In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us.

Personal data may be held in addition to these periods depending on individual business needs. Please contact us if you would like further details of our retention periods.

  • Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes. To stop receiving marketing communications from us or change your preferences please contact us on suze@skifloralie.com.
  • Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example, if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
  • Request the transfer of your personal information to another party in certain formats, if practicable.
  • Withdraw consent to processing at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data.
