GDPR Compliance

Last Updated: August 13, 2026

Our Commitment to GDPR

While violet-wind operates primarily in South Africa, we respect the privacy rights of all individuals, including those protected under the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page outlines how we honor those principles.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data based on:

  • Consent: You provide explicit consent when submitting inquiries or service requests
  • Contractual necessity: Processing is required to fulfill photography services you have requested
  • Legitimate interests: Communication related to inquiries you initiated

Your GDPR Rights

If you are an EU resident or otherwise protected by GDPR, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You may request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of that data.

Right to Rectification

You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purposes collected or if you withdraw consent.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request limitation of processing in specific situations, such as when contesting data accuracy or objecting to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You may request transfer of your personal data to another service provider in a structured, commonly used format.

Right to Object

You may object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing conducted before withdrawal.

Data Protection Officer

For GDPR-related inquiries or to exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to verified requests within 30 days.

International Data Transfers

Personal data collected through this website is processed and stored in South Africa. We do not routinely transfer data outside of South Africa, but if such transfer becomes necessary, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable regulations.

Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling systems that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Supervisory Authority

If you believe we have not addressed your GDPR concerns adequately, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
