensive security measures, there are certain situations in which we may need to share personal information. These circumstances are strictly controlled and include:

  • Complying with legal obligations or responding to valid legal inquiries and proceedings involving us.
  • Investigating potential violations of our privacy policy or cases where our service may be used for unlawful purposes.
  • Examining suspected fraudulent activities.
  • Protecting the rights, property, or safety of Dietology, our staff, customers, or the public.

In the event of significant organizational changes, such as mergers, acquisitions, or the winding down of the company, personal information may be transferred to the new owners. We are committed to notifying our users of these changes, allowing them to exercise their GDPR rights as applicable.

Furthermore, we collaborate with third-party entities through strict data processing agreements to ensure the protection and lawful handling of personal data. Our partners, ranging from marketing collaborators to payment processors, are fully compliant with the Data Protection Act (DPA), ensuring secure transactions and maintaining our service standards.

Although external technology providers play a role in delivering our services, we limit their data processing activities to that of sub-processors, in strict compliance with our Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and GDPR standards.

However, we must acknowledge that our data security measures can be compromised if users do not properly manage their access credentials. We cannot be held responsible for data breaches resulting from user negligence. In the event of a data breach, we are committed to promptly notifying the appropriate regulatory bodies and, if necessary, the affected individuals.

At Dietology, we are dedicated to creating a secure online environment where privacy is protected, and trust remains a top priority.

 

DATA RETENTION OVERVIEW

Retention Period Alignment

We carefully align the retention period of personal data with the relevant legal data retention guidelines. Once the specified retention period ends, and if the data no longer serves its original purpose, we initiate a secure process for its deletion or anonymization. This ensures that data is not retained longer than necessary or beyond legal requirements. Our approach underscores our commitment to proper data storage and disposal, which is essential for safeguarding personal data privacy and security.

Compliance and Minimization

Our data retention practices strictly comply with data privacy laws, including the GDPR for users within the European Union. This reflects our dedication to data minimization, ensuring we only store data necessary for our processing needs. Once the legally allowed retention period ends, or if the data no longer serves its intended purpose, we follow a secure and confidential process to delete or anonymize the data.

This guarantees that personal information is fully removed from our systems or anonymized when immediate deletion is not feasible or when legal interests justify retaining the data in an archived form. This strategy helps significantly reduce the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access by removing personally identifiable information from the data.

These efforts are part of our proactive approach to not only comply with legal requirements but to also prioritize the privacy and security of personal data throughout its lifecycle, from collection to deletion or anonymization.

 

YOUR DATA PROTECTION RIGHTS

At Dietology, we believe it’s crucial for our users to feel empowered and informed about their data rights. Transparency and control are key elements of our data protection practices. Below is detailed information about your rights concerning your personal data and how you can exercise them:

Right to Access

You have the right to access your personal data that Dietology holds. This allows you to request a copy of all the data we have about you, including how we use it and who we share it with. This right ensures transparency regarding the extent of our data processing. To exercise this right, simply contact our data protection officer with your request. We will respond promptly, typically within one month of receiving a valid request. This service is usually free of charge.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you. This ensures that your information remains up-to-date and accurate. To initiate this process, please contact our data protection team, and we will make the necessary updates as swiftly as possible. This right is vital for maintaining the integrity of your personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

The right to restrict processing allows you to limit how Dietology uses your personal data. This right is particularly relevant if you dispute the accuracy of your data or question the legality of its processing. You can request that we halt processing until your concerns are addressed. To exercise this right, please contact our data protection officer with the details of your request. We prioritize these requests to ensure your data is handled as per your wishes.

Data Portability Right

The data portability right enables you to retrieve and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. You can request that Dietology provide your data in a widely-used, machine-readable format or have it directly transferred to another entity, provided it's technically possible. This right gives you greater control and flexibility over your personal data.

Right to Challenge Data Processing

You have the right to challenge how Dietology processes your personal data under certain circumstances. If you feel your data is being misused for purposes like direct marketing, research, or in ways that violate your rights, you are entitled to object. If you do object, Dietology will halt processing, unless we can demonstrate legitimate, compelling reasons for the processing that outweigh your rights and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for legal claims. To exercise this right, contact our data protection officer with details of your objections.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling Rights

You have the right to be exempt from decisions made solely through automated processing, including profiling, if they have a significant legal or substantial impact on you. This ensures that decisions affecting your personal data are fair and transparent. If you have concerns or wish to request human intervention in such decisions, please contact our data protection officer directly.

 

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

At Dietology, we are fully committed to adhering to the stringent data protection requirements of the GDPR. We follow the principle of data minimization, ensuring the utmost security of personal data by collecting only the essential information needed to provide you with our services. Below are the specific categories of personal data we collect from our users:

  • User’s Complete Name: To register your account and offer personalized services, we collect your full name, including both first and last names.
  • Email Address: This is essential for account setup and allows us to communicate with you, including sending important service-related updates and notifications.
  • Billing Information: We collect necessary billing information to process transactions, including your physical address, zip code, city, country, and contact number.
  • Payment Method: While we collect payment method details for transaction processing, we ensure that only partial details are stored, and full credit card numbers are never retained on our systems.
  • IP Address and Location Data: We gather this data from your Internet Service Provider. The IP address helps us identify users, while location data assists in analyzing user engagement across different geographical regions.

