Depending on the website’s actual configuration, visitors may voluntarily provide personal information through contact forms or other interactive features.

The exact categories of data processed depend on the technologies actually implemented on the website.

Purposes of Processing

Personal data may be processed where necessary to operate and maintain the website, respond to inquiries, provide requested functionality, maintain website security, prevent abuse, understand website performance, improve content, or comply with legal obligations.

Personal data should be collected and processed only for specific and appropriate purposes. GDPR principles include purpose limitation and data minimization. 

Legal Bases

Where the GDPR applies, processing of personal data requires an appropriate legal basis.

Depending on the circumstances, the legal basis may include consent, contractual necessity, compliance with a legal obligation, protection of vital interests, or legitimate interests where the applicable requirements are satisfied.

Where consent is required, visitors should receive appropriate information and meaningful choices.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

freshandbalanced.com may use cookies or similar technologies depending on its actual technical configuration.

Necessary cookies may support basic website functionality, security, and technical operation. Analytics, advertising, personalization, or other non-essential technologies may require consent depending on applicable law and implementation.

The final Privacy Policy should identify the actual cookies and technologies used rather than listing services that are not installed.

Analytics

If analytics services are used, information concerning website visits and interactions may be processed to understand traffic patterns, content performance, technical issues, and general website usage.

Any analytics provider actually used on the website should be specifically identified in the final version of this Privacy Policy, together with its purpose, legal basis, retention information, and relevant data-processing arrangements.

Third-Party Services

The website may use third-party providers for hosting, security, analytics, advertising, embedded content, forms, website functionality, or other technical services.

The website operator should review every third-party service actually installed and determine what personal data it processes, why the processing occurs, what legal basis applies, whether data is transferred internationally, and how long information is retained.

Data Retention

Personal data should generally be retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods can vary depending on the category of data, purpose of processing, legal obligations, and other applicable circumstances.

The GDPR’s storage-limitation principle requires personal data to be kept for no longer than necessary for the relevant purposes. .

Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures should be used to protect personal data against unauthorized access, unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or alteration.

The GDPR also emphasizes integrity, confidentiality, and appropriate technical and organizational safeguards. .

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.

GDPR Rights

Where applicable, individuals may have rights concerning their personal data, including the right to be informed, access personal data, request correction, request erasure, restrict processing, object to certain processing, and receive portable data in applicable circumstances. .

Where processing is based on consent, individuals may generally withdraw consent, subject to applicable legal requirements and circumstances.

Individuals may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority.
