If sharing your personal data becomes necessary for the purposes of providing our services to you, we will only share it where appropriate safeguards are in place, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (“IDTA”) or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (“SCCs”) with supplementary measures, to ensure your personal data is protected to the same standard expected under the GDPR.
We may, on occasion, engage the services of a third-party sub-processor. Any such third party will act under our written instructions and will adhere to strict data protection obligations, including the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures which meet the processing requirements of the GDPR.
We also use a third party for hosting infrastructure, website performance and management, error monitoring, support and other functionality. The written contract in place between us and this third party provides for the maintenance of confidentiality, security, and integrity of the information we share with them.
Our website includes links to social media platforms and messaging services (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, ‘X’ (formerly Twitter)). Once you navigate away from our site via one of the links, the site may collect your IP address and may set a cookie on your device. When you use one of these links, you are sharing information to another website or service and this Notice will no longer apply. Please read the privacy notices provided by the particular service website you are directed to, before posting any personal information using these links.
Your rights
The GDPR provides you with certain rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, including to:
Request access to personal data about you (a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are processing it lawfully.
Request rectification, correction, or updating of any personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
Request personal data provided by you to be transferred in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
Request erasure of personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
Request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you (e.g., if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it).
Object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This right may apply where the processing of your personal data is based on the legitimate interests of SleekFlow.
Some of these rights are not absolute and are subject to various conditions under applicable data protection and privacy legislation, laws, and regulations to which we are subject. If at any time you decide that you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, or if you would like to exercise any of your rights as set out above, you can contact us at legal.compliance@sleekflow.io. You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
In addition to the above, please note that you have the right to make a complaint at any time to the relevant supervisory authority within the UK and EEA if you are concerned about the way in which we are handling your personal data.
Data retention
We will retain your personal data for as long as is necessary to provide you with our products and ongoing services and for a reasonable period thereafter, to enable us to meet our contractual and legal obligations and to deal with complaints and claims.
At the end of the retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted in accordance with our Personal Data Retention Policy.

Due to the nature of our personal data processing, we are required by law to appoint a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”). We have therefore appointed Evalian Limited as our DPO, details as follows:
