At Quick Recipes, we prioritize protecting your privacy and ensuring your information is managed per the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page explains your rights under GDPR and how we manage your data when you use our services.

Your Data Rights Under GDPR

As a European Economic Area (EEA) resident, you have specific rights regarding your data. These include:

  1. Right to Access: You can request information about the personal data we hold about you. Upon request, we will provide a copy of this information.
  2. Right to Rectification: If there are mistakes or missing information in your data, you can request that they be amended. Your information will be revised to ensure its accuracy.
  3. Right to Erasure: You have the option to request the deletion of your data, commonly referred to as the « right to be forgotten. » We will remove your information unless we have a valid reason to keep it (such as legal or regulatory requirements).
  4. Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of your information or when the processing is unlawful. Still, you don’t want your data deleted.
  5. Right to Data Portability: You can obtain your data in a structured, commonly used format that a machine can read. This allows you to easily move, copy, or transfer your data to another service.
  6. Right to Object: You can contest our management of your personal information based on legitimate interests or direct marketing. If you object, we will stop processing your data unless we have a compelling legal basis to continue.
  7. Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that significantly affects you.
