Introduction

We ask that you read this privacy notice carefully as it contains important information on who we are, how and why we collect, store, use and share personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information and on how to contact us and supervisory authorities in the event you have a complaint.

1. Who we are

Go-Models International Limited trading as go-models collects, uses and is responsible for certain personal information about you. When we do so we are regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation which applies across the European Union (including in the United Kingdom) and we are responsible as ‘controller’ of that personal information for the purposes of those laws. We use a website hosting operator to host the website, but we still remain responsible for your personal information as the host is only a data processor.

2. The personal information we collect and use

2.1 Information collected by us and how we use it

We collect the following personal information when you provide it to us (the website does not automatically collect the personal information):

If we have your consent, we may use your personal data to make suggestions and recommendations to you about other services that may be of interest to you.

We do not knowingly collect any special categories of personal data about you (such as details about your religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership or information about your health and genetic) other than your photos which may disclose your race or ethnicity. We do not collect any information about criminal convictions and offenses.

Please note that while, in order to upload your profile we collect, store and process basic biometric data that you submit to us including (but not limited to) weight, size, dress-size, hair and eye color, this will not include any biometric data that is considered special category data under current data protection laws (i.e. biometric data resulting from specific technical processing which allow or confirm the unique identification of that natural person, such as facial images or fingerprint data).

How do we use cookies?

A number of our pages use cookies to remember:
