We at Olive Oil Network GMBH (“we,” “us,” “our”) value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit or interact with the Olive Oil Network and Future of Olive Oil websites (“the Sites”). By using our Sites, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue using the Sites.

1. Who we are

Olive Oil Network GMBH is based in Switzerland. We comply with relevant data protection laws, such as the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (“FADP”), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and, where applicable, the UK GDPR.

2. What data we collect

Information from Cookies and Similar Tools
- We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to gather data about how you use our Sites (e.g. IP address, browsing habits, device type). This helps us improve services, analyse traffic, and personalise your experience.

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data for purposes such as:

Providing Services: Answering your questions, sending information you request, and managing any subscriptions you choose to receive.
Communications: Sending newsletters, updates, and important service messages.
Site Improvement: Monitoring how our Sites are used, fixing problems, improving content, and enhancing functionality.
Legal Obligations: Meeting any legal or regulatory requirements.

4. Legal basis for processing

Where required by law (e.g. under the GDPR or UK GDPR), we rely on at least one of the following legal grounds to process your data:

Your Consent (e.g. for email marketing)
Performance of a Contract (e.g. when you request certain services)
Legal Obligation (e.g. compliance with financial or data protection laws)
Legitimate Interests (e.g. improving the security or functionality of the Sites)

5. Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it only when needed, for instance:

Business Changes: If we undergo a merger, acquisition, or other transaction, your data may transfer as part of that process.

6. International transfers

We are based in Switzerland but work with people around the world. This means your data may be transferred across borders, including outside the UK, EEA, or Switzerland. Whenever we transfer personal data internationally, we use safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) to ensure protection in line with legal requirements.

7. Data storage and security

We retain your data as long as needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. We implement technical and organisational measures to help protect against unauthorised access, but no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have rights such as:

Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction: Ask us to fix inaccuracies in your personal data.
Deletion: Request that we erase your personal data if there is no valid reason to keep it.

9. Cookies & similar technologies

We use cookies and similar tools to improve your experience and track website performance. You can choose to refuse or remove cookies by adjusting your browser settings, though parts of the Sites may no longer function properly without them.
