To comply with our legal tax obligations (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR), we process specific personal data for tax purposes. This data may include your country of residence, tax identification number, or similar identification data, depending on the applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.
We process your other personal data as indicated above for the following purposes, provided you have given your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR):
-
Creating and offering a personalised, online nutrition profile for the presentation of a selection of recipes based on your nutritional profile;
-
Displaying ingredients in collaboration with local supermarkets: With your consent, we may use your location data to provide information about ingredients available at supermarkets we work with. This allows us to make personalised suggestions based on your dietary preferences.

4. Your legal rights
Under data protection laws, you have various rights that you can exercise. These include:
Right of access: You have the right to request access to your personal data that we have collected. This allows you to verify the information we process about you and ensure its lawful processing.
Right to rectification: If you find that the personal data we process about you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request us to correct it. We will verify the accuracy of the new data before making changes to our systems.
Right to erasure ('Right to be forgotten'): You have the right to request us to delete or erase your personal data if there is no longer a legal basis for processing it, for example, if you withdraw your consent. However, in some cases, we may be required to retain your data due to legal obligations or other legitimate purposes.
Right to restrict processing: You can also request to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you dispute the accuracy of the data or if the processing is unlawful. During the restriction, we will only process your data with your consent or for specific legal purposes.
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive the personal data we have collected about you in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, so you can transfer it to another data controller.
5. Your rights – additional information
Right to withdraw consent
If the processing of your personal data is based on your prior, explicit consent, you will have the right to withdraw your explicit consent. Withdrawal of your expressed consent will not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on your explicit consent before the withdrawal. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving consent. If you have indicated that you want to receive our marketing messages, you will, for example, be given an opt-out option. If you no longer wish to give us permission to process certain personal data in your nutrition profile, you can delete it yourself in your nutrition profile.
In principle, this is free of charge
You do not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive, or exaggerated. We may also refuse to comply with your request in this case.
Verification of your identity
We may need to ask you for specific information that will allow us to confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data or exercise your other rights. This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to a person who does not have the right to receive this data. We may also contact you for further information regarding your request to speed up our response.
6. Data retention & security
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected, particularly to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider various factors, including the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your data, the purposes of processing, and whether these purposes can be achieved by other means than retaining your data.
Our applications (websites) are secure, up-to-date, and comply with the latest security guidelines. Your personal data is securely stored on Google Cloud Platform (Google Ireland Limited) servers located within the European Union. These security measures are designed to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorized use, access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
We adhere to strict security procedures and company systems to ensure that your personal data is used only for the intended purpose and accessible to authorized employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties who need such information for business reasons. The access of these parties to personal data is limited to the necessary level for performing their duties, and all involved parties are bound by strict confidentiality obligations.
7. Third parties receiving personal data
We share your personal data with third parties with whom we work to provide our products and services – only and to the extent necessary for the proper functioning of Verdi Food, with regard to the aforementioned purposes.

We will only enter into cooperation with a third party if this party can demonstrate that appropriate security measures have been taken and confidentiality can be guaranteed.
