Analytics — Umami

This site uses Umami, a self-hosted, privacy-first analytics tool, to understand roughly how many people visit the site and which pages they look at. Umami does not use cookies, does not collect any personally identifiable information, and does not track visitors across other websites. Because no cookies are placed and no personal data is processed, this doesn't require your consent under the Telecommunicatiewet — but we're disclosing it here regardless, since that's what Dutch guidance on website analytics recommends.

Contact

If you email or call using the details on this site, we process whatever information you choose to share (e.g. your email address, name, and the contents of your message) solely to respond to you. This data isn't stored on the website itself — it just goes to our regular email inbox / phone — and we don't use it for anything beyond handling your enquiry. We keep correspondence only as long as is reasonably needed to deal with it, or as required by applicable retention rules (e.g. for anything that becomes part of an invoice or contract).

Cookies

This site does not set any cookies of its own. The only cookies that may be placed come from third-party content embedded on a project page (for example, a YouTube video) if you choose to interact with it — those are governed by that provider's own policy, not ours.

Your rights

Under the GDPR/AVG, you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how it's used, and to receive a copy in a portable format. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details above. If you're not satisfied with how we handle your data, you can also file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Changes

We may update this statement if what the site does changes (e.g. adding a contact form or a new third-party service). The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
