By using this Website, you consent to this Privacy Policy. This policy applies only to our online activities on this Website and does not cover information collected offline or through other channels.

Contact
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us at olivier@websitechefs.co.

Information we collect

  • Details you submit via our contact form, such as name, email address, phone number, company name, and your message and any files you attach.

  • Technical information your browser sends for security and delivery, such as IP address and user agent.

We do not use analytics, advertising cookies, or other tracking technologies on this Website.

How we use your information

  • To respond to inquiries and provide quotes or information you request.

  • To operate, secure, and improve the Website, including spam prevention and uptime.

  • To process payments and maintain records when you become a customer.

  • To comply with legal obligations, such as tax and bookkeeping.

  • For marketing email only if you have opted in. You can withdraw consent at any time.

Payments with Stripe
We use Stripe to process payments for our services, for example subscriptions. We send you a Stripe payment link. Payment data such as card or IBAN details is entered on Stripe pages, not on this Website. We receive limited billing information from Stripe and we do not receive or store full card numbers or full bank details. Stripe processes payment data to perform the contract and prevent fraud. See the Stripe Privacy Policy at https://stripe.com/privacy.

Log files
Our hosting environment may create server logs when you visit this Website. Logged data can include IP address, browser type, internet service provider, date and time, referring and exit pages, and pages viewed. Logs are used for security, diagnostics, and administration and are not linked to directly identifiable information in this context.

Cookies and tracking
We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. If any strictly necessary cookies are used, they are only to deliver the Website.

Sharing and recipients
We share personal data only as needed to run this Website and handle your requests or payments, such as with hosting and infrastructure providers, our email delivery provider, and Stripe. These providers are bound by contracts to protect your data. We do not sell personal data.

International transfers
If a provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as European Union Standard Contractual Clauses and add measures where required.

Retention

  • Contact form inquiries are typically kept up to 24 months after our last interaction, or longer if needed to handle your request or legal claims.

  • Contract and billing records are kept as required by Dutch law, for example up to 7 years for tax purposes.

  • Server logs and security data are typically kept up to 12 months, unless needed longer for security or legal reasons.

Your rights
You can request access, rectification, erasure, or restriction of your personal data, object to processing, and where applicable receive a copy in a portable format. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw consent at any time. To exercise your rights, email olivier@websitechefs.co. You can also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority at https://www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/.

Automated decision making
We do not use personal data for automated decision making, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. No method of transmission or storage is fully secure.

Links to other sites
This Website may link to third party sites, including Stripe payment pages. Their privacy policies apply to their services.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We will post updates on this page and adjust the “Last updated” date.
