Privacy Policy

Sea Me Happy, with registered address Hessenstraatje 1C/001, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium, and company number BE0716.799.415, is the data controller responsible for the personal data described in this policy. For any privacy-related question, contact us at customer-care@seamehappy.be.

What personal data do we collect?

Sea Me Happy processes your personal data when you use our services and/or provide it to us directly: for example, when submitting a question through our contact form.

We collect:

  • First and last name
  • E-mail address
  • Information about your activity on our website
  • IP address
  • Internet browser and device type

Why do we collect this data, and on what legal basis?

  • Answering your question via the contact form, and following up with you on the same subject:
    Name, e-mail address
  • Legitimate interest / necessary to respond to your request (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
    Sending our newsletter
    Name, e-mail address
    Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), withdrawable at any time
  • Analyzing website behavior to improve our site (via Google Analytics)
    Website activity, IP address, browser/device type
    Consent, obtained via our cookie banner

Newsletter data is only used once you’ve given permission. Every newsletter includes a link to unsubscribe and withdraw consent at any time.

Google Analytics may involve transferring data to Google servers outside the European Economic Area (e.g. the US). Where this occurs, it’s covered by Google’s Data Processing Amendment and safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Analytics cookies are only placed after you consent via our cookie banner.
Security

Sea Me Happy takes the protection of your data seriously and applies appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent misuse, loss, unauthorized access, unwanted disclosure, and unauthorized modification. Questions or comments about our security practices can go to customer-care@seamehappy.be.

Data retention and storage

We don’t store your personal data longer than strictly necessary for the purpose it was collected:

  • Contact form enquiries: retained for 12 months after resolution
  • Newsletter data: retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent
  • Analytics data: retained for 14 months
  • Job application data: see “Job Applications” below

Your rights

  • Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate personal data
  • Erase your personal data (“right to be forgotten”)
  • Restrict the processing of your personal data
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interest, including for direct marketing
  • Data portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
  • Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal

To exercise any of these rights, contact customer-care@seamehappy.be. We will respond within one month of receipt (extendable by two further months for complex requests, with reasons given for the delay).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian supervisory authority:

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file automatically stored on your device when you visit a website that uses cookies. Most websites use them: for example, to remember your preferences so you don’t need to set them again on your next visit.

We only place strictly necessary/functional cookies automatically, since these are required for the website to work. All other cookies: including analytics cookies (e.g. Google Analytics): are only placed after you give explicit, specific consent via our cookie banner.

You can:

  • Accept or reject each category of non-essential cookie individually
  • Withdraw your consent at any time by clicking here
  • Find full details of each cookie we use: purpose, provider and retention period here

We do not use cookie walls: declining non-essential cookies will not block your access to our website.

Cookies from third parties

For third-party cookies (placed by a provider other than Sea Me Happy):

  • We have no control over these cookies
  • They’re governed by that provider’s own privacy policy
  • Data is stored on that provider’s servers, and may be shared with third parties if required by law, without our influence

Job Applications

Personal data obtained through job applications (name, e-mail, CV) submitted by e-mail or form is retained for the duration of the (open) application process, and deleted once it concludes, unless you separately consent to us keeping it for future opportunities.
