Galooli Data Deletion Procedure (Per Client Request)
This document outlines Galooli's official procedure for processing client-initiated data deletion requests. It supports our commitment to data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance, as an ISO 27001-certified and GDPR-compliant organization. The procedure ensures that all requests are handled lawfully and transparently, defines the data types involved, specifies approval requirements, and details the irreversible nature of data deletion across all Galooli platforms and services. This policy applies to all private client data managed by Galooli’s systems and serves as a guide for both internal teams and client representatives.
Commitment to Data Privacy and Security
As an ISO 27001-certified and GDPR-compliant company, Galooli treats data privacy and information security with the utmost seriousness. Acting as a data processor on behalf of its clients, Galooli ensures that all personal and business-related data is handled lawfully, fairly, and transparently.
Galooli employs robust security controls, including encryption, identity-based access restrictions, and regular internal and external audits, aligned with ISO 27001 and industry best practices. For further information, please refer to the Privacy, Security, Backup, and Recovery documentation.
Galooli’s Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum provide further details on our data protection framework and the types of information we process.
Purpose and Scope
This document defines the procedure by which Galooli processes client-initiated requests for data deletion.
Galooli distinguishes between two categories of data:
Data Type | Description |
---|---|
Customer Data | Operational and business data provided or collected during service usage |
Personal Data | Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person |
This document applies to all private data handled by Galooli on behalf of its clients across all its SaaS platforms and cloud-based infrastructure.
Requesting Data Deletion
Upon filing a termination request clients may also request deletion of Personal Data associated with their organization (see Appendix below). Requests must:
Be submitted in writing through the assigned Account Executive
Be jointly approved by two senior client representatives, including one Regional Manager or equivalent
Be digitally signed using a legally recognized e-signature platform
Include confirmation of understanding and acceptance of the implications outlined in Section 5 below.
Galooli’s Accounts team will validate and confirm all deletion parameters with the client. For high-volume or sensitive deletions, a pre-execution review may be conducted with Galooli’s Account Teams and/or Legal Counsel.
Financial and Business-Critical Personal Data
Personal data required for invoicing, payment processing, tax compliance, legal obligations, or essential client communications (e.g., billing contact details, contract history, correspondence) is excluded from the default deletion policy.
This data is retained to comply with legal, regulatory, and contractual obligations and will not be deleted unless both Galooli and the client provide explicit written consent, regardless of the data’s age.
Deletion Process and Irreversibility
5.1 Once approved and confirmed:
All deletions are permanent and irreversible. Deleted data cannot be recovered under any
circumstances and will not be accessible through any platform, including though not limited to
Galooli’s web application, mobile app, or any associated service interface.Data will be permanently deleted from:
Galooli’s hosted cloud infrastructure, regardless of location or service provider
Any local or archived backups, whether physical or virtual
All internal systems, integrations, and authorized third-party services
5.2 Deleted data will no longer be available for:
Dashboard access or export
Historical reports or analytics
Any Galooli product and/or service, including internal reuse
5.3 Prior to execution, Galooli will inform the authorized individuals who submitted the deletion request of the planned deletion date.
5.4 A three (3) business day cooling-off period will follow this notification. During this period:
The client has the right to submit a written request to Galooli to cancel the deletion request
The cancellation request will only be considered valid if Galooli confirms receipt and grants explicit written approval. Any cancellation request that is not explicitly approved in writing by Galooli will be considered invalid and non-binding
The cooling-off period will last up to three business days from the date of notification and will not exceed 72 hours in total.
Galooli will not execute the deletion until the cooling-off period has concluded.
5.5 Galooli will provide the client with a formal deletion confirmation within one week of the data deletion, verifying that the request has been fully executed.
5.6 Clients acknowledge and waive any future claims related to deleted data, which is permanently
inaccessible. Galooli shall not be held liable for any consequence arising from such deletion.
