Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd. GDPR
Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd. is an online community that provides users a place to create an online profile for themselves, their love for meat related activities including bbq, smoking, cooking, and recipe creation, etc. All members of our community have full control over their profile and the information they share. Our profiles have a privacy option so members can privatize and hide their profiles from other members, groups, and forums.
Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd. will not sell or trade our members information; financial, personal or professional. Our members information is kept secure on our hosting servers until a member deletes their profile or a profile has been slated for deletion due to vacancy.
Scope of this Privacy Statement and our role
Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd responsibly leverages technology to unite classic car and hot rod enthusiasts around the world. We believe that everyone has a right to privacy. As a global community, we’re providing this Global Privacy Statement (“Privacy Statement”) to explain how we, Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd (collectively “Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collect, use, share, or otherwise process information that we collect through our member services and product sales. These services include, as applicable, our websites, mobile applications, social media pages, marketing activities, and other activities described in this Privacy Statement (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Statement is global, meaning it applies to all Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd services. We may provide additional or supplemental privacy statements for certain products or services.
This Privacy Statement describes our privacy practices when we process:
- Personal information for the purposes of providing the benefits of our websites and the Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd platform, which includes all of Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd’s services, sites, experiences and software (including through our mobile applications and desktop applications) (the “Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd Platform”); and
- Personal information as necessary to manage, run, improve, and develop our business and personalize your experience while interacting with the Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd Platform. Depending on your settings, this may include showing you personalized ads or recommending certain Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd products based on your interests.
Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd determines the purposes and means of the processing of your personal information as described in this Privacy Statement, and therefore acts as a ‘data controller’ (or equivalent/similar terms under applicable data privacy laws) of such information. We may share your personal information within the Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd group of companies and conduct processing activities as controllers or joint controllers for the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement.
In certain circumstances, there may be more than one data controller processing your personal information. For example, a financial partner may also act as a data controller. In these situations, we act as an independent data controller over our processing activities. This means we determine how your personal information will be processed independently from the other data controllers. The other data controllers have their own obligations under applicable data privacy laws. Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd is not responsible for other data controllers’ processing activities, and you should contact them directly for questions about how they process your personal information and about how to exercise your privacy rights in relation to such processing.
If you have any questions about how Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd processes your personal information, please see How to contact us below.
The Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd Platform and your personal information
When we say “platform,” we mean that when you choose to share data with us, or enter your personal information, Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd uses that data together, not just within the individual offering(s) you’re using. This means that, for example, we may use your personal information to display specific content that may appeal to you based on purchase or browsing history. The personal information we use in this centralized way may relate to you as an end user of our Services or as a customer or vendor of an Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd customer whose personal information has been included in the Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd Platform.
Business Account Information
Some experiences and services within the Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd Platform allow you to interact with a business. If you are granted access to contacting a business account, the business owner or a designated administrator may control and administer details of your account, for example, by deciding your access rights; making decisions about your personal information; or requiring you to take certain actions. If the owner or designated administrator changes your access rights, then you may lose access to the information the business controls.
Your use of the Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd Platform as part of a business account may be subject to the business’s policies, which may differ from this Privacy Statement. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of other businesses not on our platform, and you should consider both the business’s policies and whether you are comfortable giving the business access to your personal information before connecting to their services.
Personal Information We Collect
The personal information that we collect or otherwise receive about you depends on the context of your interactions with Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd, how you configure your account, and the choices you make while adding information to your profile, including your privacy settings.

Verification
To help protect privacy and the security of your personal information, you may be asked to provide additional information to verify your identity and/or ownership rights before we can fulfill your data rights request. If we cannot verify your identity or your ownership rights to the data, we may not be able to service your request until you provide proper documentation.
Data retention
Unless you specifically ask us to delete your personal information, we retain your personal information as long as it is necessary to comply with our data retention requirements and provide you with services and the benefits of the Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd platform and successfully run our business. Even if you submit a deletion request, we may be required to maintain your personal information for as long as necessary to:
- comply with our legal or regulatory compliance needs (e.g., maintaining records of transactions you have made with us);

- to protect against fraudulent or abusive activity on our service.
This means we may keep different information for different periods. If your account is canceled because you haven’t used it for a long time, we may delete this information immediately.
There may be occasions where we are unable to fully delete, anonymize, or de-identify your personal information due to technical, legal, regulatory compliance, or other operational reasons.

International data transfers
Unless you have provided us with consent to transfer your personal information, it will be stored in Canada in accordance with applicable law.
With the exception noted above, Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd reserves the right to store and process your personal information in Canada and in any other country where Global Meat Lovers Community Ltd or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers operate facilities in accordance with and as permitted by applicable laws and regulations. Some of these countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective).
When we transfer, store or process personal information outside of your jurisdiction (including to or in Canada, as described above), we take appropriate safeguards to require that your personal information remain protected in accordance with this Privacy Statement and applicable law.
Some of these recipients of your personal information are located in countries for which the European Commission the UK (and Gibraltar) Government, and the Swiss Government (as and where applicable) have issued adequacy decisions, which means that these countries are recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection under applicable UK (and Gibraltar), European, and Swiss data protection laws and the transfer is therefore permitted under Article 45 of the GDPR.
Other recipients of your personal information are located in countries outside the EEA and/or the UK that are not the subject of an adequacy decision. In these cases, we may use the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or, as may be applicable, the International Data Transfer Agreement approved by the UK Government, to help ensure your personal information is protected. For more information on the transfer safeguards we rely on, please contact us by using the details in the “How to contact us” section below.
Security of your personal information
We use reasonable physical, technical and organizational safeguards that are designed to protect your personal information. However, despite these controls, we cannot completely ensure or warrant the security of your personal information.
