Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to the MeatProcessing website. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after and process your personal data when you visit our website (regardless of where you visit it from), especially when you use our contact form or subscribe to potential newsletters, as well as about your privacy rights and how the law protects you (including the Law on Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Serbia and relevant GDPR principles).

1. Data We Collect

We may collect, use, store, and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped together as follows:

• Identity Data: includes first name, last name, username or similar identifier.
• Contact Data: includes email address and phone numbers you provided via the contact form or direct communication.
• Technical Data: includes internet protocol (IP) address, your login data, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, browser plug-in types and versions, operating system and platform, and other technology on the devices you use to access this website (collected via cookies or analytics).
• Usage Data: includes information about how you use our website, products, and services.
• Marketing and Communications Data: includes your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences.

We do not collect any Special Categories of Personal Data about you (this includes details about your race or ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, information about your health, and genetic and biometric data).

2. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances:

• Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you (e.g., providing consulting services).
• Where it is necessary for MeatProcessing's legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests (e.g., improving the website and MeatProcessing services, responding to inquiries).
• Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
• Where you have given us consent to do so (e.g., sending newsletters).

Purposes for Which We Will Use Your Personal Data

We use the collected data primarily to respond to your inquiries via the contact form, to improve the functionality and user experience of our website through analytics (if used), and, with your explicit consent, to send you relevant news or promotional materials. We process data based on legitimate interest (website operation, inquiry response) and consent (marketing).

3. Sharing Your Personal Data

We generally do not share your personal data with third parties, except potentially with trusted IT service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics) who process data on our behalf under strict confidentiality agreements, or if required by law. We do not sell your personal data. If data transfer outside Serbia/EEA occurs, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

4. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed.

These measures include technical safeguards like secure servers and access controls, as well as organizational procedures to limit data access to authorized personnel only.

5. Data Retention

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements.

The retention period depends on the type of data and the purpose of processing. For example, contact form data is kept until the inquiry is resolved, while analytics data might be kept for a longer period in an aggregated, anonymized form.

6. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to access, correct, erase, restrict processing, data portability, and the right to object.

In accordance with the Law on Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Serbia, you can request access to your data, rectification of inaccurate data, deletion of data (under certain conditions), restriction of processing, object to processing based on legitimate interest, and request data portability (where applicable). To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided below.

7. Cookies

Our website may use necessary cookies for basic functionality. We may also use analytical cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) to understand website traffic and improve user experience, and potentially marketing cookies for targeted advertising, but only with your explicit consent obtained via a cookie banner or settings. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool (if implemented).
