We, Slow Dating Ltd (registered in England company number 04853880) (âus/we/ourâ) are the âdata controllerâ, meaning that we are company that is responsible for the collection, processing and storage of your data when you use our services.
As a large organization, we have a number of subsidiary and sister companies within our business group, that operate some of our sites on our behalf or provide services to us to enable us to provide the Services to you. For data protection purposes, these companies are considered data processors subject to data processing agreements with us, and we remain the controller with responsibility for your data. For more details, please see Section 6B of this Policy.
We value our usersâ privacy, and comply with all applicable data privacy laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate including the General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679); the UKâs Data Protection Act 2018; the Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive 2002/58/EC (as updated by Directive 2009/136/EC) and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (SI 2003/2426) as amended, collectively the âData Lawsâ. The specific law that will apply to you and your data may be determined by the location in which you live, or in which we are based. Any reference to âpersonal dataâ within this Policy has the meaning ascribed to it by the GDPR (or the UKâs Applied GDPR).
2A. LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING DATA
In accordance with the GDPR and the UKâs Data Protection Act, we are required to inform you of the lawful basis for processing your Personal Data. Our lawful basis for processing Personal Data is for the purposes of performing a contract to provide the Services to you, or steps prior to entering into a contract. Where this is not appropriate, we obtain the relevant consents from you and consent is the lawful basis. Where neither contract nor consent is appropriate, legitimate interests is the lawful basis. Our purpose for processing is described in detail in Section 5.
Data Laws give users a number of rights regarding any personal data that you have provided to us which you are free to exercise at any time, however, we apply the same standards to all users as we want to ensure that you have open access to your data and control over its use.
(a) Right to access personal data we hold about you
You can request a copy of the personal data that we hold about you, and we aim to respond within 14 to 30 days. To obtain a copy of your data, simply email our data protection team at [email protected] attaching a photo or scan of your photo ID (passport or driving license) and a utility bill (to provide proof of your address). We need to make sure you are who you claim to be when requesting copies of data, and once we have verified your identity we will email or post a copy of your data to you. Your identification documents will be viewed for the purpose of verifying your identity prior to us making any personal data disclosures to you, and the identification documents will not be stored for any period of time longer than necessary to do this, nor will they be used for any purpose whatsoever other than facilitating your request for access.

We want to make sure that data in our database is correct, so please contact us to make any amendments to our records by emailing [email protected]

It is ok to change your mind about what personal data you allow us to use and keep and what you do not want us to use or keep. You can amend your settings through your account at any time, or contact [email protected] We must advise you, however, that opting out of some personal data processing/storage will result in a loss of functionality of the services and a reduced user experience.
(d) Right to âbe forgottenâ / right of erasure
You have the right to have all of your personal data erased when you stop using the services and close your account. We may need to keep a record of some data for security purposes (for example to assist law enforcement agencies with any criminal investigations) or for payment processing (to prove to banks that we have been authorised to take payments from you if you pay to use the services). There is more information about how long we keep data for below in Section 9 of this Policy. To request erasure of all of your personal data, please contact [email protected]

By submitting your personal data to us, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and we enter into appropriate binding processor agreements with any such parties in compliance with Data Laws.
Generally speaking, we only store data for as long as it is necessary to provide products and Services to you and others, with information typically being held until you cancel your membership.
For data storage purposes however, our users are considered as either being:
(a) Active Users: this means you regularly log on to our Services and use the Services in any way;
(b) Inactive Users: this means that you have not cancelled your account, but you havenât logged in for 9 months or conducted any activity on our Services in that time;
(c) Cancelled: this means that you have followed our cancellation process and actively cancelled your account.
(a) Active Users
If you are an Active User we will store your data until you cancel your account.
(b) Inactive Users
If you are an Inactive User, you should be aware that we will continue to store your data until you cancel your account, and also continue to market to you. Even if you have not logged on for a few months, we still hope you will return to use the Services regularly and we want your information to be there for your convenience, so you should be aware that you will still appear in our search results for other users, and your profile will remain visible. The responsibility to change your preferences or cancel your account lies with you.
(c) Cancelled Users
If you are a Cancelled User, we will delete all of your data nine months after the date of cancellation. It is important that we retain your data for this short period after cancellation to ensure that we can answer any payment or other account related queries, or provide information to third parties in line with our disclosure provisions outlined in this policy, e.g. assisting police investigations. Even after you remove information from your profile or delete your account, copies of this information may still be viewable and/or accessed on the Internet to the extent such information has been previously shared with others, copied or stored by other users, or to the extent such information has been shared with search engines. We cannot control this, nor do we accept any liability for this. If you have given third party applications or websites access to your personal information, they may retain such information to the extent permitted under their terms of service or privacy policies.
(d) Storage of activity data
Whilst we retain your Personal Data, Sensitive Personal Data and Anonymous Data as outlined at (a) to (c) above, there are some features of our Services that we store data in respect of, for different periods of time. For example, messages are only stored for thirty days, likes and other similar activities are stored for ten days. All other profile and activity information, including photographs, block lists, search histories etc., are stored until nine months after your account is cancelled.
(e) Banned and terminated users
If your account is ever terminated by us, you are detected as a potential or actual scammer, or a potential or otherwise threat to our business or our users, your email address will be retained on our internal blacklist for as long as we deem necessary to protect the business and its users.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Site; any transmission is at your own risk. We take reasonable administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to safeguard and protect your information from unauthorised access or disclosure. This includes using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts the personal information you input, and storing your information in encrypted form behind a firewall designed to block access from outside our network. Although we use commercially reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your information, transmissions on the Internet cannot be made absolutely secure. Moreover, we cannot assure you that your personal information that we collect will not be used or disclosed inconsistently with this Privacy Policy. We assume no responsibility or liability for disclosure of any of your information due to errors in transmission, unauthorised third-party access, or other causes beyond our reasonable control.
We recommend and encourage you (and all our members) to think carefully about the information they disclose about themselves.
Do not put email addresses, URLs, instant messaging details, phone numbers, full names or addresses, credit card details, national identity numbers, driversâ license details, and other sensitive information, which is open to abuse and misuse in your profile.
Please be careful about posting sensitive details about yourself on your profile such as your religious denomination and health details. While you may voluntarily provide this information to us when you create your profile, including your sexual preferences and ethnic background, there is no requirement to do so.
Please remember that photographs or any video clips that you post on the Website may reveal these kinds of sensitive personal data. Where you do upload and choose to tell us sensitive information about yourself, you are explicitly consenting to our processing your information and making this public to other users.
When you post information about yourself or use the messaging service, the amount of personal information you share is at your own risk. In addition, these postings may appear on other websites or in searches on the subject matter of your posting. If you post anything that is inconsistent with our terms, we reserve the right to terminate your account.
