GoodLife Foods wishes to provide categories of recipients rather than individual company names to avoid having to frequently update this statement. Please contact us for further information regarding the identity of the specific recipients of personal data.
Does the personal data remain in Europe?
In this context, we refer to the European Economic Area (EEA). This consists of the EU countries, as well as Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland. All countries outside this area are considered third countries.
In some cases, GoodLife Foods transfers personal data to third countries, in particular the United States or the United Kingdom.
For transfers to the United Kingdom, for example to the GoodLife Foods location, the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision. This means that an adequate level of protection for your personal data is already in place in the United Kingdom.
Regarding the United States, we try to only transfer data to parties certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Due to ongoing developments regarding international data transfers, the measures taken by recipients may change from time to time.
GoodLife Foods therefore refers you to the privacy statements of these recipients themselves for the most up-to-date information on the protective measures in place. This applies to the following parties:
- Active Campaign – for marketing purposes
- Mailchimp – for sending newsletters
- Microsoft – for facilitating, among other things, the email system
- Workday – our recruitment system
For more information about the transfer of your personal data outside the EEA, please contact us.
How long is the data retained?
The retention periods for the data that GoodLife Foods processes may vary, depending on the category of data and how it was collected.
In any case, data will be erased when you withdraw your consent.
We retain your application data for four weeks or, with your consent, for one year after the application process has been completed.
We may extend the data retention period in certain cases, for example if we need the data for a longer period due to a dispute or if the data has been included in a backup as part of security measures.
Regarding the data collected via cookies on the website, the retention periods as described in the cookie statement apply.
For more information about the retention periods for your personal data, please contact us.
What rights do I have?
Under the law, you are considered a data subject if information is related to you as an identified or identifiable natural person. Data subjects have certain legal rights.
You may submit a request to GoodLife Foods to access, receive, rectify or delete your personal data. You may also object to the further processing of your data or, in certain cases, request a restriction on processing or request data portability.
If GoodLife Foods processes your personal data based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
