Lawful Basis for Processing Personal Data

Under GDPR, we must have a lawful basis for each type of data processing that we carry out. For Flower Delivery Colindale, these are:

Performance of a Contract: Processing is necessary to fulfil your order, manage deliveries, and provide customer support.
Legal Obligation: Certain records must be retained or processed to comply with tax, accounting, and other regulatory requirements.
Legitimate Interests: We may process data for business analytics, service improvement, or to prevent fraud, provided that these interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

To maintain our business operations, including analytics and record-keeping.
To prevent misuse of our website or services, including fraud prevention.

Retention of Personal Data

We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Typically, this means:

Order and contact details are retained for up to 7 years to comply with accounting and legal requirements.
Technical and usage data may be kept for up to 24 months for analytics purposes, after which it is anonymized or deleted.
Communications with you (such as emails related to customer service) are retained for up to 3 years from the date of correspondence.

When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized so that you cannot be identified.
