2. Data We Collect and Why

2.1 Contact form

When you use the contact form, we collect your name, email address, type of service of interest, and the message you send. These data are used solely to respond to your enquiry and, if applicable, to manage the resulting professional relationship. They are not shared with third parties. Data are retained for up to 3 years from the last contact.

Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6.1.b (pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6.1.f (legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry).

2.2 Waiting lists (expeditions and photographs)

If you join a waiting list, we collect your email address and, optionally, your preferences (expedition type, destination of interest). These data are used solely to notify you when the expedition or photograph you are interested in becomes available. You may unsubscribe at any time by writing to info@newworldphasmids.com. Data are deleted when the relevant campaign ends or upon your request.

Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6.1.a (explicit consent via double opt-in confirmation).

2.3 Testimonials

If you submit a testimonial through the specific form, we collect the data you voluntarily provide (name, company, role, optional email, testimonial text and satisfaction rating). These are used to improve our services and, if you authorise publication, to display your testimonial on the website.

Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6.1.a (consent) for publication; GDPR Art. 6.1.f (legitimate interest) for internal use.

Legal basis: GDPR Art. 6.1.f (legitimate interest in website traffic analysis with no privacy impact). No third-party analytical cookies are used.

This website is hosted by Loading.es (Spain), subject to the GDPR as an EU company. Server access data (IPs, technical logs) are processed by the provider as a data processor under a confidentiality agreement.

6. Data Recipients

Your data are not sold or shared with third parties for commercial purposes. The only third party that may access data in the context of this website is the hosting provider (Loading.es), acting as a data processor. Data may be disclosed to competent authorities where required by law.

7. Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to access your personal data, rectify inaccurate data, request erasure, object to processing, request restriction of processing, and obtain data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@newworldphasmids.com.
