Lawful Basis for Processing
We process personal data under the following lawful bases as defined by GDPR:
- Consent: When you submit a contact form or subscribe to communications, you provide explicit consent for us to process your data for specified purposes.
- Legitimate Interest: We may process data when it is in our legitimate business interest and does not override your fundamental rights, such as improving our services and website functionality.
- Legal Obligation: We may process data when required to comply with legal requirements.
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
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 within one month of your request.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate personal data we hold about you, and to have incomplete data completed.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose or when you withdraw consent.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the 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 based on legitimate interests, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects concerning you.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month. If we need additional time due to the complexity of your request, we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.
You will not be charged a fee for exercising your rights, except in cases of manifestly unfounded or excessive requests, where we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request.
Data Transfers
As gorge-juniper is based in Canada, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection. We ensure that any transfers of personal data are carried out in accordance with GDPR requirements.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining retention periods, we consider the amount and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, and applicable legal requirements.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of data in transit
- Regular security assessments
- Access controls and authentication measures
- Staff training on data protection
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
Complaints
If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For EEA residents, this would be the data protection authority in your country of residence.

We may update this GDPR compliance notice from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
