2. Personal data we process

We may process personal data when you:

• contact us through the contact form on our website;
• contact us directly by email or telephone;
• visit our website and consent to analytics cookies.

Depending on how you contact us, this may include your name, company name, email address, telephone number, the contents of your message and any other information you choose to provide.

When you consent to analytics, technical and usage information may also be processed, such as your IP address, browser and device information, referring page, pages visited and the date and time of your visit.

Please do not send sensitive personal data through our contact form unless this is necessary and has been agreed with us in advance.

3. Why we process personal data

We process personal data to:

• respond to enquiries and contact requests;
• discuss and prepare possible projects or collaborations;
• provide our services and communicate with clients and business contacts;
• administer our business and meet legal obligations;
• understand how visitors use our website and improve its content and performance, where consent has been given.

4. Legal bases

Depending on the situation, we process personal data because:

• you have given your consent;
• processing is necessary to respond to your request or to take steps before entering into an agreement;
• processing is necessary to perform an agreement;
• processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation;
• we have a legitimate interest in conducting, securing and improving our business and communicating with clients and business contacts.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

5. Contact form, email and telephone

When you contact us, we use the information you provide to answer your enquiry and, where relevant, to discuss a possible project or collaboration.

Contact details and correspondence are not used for unrelated advertising purposes without an appropriate legal basis.

6. Website analytics and Statcounter

We use Statcounter to understand how our website is visited and used. Statcounter is only activated after you consent to statistics cookies through our cookie banner.

Analytics information may include your IP address, browser and device information, referring website, pages visited and visit times. We use this information to evaluate website traffic and improve our website.

You can refuse or withdraw consent through the cookie settings on our website. Further information about the cookies used is available in our Cookie Policy.

For more information about Statcounter’s processing of personal data, see:

7. Cookies

Our website uses functional cookies that are necessary for the website and cookie-consent mechanism to work. Statistics cookies are only placed after you give permission.

Detailed information about the cookies, their purposes and retention periods is available in our Cookie Policy. You can change or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings on our website.

8. Service providers

We may use trusted service providers for website hosting, email, website maintenance, security and analytics. These providers may process personal data on our behalf only where this is necessary to provide their services.

Our website and email services are hosted or supported by STRATO. Statcounter provides analytics services after consent has been given.

Where required, we enter into appropriate data-processing arrangements with service providers and take reasonable measures to protect personal data.

9. International transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, we take appropriate measures to ensure that personal data receives a level of protection consistent with applicable data-protection law, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards.

10. How long we retain personal data

We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

As a general rule:

• enquiries that do not lead to a project may be retained for up to two years after the last contact;
• correspondence and information relating to a client project may be retained for the duration of the relationship and afterwards where necessary for administration, legal claims or professional records;
• financial and administrative records are retained for the period required by Dutch law;
• cookie retention periods are listed in our Cookie Policy.

We may retain information for longer where this is necessary to meet a legal obligation or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

11. Sharing personal data

We do not sell personal data.

We only share personal data where necessary:

• with service providers acting on our behalf;
• with professional advisers where required;
• to comply with a legal obligation or lawful request;
• to protect our rights or those of others;
• with another party where you have instructed or authorised us to do so.

12. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

13. Your rights

Subject to the conditions of applicable data-protection law, you may have the right to:

• request access to your personal data;
• request correction of inaccurate personal data;
• request deletion of your personal data;
• request restriction of processing;
