Last updated: January 2025
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under GDPR.
1. Who we are
Samla Hue is operated by Samla Hue (referred to as "we", "us", or "our"). We are based in Sweden, Sweden. If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at [email protected].
2. What data we collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, including:
• Directory listings: name, professional title, city, biography, website URL, and social media links submitted via the "Get Listed" form.
• Waitlist sign-ups: your email address.
• Contact and enquiry forms: your name, email address, and the content of your message.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health, financial, or identity document information).
3. How we use your data
We use the information we collect to:
• Display your profile in the Samla Hue directory (listings only, once approved).
• Notify you about your listing status or updates to the platform.
• Respond to your enquiries and messages.
• Send occasional updates to waitlist subscribers (you may unsubscribe at any time).
• Improve and maintain the platform.
4. Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
We process your personal data on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
• Consent: when you voluntarily submit a listing, join the waitlist, or contact us.
• Legitimate interests: to operate and improve the directory service.
• Legal obligation: where required by applicable Swedish or EU law.
5. Data sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform (such as hosting and email services), under strict data processing agreements. Approved listing information is displayed publicly on the Samla Hue directory.
6. Data retention
We retain your data for as long as necessary to provide the service or as required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. Approved listings will be removed from the public directory upon request.
7. Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
8. Cookies
We use only essential cookies necessary for the platform to function. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. A cookie notice will be displayed if we introduce non-essential cookies in the future.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. International transfers
Your data is stored and processed within the European Economic Area (EEA). If we ever transfer data outside the EEA, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR.
11. Children's privacy
Samla Hue is not directed at children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on the platform. Continued use of Samla Hue after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
