5. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:

6. Who we share your data with

We may share your personal data with the following categories of third parties:

  • Service providers: we use third-party service providers to facilitate our website and services, such as web hosting (One.com) and analytics (Google Analytics). These providers only have access to your personal data to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Analytics providers: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand website usage. Your data is processed by Google in an anonymized form where possible.

  • Advertising partners: we share data with third-party advertising partners to perform marketing services on our behalf.

    • LinkedIn: We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag to enable campaign reporting and gather aggregated insights about our website audience. This allows us to track conversions and retarget our website visitors with relevant advertising on the LinkedIn platform. LinkedIn does not share personal data with us, only aggregated reports.

    • Comply with a legal obligation.

7. International data transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

For example, data collected by Google Analytics and our advertising partners like LinkedIn may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data during such transfers, typically through the use of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or by relying on other valid transfer mechanisms under GDPR.

8. Data retention

We will retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your personal data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

As a data subject under GDPR, you have certain rights regarding your personal data:

  • The right to access: you have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification: you have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.

  • The right to withdraw consent: where we rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent.

If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@buildwind.net or through our Contact Us Page.

You can also manage your advertising preferences directly with our partners. For example, you can opt-out of LinkedIn’s targeted ads by visiting your LinkedIn settings.
