GDPR Compliance

Your data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Last updated: January 20, 2025

1. Our Commitment to GDPR Compliance

Fieldero is committed to protecting the privacy and data rights of individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland. We comply fully with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and related data protection laws.

This page explains your rights under GDPR, how we process your personal data, and how you can exercise your rights. For comprehensive information about our data practices, please also review our Privacy Policy.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

Under GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process your personal data. We rely on the following legal bases:

Contract Performance

Processing necessary to provide the Service and fulfill our contractual obligations to you (e.g., account management, service delivery, payment processing).

Legitimate Interests

Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests (e.g., fraud prevention, service improvement, analytics) where not overridden by your data protection rights.

Consent

Where you have explicitly consented to specific processing activities (e.g., marketing emails, optional cookies). You can withdraw consent at any time.

Legal Obligations

Processing required to comply with legal obligations (e.g., tax reporting, financial record-keeping, responding to lawful requests from authorities).

3. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject under GDPR, you have the following rights:

3.1 Right to Access (Article 15)

You have the right to request confirmation that we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data. You can also request information about:

  • The purposes of processing
  • Categories of personal data we hold
  • Recipients or categories of recipients
  • Retention periods
  • Your other GDPR rights

3.2 Right to Rectification (Article 16)

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete data. You can update most information directly in your account settings or contact us for assistance.

3.3 Right to Erasure / "Right to be Forgotten" (Article 17)

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
  • You withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent)
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The data was unlawfully processed
  • Deletion is required for compliance with legal obligations

Note: This right is not absolute. We may need to retain certain data to comply with legal obligations (e.g., financial records for 7 years).

3.4 Right to Restrict Processing (Article 18)

You can request that we limit how we process your data in certain situations:

  • You contest the accuracy of the data (restriction during verification)
  • Processing is unlawful, but you prefer restriction over deletion
  • We no longer need the data, but you need it for legal claims
  • You have objected to processing (restriction pending verification)

3.5 Right to Data Portability (Article 20)

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format (e.g., CSV, JSON) and transmit it to another controller.

This right applies when processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means.

3.6 Right to Object (Article 21)

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes:

  • Direct Marketing: You can object at any time, and we will stop processing immediately
  • Legitimate Interests: We will stop processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your rights

3.7 Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making (Article 22)

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Current Status: Fieldero does not currently use automated decision-making or profiling that would significantly affect you. If this changes, we will notify you and obtain consent where required.

4. How to Exercise Your Rights

You can exercise your GDPR rights in the following ways:

Note: We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly. However, this does not affect your right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
