1. Introduction and Data Controller
Welcome to Lou Mahz!
Your privacy is paramount to us. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, and protect the very limited personal data you share with us.
For the purpose of data protection laws, including the GDPR, the Data Controller is Lou Mahz (or [Insert Legal Business Name]), and we are responsible for your data. By engaging with our website or services, you agree to the terms outlined here.
2. Information We Collect
We are committed to data minimization and only collect email addresses that you voluntarily provide when:
You contact us via our website or email.
You subscribe to our newsletter or updates.
You fill out a form on our website.
We do not collect any other personal information such as names, phone numbers, addresses, or payment details.
3. How We Use Your Information and Legal Basis
We use your email address solely for the purposes listed below, based on the following legal grounds for processing:
| Purpose of Use | Legal Basis |
| To send you updates, newsletters, or promotional offers. | Consent: You explicitly opted-in to receive these communications. You can withdraw this consent at any time. |
| To respond to your inquiries or requests. | Legitimate Interest or Contract: It is necessary to process your request to fulfill our interest in responding to client communications or taking steps prior to entering a contract. |

4. Data Storage, Security, and Transfers
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect your email information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Your data is stored securely on reputable third-party service providers, such as our email service provider (e.g., Mailchimp, Constant Contact) and website hosting provider. These service providers are contractually obligated to comply with strict data protection regulations.
As we use global service providers, your information may be transferred to and stored in countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Where this occurs, we ensure a similar degree of protection by ensuring the transfer is protected by appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).
5. Retention of Information
We retain your email address only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described above or until you exercise your right to erasure (deletion).
6. Your Data Rights
You have the right to control your personal data. Under GDPR and other applicable laws, you have the right to:
Access: Request a copy of the email addresses we hold about you.
Rectification: Request correction of any inaccurate data.
Erasure (The Right to be Forgotten): Request deletion of your email address from our records (unless we have a legal obligation to retain it).
Object or Restrict Processing: Object to or ask us to restrict the processing of your data.
Withdraw Consent: Unsubscribe from our mailing list at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” link in our emails.
To exercise any of these rights (except unsubscribing), please contact us using the details in Section 10. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe your rights are being infringed.
