4. Purposes and Legal Bases

Where the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) applies, we process personal information on the following legal bases.

General Business Inquiries

We process contact information and the content of communications to review and respond to general business inquiries.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in receiving, reviewing, and responding to professional communications and operating our business under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Pre-Contractual Discussions

Where you contact us in your own name and request specific steps with a view to entering into a contract, we process information necessary to evaluate the requested engagement, discuss the scope of services, and prepare a proposal under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Where you communicate with us as an employee, officer, or representative of a company or other organization, the legal basis is generally our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in communicating with that organization and evaluating a possible business relationship.

Performance of Contracts and Business Relationships

Where you are personally a party to a contract with us, we process information necessary to perform that contract under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Where the contracting party is a company or other legal entity and we process information concerning its employees, officers, representatives, or other business contacts, the legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in performing and managing the business relationship.

Referrals and Coordination With Professional Service Providers

As part of our services, we may identify, introduce, or coordinate with professional service providers or business partners where this is necessary for a service requested or authorized by the client.

Depending on the circumstances, the legal basis may be:

  • Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, where the individual concerned is personally a party to the relevant contract and the disclosure is necessary for its performance;

  • Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, where the disclosure is necessary for an authorized business engagement and our legitimate interests are not overridden by the rights and interests of the individual concerned; or

  • Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, where we specifically request and rely on the individual’s voluntary consent.

We disclose only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Website Operation and Security

We process limited technical information to provide, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot the website, prevent misuse, and protect our systems.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing a secure, stable, and functional website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Compliance With Legal Obligations

Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation arising under European Union law or the law of an EU Member State to which we are subject, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Where we process information to comply with other applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or corporate requirements, the legal basis will depend on the circumstances and may include our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in complying with lawful obligations and conducting our business responsibly.

Legal Claims and Protection of Rights

We may process and retain information where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, enforce agreements, resolve disputes, or protect our legal rights.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Consent

Where we specifically request your consent for a defined processing purpose, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

5. Contact Form, Email, and Phone

Contact Form

When you use our contact form, we process the information entered into the form to review and respond to your inquiry.

Depending on the technical configuration, a contact form submission may be:

  • transmitted to us by email;

  • processed by our hosting or form provider; or

  • stored in the WordPress website database.

We do not use contact form information for behavioral advertising, unrelated marketing, or visitor profiling.

Email

When you contact us by email, we process your email address, the content of your message, any attachments, and related transmission information.

Our email or domain service providers may technically process this information as necessary to transmit, store, secure, and administer the email service.

Phone

When you contact us by phone, we may process your name, phone number, company information, the subject of the conversation, and reasonable business notes.

We do not record phone calls unless you have been informed in advance and a lawful basis exists.

6. Cookies and Website Technologies

Our website is intended to use only cookies and comparable technologies that are technically necessary for its operation, security, administration, and functionality.

Necessary technologies may be used to:

  • deliver the website;

  • maintain essential website functions;

  • protect forms and systems against misuse;

  • maintain security settings; and

  • support technical administration.

Our website uses WordPress and Elementor. Our hosting provider, form functionality, security systems, and other technical providers may process limited information necessary to provide their services.

If we introduce analytics, advertising, embedded content, or other non-essential technologies in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and implement any consent mechanism required by applicable law before using them.

7. Sharing Personal Information

We do not sell personal information.

We may share personal information with:

  • hosting, website, domain, email, form, security, and IT providers;

  • attorneys, accountants, tax advisors, and other professional advisors;

  • service providers and business partners involved in a project requested or authorized by the client;

  • courts, regulators, governmental authorities, or other public bodies where legally required; and

  • parties involved in a lawful merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or transfer of all or part of our business.

As part of an authorized engagement, service providers and business partners may include attorneys, tax professionals, customs specialists, logistics providers, translators, recruiters, consultants, marketing providers, or other professional service providers.

We disclose only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.

Technical service providers acting on our behalf are subject to appropriate contractual and confidentiality obligations where required by applicable law. Independent professional advisors and business partners may process information under their own legal responsibilities.