When you create an account with Dietology, you will be asked to provide this critical information, which we categorize as User Information. This includes identifiable details such as your name and email address, which are necessary for account creation and management. Billing Information, though partially retained, is essential for financial transactions and is processed by external payment providers.

Your personal data serves various purposes to improve your experience with Dietology’s services. These purposes include:

  • Customizing your website experience based on user preferences
  • Sending communications such as registration confirmations, password resets, and payment receipts
  • Facilitating interactions and providing customer support
  • Sharing aggregated statistical data with partners to enhance the quality of service delivery

This approach demonstrates our commitment to data security, GDPR compliance, and safeguarding your privacy, all while improving your experience with our services.

 

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

At Dietology, protecting user privacy and ensuring control over personal information are core principles of our operations. Our data management practices are built around securing explicit consent from our users, also referred to as data subjects. This consent must be given voluntarily and affirmatively, ensuring a clear understanding and agreement to the processing of personal information by Dietology.

User Consent and Data Processing

A "data subject" or "user" refers to any identifiable individual whose personal data is processed by Dietology. Data processing encompasses a wide range of activities, including collection, storage, organization, modification, access, review, use, dissemination, combination, and eventual deletion of personal data. These processes may be conducted manually or with the assistance of automated systems.

Personal data includes any information that can directly or indirectly reveal a user’s identity. This may include, but is not limited to, names, identification numbers, location data, online identifiers, and other characteristics related to physical, psychological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identifiers.

We are fully committed to ensuring rigorous data management, which reflects our dedication to preserving user privacy and rights. Our processes ensure that users are well-informed and give explicit, voluntary consent for the processing of their personal data. Dietology adheres to GDPR and other applicable data protection laws, aligning with the highest standards of data privacy and security.

Transparency and User Rights

We maintain transparency by granting users the right to access, correct, and, if necessary, erase their personal data that is processed by Dietology. This approach enhances accountability and gives users control over their data, fostering trust. We continuously communicate with our users, providing clear explanations about how their data is used and offering an easy process for exercising their rights.

This commitment not only ensures compliance with evolving data protection regulations but also underscores our ethical use of information. By prioritizing the privacy and rights of our users, Dietology goes beyond legal compliance to cultivate a culture of trust and respect. This, in turn, helps sustain long-term relationships with those we serve. Through our comprehensive data management practices, we aim to not just meet but exceed our users' expectations, delivering a secure and enriching experience across our platforms.

 

HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

In the interest of transparency and accountability, Dietology wants to clearly explain how and with whom your personal information may be shared. We ensure that all sharing complies with applicable data protection regulations, such as GDPR, safeguarding your privacy rights.

Sharing with Third-Party Service Providers

Your information may be shared with trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf. These include cloud storage providers, marketing and analytics partners, and software development services. All third-party partners undergo a thorough vetting process to ensure they meet our rigorous data protection standards. They are also bound by contractual agreements that require them to process your information strictly according to our instructions and in alignment with this privacy policy, as well as other necessary confidentiality and security measures.

Legal Disclosures

In certain circumstances, we may be required to disclose your information to law enforcement, regulatory bodies, or the courts to comply with legal obligations or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Dietology, our users, or others. This includes sharing information with other organizations for fraud prevention and credit risk mitigation.

Minimum Necessary Disclosure

We follow the policy of sharing only the minimum amount of information necessary for third parties to provide their services or fulfill legal requirements. We do not sell or rent your personal data to marketers or other third parties.

Business Transitions

In the event of a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of Dietology's assets, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transaction. However, we will ensure that the privacy commitments outlined in this policy continue to apply to your data, and any acquiring entity will be obligated to uphold these promises.

  

LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Our Privacy Policy is designed to uphold the highest legal standards, with a particular focus on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation 2016/679). This regulation, which aims to protect individual rights in the processing of personal data while ensuring the free movement of data, replaced Directive 95/46/EC and has been in effect since May 25, 2018. For users accessing our services from outside the European Union, it is their responsibility to ensure compliance with any applicable local laws.

Under the GDPR, two main roles are defined in the processing of personal data: 'data controllers,' who determine the purpose and means of data processing, and 'data processors,' who handle personal data on behalf of the controller. In this context, all clients of Dietology, whether organizations or individuals, are considered data controllers. This makes Dietology a data processor, tasked with managing your personal data in accordance with GDPR requirements and ensuring that our data processing partners comply with these standards.

 

PRIVACY POLICY UPDATES

Dietology reserves the right to modify or entirely overhaul our privacy policy as needed for any reason we deem appropriate. Any changes or updates will take effect immediately upon publication of the revised policy on our website. We encourage users to regularly review our privacy policy to stay informed about the measures we are taking to protect your personal information. The date of the most recent revision will be clearly displayed at the top of the policy document, allowing users to easily see when it was last updated.

For major updates to our privacy practices, we will notify users either through our website or directly, depending on the situation. However, users should periodically review this policy to remain aware of any changes that might affect how their personal data is handled. By continuing to use our services after any updates to this privacy policy, you are agreeing to the revised terms.

At Dietology, safeguarding your privacy is our top priority. We are committed to being transparent about our data handling practices and ensuring the protection of your personal data. If you have any questions or concerns regarding how we manage privacy or protect your information, please feel free to contact us through our support channels.
