Lovely Greens operates from the Isle of Man, a Crown Dependency legally distinct from the United Kingdom.

The Isle of Man has its own data-protection regime, including GDPR-based rules applied through Manx legislation. Where the processing falls within the territorial scope of UK data-protection law, the applicable UK rules may also apply. The applicable law depends on the nature of the processing and the people concerned.

Lovely Greens may contain links to websites, products, services or social-media platforms operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for the privacy, security, content or practices of third-party websites. You should review the privacy policies of third parties before providing them with personal information.

International transfers

Some of our service providers may process personal information outside the Isle of Man or outside the jurisdiction in which you are located.

Where applicable data-protection law imposes requirements on international transfers, we will seek to use an appropriate transfer mechanism or other lawful basis for the transfer.

The Isle of Man has an adequacy relationship for certain international data transfers, but the applicable transfer rules depend on the particular processing and jurisdictions involved.

How long we keep information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security and record-keeping requirements.

Retention periods vary according to the type of information and the reason it is held.

Where information is no longer required, we will delete it or securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your data-protection rights

Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, you may have rights including:

  • the right to access personal information we hold about you;
  • the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
  • the right to request deletion of personal information in certain circumstances;
  • the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances;
  • the right to object to certain processing;

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to legal exceptions or conditions.

To exercise a right, contact us using the details provided above.

Isle of Man data-protection rights

Lovely Greens is operated from the Isle of Man and is subject to applicable Isle of Man data-protection law.

The Isle of Man has a GDPR-based data-protection framework, including the Data Protection (Application of GDPR) Order 2018.

Where that regime applies to our processing, individuals may have rights provided by the applicable Manx data-protection legislation, including rights relating to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability and withdrawal of consent where applicable.

Send requests through the Contact form.

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal information, please contact us first using our Contact Form so that we can try to resolve the matter. You also have the right to raise a concern with the Isle of Man Information Commissioner.

UK data-protection rights

The Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom for UK GDPR territorial-scope purposes.

However, UK data-protection law may apply to certain processing carried out by an organisation outside the UK where the relevant legal conditions are met, including certain processing relating to people in the UK.

If UK data-protection law applies to our processing of your personal information, you may have rights under the applicable UK GDPR and related UK legislation.

For information about the scope of the UK GDPR and applicable UK rights, see the guidance of the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.

California privacy rights

If you are a California resident and applicable California privacy law applies to our processing, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

Depending on the applicable law and circumstances, these may include rights to know/access, delete, correct, opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information, and limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.

California privacy rights are subject to statutory qualifications and exceptions.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Because advertising and analytics technologies may involve disclosures of information to third parties, we do not make a blanket statement that personal information is never “sold” or “shared” under California law.

Where applicable, we recognise legally required opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC).

To exercise applicable California rights, email us through the Contact form.

Global Privacy Control

Where required by applicable law, Lovely Greens recognises applicable universal opt-out mechanisms such as Global Privacy Control (GPC).

The effect of such a signal depends on the applicable law, the service involved and the type of processing.

Children

Lovely Greens is not directed specifically at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in circumstances where applicable law prohibits such collection without appropriate consent. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information improperly, please contact us.