8. International Data Transfers

Meeser Atlantic LLC is established in the United States. Information sent to us from the European Economic Area may therefore be processed in the United States.

Our technical providers may also process information in the United States or other countries in which they or their subprocessors operate.

Where required by applicable European data protection law, international transfers are based on an appropriate legal mechanism, which may include:

  • an adequacy decision;

  • participation in an approved data privacy framework;

  • standard contractual clauses;

  • another approved safeguard; or

  • an applicable statutory exception.

You may contact us for further information regarding safeguards relevant to a particular transfer.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Inquiries Without a Business Relationship

If no contract is entered into, an inquiry or potential engagement is not pursued, or you inform us that you do not wish to continue discussions, we delete the related personal information without undue delay after the matter has been concluded.

Limited information may be retained where necessary to comply with applicable law, document the handling of a request, prevent repeated unwanted communications, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

Active Business Relationships

During an active business relationship, we retain information for as long as necessary to perform the relevant services, manage the relationship, coordinate requested services, and comply with applicable obligations.

Ended Business Relationships

After a business relationship ends, personal information that is no longer required will ordinarily be deleted or anonymized as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than one year after the end of the relationship.

Information may be retained for longer where necessary because of:

  • tax, accounting, corporate, or other applicable statutory retention requirements;

  • applicable limitation periods;

  • pending or reasonably anticipated legal claims;

  • unresolved contractual or payment matters; or

  • another documented legal requirement.

When the applicable retention period expires and no other lawful reason for retention remains, the information will be deleted or anonymized.

Technical Records and Backups

Server logs and technical security records are retained only for the period configured by the relevant hosting or infrastructure provider and as necessary for website operation, security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, or legal compliance.

Deleted information may remain temporarily in routine backup copies until the relevant backup cycle is completed.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

11. Your Rights Under the GDPR

Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to:

  • Confirmation and access: obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal information and request access to that information;

  • Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information;

  • Erasure: request deletion of your personal information where the applicable legal requirements are met;

  • Restriction: request restriction of processing in the circumstances provided by law;

  • Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation;

  • Data portability: receive certain personal information you provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and, where applicable and technically feasible, request transmission to another controller;

  • Withdrawal of consent: withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent; and

  • Complaint: lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority.

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Where processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you may object to the processing on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will cease the relevant processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the European Union Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.

These rights may be subject to statutory conditions, limitations, and exceptions.

12. United States Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence and whether the applicable state privacy law applies to Meeser Atlantic LLC or the relevant processing, you may have the right to:

  • confirm whether we process your personal information;

  • access personal information we maintain about you;

  • correct inaccurate personal information;

  • request deletion of personal information;

  • obtain a portable copy of certain personal information;

  • obtain information about categories of personal information, sources, purposes, and recipients;

  • opt out of the sale of personal information;

  • opt out of targeted advertising;

  • opt out of certain profiling activities; and

  • appeal a refusal to act on an eligible privacy request.

We do not sell personal information.

We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or process personal information for targeted advertising.

We do not use personal information for automated profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

These rights are subject to the scope, applicability thresholds, definitions, verification requirements, limitations, and exceptions of the applicable state law. Nothing in this section grants a right that is not provided by applicable law.

We will respond within the period required by applicable law. Under the GDPR, this is generally within one month of receiving the request, subject to legally permitted extensions.

14. Required and Voluntary Information

Providing information through our contact form, by email, or by phone is generally voluntary.

However, we need sufficient contact and business information to review and respond to your inquiry. Without the necessary information, we may be unable to respond or provide the requested assistance.

Certain information may be required to enter into or perform a contract, process invoices, coordinate requested services, or comply with applicable legal obligations.

15. Children’s Privacy

Our website and services are intended for businesses and professional users and are not directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 years of age. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

16. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, professional profiles, or social media platforms.

Once you follow an external link, the privacy practices of the relevant third party apply. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of independent third-party websites or platforms.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technical systems, service providers, processing practices, or applicable law.

The updated version will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
