Under the GDPR, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases depending on the specific processing activity.

Consent

We may process your personal data where you have provided clear consent for a specific purpose.

This may apply, for example, to:

  • Newsletter subscriptions

  • Certain marketing communications

  • Analytics cookies

  • Advertising and marketing cookies

  • Certain uses of information collected through advertising lead forms

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.

Steps prior to entering into a contract or performance of a contract

Where you contact us regarding a potential project or request information with a view to entering into a business relationship, processing may be necessary in order to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legitimate interests

We may process certain personal data where this is necessary for our legitimate business interests and where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

Such interests may include:

  • Responding to business enquiries

  • Managing prospective client relationships

  • Operating and improving our services

  • Maintaining website and information security

  • Preventing misuse or fraud

  • Understanding the effectiveness of our business activities

Where required by law, we will obtain consent instead of relying on legitimate interests.

Legal obligations

We may process personal data where necessary to comply with legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or other obligations applicable to us.

 

6. LinkedIn Lead Generation Forms

Skindesign may use LinkedIn Lead Generation Forms as part of advertising campaigns.

When you submit a Lead Generation Form on LinkedIn, the information you choose to provide is made available to Skindesign for the purposes described in the relevant campaign and this Privacy Policy.

We may use this information to:

  • Respond to your request

  • Contact you regarding your expressed interest

  • Provide information regarding our services

  • Assess potential business opportunities

  • Manage our relationship with prospective clients

  • Send marketing communications only where we have an appropriate legal basis to do so

Submitting an enquiry does not automatically mean that you will be subscribed to ongoing marketing communications.

Where separate consent is required for marketing activities, we will request that consent separately.

LinkedIn independently processes information relating to the use of its platform in accordance with LinkedIn’s own privacy policies and terms.

Once information submitted through a Lead Generation Form is provided to Skindesign, we process that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation.

We do not sell information obtained through LinkedIn Lead Generation Forms.

  • Understand your requirements

  • Discuss potential services or projects

  • Prepare relevant information or proposals

Information submitted through a contact form may be transmitted to and stored within our email, hosting, CRM or other business systems where necessary to manage the enquiry.

Submission of a contact form does not automatically subscribe you to our newsletter or other promotional communications.

Where newsletter consent is offered through a separate checkbox, subscription to marketing communications is voluntary.

 

8. Newsletter and Direct Marketing

We may send newsletters and other promotional communications where:

  • You have provided your consent; or

  • Another lawful basis permits such communication under applicable law.

Where consent is required, marketing consent will be requested separately and will not be a condition for submitting a general business enquiry unless necessary for the requested service.

Every electronic marketing communication will provide an appropriate method for withdrawing or changing your marketing preferences.

You may also request to stop receiving marketing communications by contacting us at info@skindesign.gr.
