This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use and protect your personal data when you use this website. We process data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Dutch law, including the implementation of the GDPR in the Netherlands.
Data controller
The data controller responsible for the processing described in this policy is the operator of this website, with address: Kitmanstraat 8, 1812 PP Alkmaar, Netherlands. For questions about your personal data, you can contact us using the details in the Contact section (email and telephone).
What data we collect and why
We may collect:
- Data you provide — when you send us a message via the contact form (e.g. name, email address, message content). We use this to respond to your enquiries and to provide the services you request. Legal basis: your consent and/or performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps.
- Cookie and usage data — if you have given consent via our cookie banner, we may use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising (including via Google Analytics and Google Ads). This may involve data such as IP address, device and browser information, and pages visited. We use this to improve the site and, where you have agreed, for advertising and measurement. Legal basis: your consent. You can withdraw consent at any time via our Cookie policy and "Cookie preferences".
Sharing and international transfers
We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with service providers who help us run the site (e.g. hosting) or, where you have consented to cookies, with providers such as Google for analytics and advertising. Google may process data in the United States or other countries. Where such transfers are made, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g. EU Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions). You can find more information in Google’s Privacy Policy.
Retention
We keep your data only as long as necessary for the purposes above (e.g. to answer your enquiry or to comply with legal obligations). Cookie-related data is kept in line with our Cookie policy and the policies of any third-party providers.
Your rights under the GDPR
If you are in the EEA or the Netherlands, you have the following rights:
- Access — you can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
- Erasure — you can ask us to delete your data in certain situations (e.g. where it is no longer necessary or you withdraw consent).
- Restriction — you can ask us to restrict processing in certain cases.
- Data portability — where processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, you can ask to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format.
- Object — you can object to processing based on legitimate interests or to processing for direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent — where we rely on your consent (e.g. for cookies), you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
- Lodge a complaint — you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. In the Netherlands, this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (Dutch Data Protection Authority). You can find their contact details and how to submit a complaint at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the Contact section. We will respond within the time limits set by the GDPR (generally one month).
Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse, in line with the GDPR.
