3.0 Use of Cookies


The Esstech Web site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.


One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize Esstech pages, or register with Esstech site or services, a cookie helps Esstech to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Esstech Web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Esstech features that you customized.


You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Esstech services or Web sites you visit.


4.0 Security of your Personal Information


Esstech secures your personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Esstech secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

This policy outlines the procedures for the collection, retention, and deletion of personal data, specifically email addresses, names, and food menu selections, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).


5.2 Data Collection and Storage


We collect email addresses, names, and food menu selections solely for the purpose of providing catering services and communicating with our customers. All data is securely stored in encrypted databases accessible only to authorized personnel. Access to this data is restricted to employees who require it to perform their duties.


5.3 Data Retention Period


Email addresses, names, and food menu selections will be retained only for the duration necessary to complete the intended purpose of providing menu services, unless a longer retention period is required by law or legitimate business needs. After the completion of service delivery or upon a customer's request for data deletion, the data will be promptly reviewed for deletion.


5.4 Retention Period for Different Data Types


Email addresses, names, and food menu selections will be retained for a maximum period of 36 months after the completion of the service, unless otherwise required by law or for legal purposes.


5.5 Data Deletion Process

Data will be securely deleted from all databases, backups, and related systems. A confirmation of data deletion will be provided to the data subject.


5.6 Rights of Data Subjects


Data subjects have the right to request access, rectification, or deletion of their personal data. Requests for data access or deletion will be processed within 90 days in compliance with GDPR requirements.


5.7 Training and Compliance


All employees handling personal data will receive training on GDPR compliance, data handling best practices, and the company's data retention and deletion policies.


5.8 Review and Updates


This policy will be reviewed [specify frequency, e.g., annually] to ensure alignment with GDPR regulations and any changes in business practices. Updates to the policy will be communicated to relevant stakeholders.


5.9 Legal Compliance


This policy adheres to GDPR guidelines regarding the collection, storage, retention, and deletion of personal data.


6.0 Data Deletion Request


The GDPR provides the right to an individual to request to have their personal data deleted when it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was obtained, known as the “right to erasure” or the “right to be forgotten”. Esstech have controls in place to ensure that we don’t collect or store personal data that we don’t need in order to provide you with your service. If you decide to cancel your account, we need to keep your personal data for a certain amount of time after cancellation for legitimate business purposes, for example, to allow us to review any menu changes you may have made to a student menu. We will automatically delete personal data when we no longer need it for the above reason. Because we don’t process any personal data that we don’t need, the right to erasure of personal data may not be applicable to your Esstech account. However, if you believe that Esstech may hold any personal data of yours that we don’t need, please let us know by submitting an email from the email address you have registered with us.
