Personal Information We Collect

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies installed on your device. We also collect information about the pages you view, what websites or search terms referred you to us, and how you interact with the site.

Information you provide to us

We may also collect personal data you provide voluntarily, such as your name, email address, telephone number, business name, and any other information you share when contacting us, signing up for our newsletter, or engaging our services.

Why We Process Your Data

Our priority is data security. We process only minimal user data — only as much as is necessary to maintain the website and provide our services. Device information collected automatically is used to identify potential abuse and gather statistical information about website usage. This data is not aggregated in a way that identifies any individual user.

You can visit our website without revealing any personally identifiable information. However, if you wish to use certain features, receive our newsletter, or contact us, you may need to provide personal data.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process your personal data on the following legal bases:

Contract: Where processing is necessary to fulfil a contract with you, or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as maintaining website security and improving our services.

Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose, such as receiving our newsletter.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Our retention periods are:

Device information and website analytics: 26 months from collection

Newsletter and marketing data: Until you unsubscribe, plus 30 days

Enquiry and correspondence data (no contract): 2 years from last contact

Client contract and service data: 7 years after the contract ends

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the GDPR:

The right to be informed — to know how your data is being used

The right of access — to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you

The right to rectification — to have inaccurate data corrected

The right to erasure — to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances

The right to restrict processing — to limit how we use your data

The right to data portability — to receive your data in a portable format

Information for US Residents

If you are a resident of the United States, this section provides additional information relevant to you.

As an EU-based business, we process your personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means you benefit from strong privacy protections, which generally meet or exceed US state privacy law requirements.

While we do not currently meet the thresholds requiring compliance with laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), we are committed to treating all clients' data with the same high standard of care.

We:

Do not sell your personal information to third parties

Do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising

Will respond to requests regarding access, correction, or deletion of your data, regardless of which state you reside in

If you have questions about your privacy rights, please contact us at [email protected].

International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA), including to the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, where our service providers may be located. Where we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to enhance your browsing experience. For detailed information, please see our separate Cookie Policy.

Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites not owned or controlled by us. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of each website that may collect personal information.

Information Security

We secure your information on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Legal Disclosure

We will disclose information we collect if required or permitted by law, such as to comply with a court order, and when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.

Complaints

If you have concerns about our use of your personal data, please contact us first so we can try to resolve them. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch supervisory authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl or by calling +31 (0)70 888 8500.
