At FurniTalk (https://furnitalk.com), operated by XY INNOVATION CORPORATION, we are fully committed to complying with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

This GDPR Policy applies to the processing of personal data by:

"Personal Data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. Examples include your name, email address, IP address, and any user-generated content (such as reviews or comments).
We only process personal data when we have a legal basis to do so. The lawful bases under GDPR may include:
Consent (e.g., signing up for newsletters)
Contractual necessity (e.g., account registration)
Legal obligation (e.g., tax or anti-fraud compliance)
Legitimate interests (e.g., website analytics, fraud prevention)
As a data subject under GDPR, you have the following rights:
Right to Access – Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification – Correct inaccuracies in your personal data.
Right to Erasure – Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
Right to Restrict Processing – Ask us to limit how we use your data.
Right to Data Portability – Receive your data in a portable format.
Right to Object – Object to processing based on legitimate interest or direct marketing.
Right to Withdraw Consent – Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.

We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by law. Review content may remain publicly visible unless removed upon request or due to violation of our guidelines.
Your data may be transferred and stored outside the EEA, including in the United States. We ensure adequate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or verified data processing agreements, to protect your personal data.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption, firewalls, and secure access protocols. However, no system is completely immune to breaches, so we encourage users to follow best practices (e.g., strong passwords).
We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, email providers). Each of these processors is GDPR-compliant and subject to strict data protection obligations.
FurniTalk uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance user experience, analyze traffic, and personalize content. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser or our cookie consent banner. For more information, see our Cookie Policy.
If you believe your data rights have been violated, you may lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority (DPA) in the EEA. We encourage you to contact us first so we can resolve any issue quickly.
