Data protection
Dream Squircle takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Dream Squircle does not store personal data longer than is legally permitted and necessary for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. The storage period depends on the nature of the information and the purposes of processing. The maximum period may therefore vary per use.
Most personal data relating to the website will be deleted after a reasonable time. Thereafter, a part of the personal data may be stored only as long as such processing is required by law or is reasonably necessary for our legal obligations or legitimate interests such as legal proceedings, bookkeeping and internal reporting.

4. Your rights
Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal e-mail making this request is sufficient.
Withdrawing a consent may lead to fewer possibilities to use the services proposed on the website (registration to the newsletter mailing list). The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to file complaints with regulatory authorities
If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the person affected may file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities. In case website visitors consider our processing of personal data to be inconsistent with the applicable data protection laws, a complaint may be lodged with the local supervisory authority for data protection.
Right to data portability
Website visitors have the right to receive their personal data that they have provided to us in a structured and commonly used format (excel file) and to independently transmit those data to a third party. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
Rights to access, rectification, erasure and restriction of processing
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You can contact us at any time using the address given herein if you have further questions on the topic of personal data.
Website visitors have the right to have incorrect or incomplete personal data we have stored corrected or completed.
Website visitors may also ask us to erase their personal data from our systems. We will comply with such request unless we have a legitimate reason to not delete the data.
Right to object
Website visitors may object to the processing of personal data if such data is processed for other purposes than purposes necessary for the performance of services on the website or for compliance with a legal obligation. In case we do not have legitimate grounds to continue processing such personal data, we shall no longer process the personal data after your objection. We will not use your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
5. Data security
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive our newsletters, we require a valid e-mail address as well as information that allows us to verify that you agree to receive the newsletters.
You can revoke consent to the storage of your data and e-mail address as well as their use for sending the newsletters at any time, e.g. through the “unsubscribe” option in the e-mails sending the newsletters. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
6. Personal data recipients
