This Privacy Policy describes how your personal data is collected, used, and protected when you visit and interact with this website. We take the privacy of our visitors seriously and are committed to handling any personal data you share with us with care, and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Dutch data protection law. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data.
1. Who we are
This website is operated by Audians, a trade name of AIEO, a sole proprietorship established in the Netherlands. AIEO acts as the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy. This means that we determine the purposes and means of processing the personal data you provide through this website.
If you have any questions, requests, or concerns regarding this Privacy Policy or the way your personal data is handled, you can contact us at any time by email at contact@audiansmarketing.com. We aim to respond to all privacy-related enquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
2. What personal data we collect
We collect only the personal data that you voluntarily provide to us through the contact form on this website. Specifically, this includes your name, your email address, and the content of any message you choose to send us. We do not collect any additional personal data through this website, and we do not gather information about you from other sources.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of sixteen. If you believe that we may have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us so that we can remove it.
3. Why we use your personal data
We process the personal data you provide for a single, clearly defined purpose: to receive, read, and respond to the message or enquiry you have submitted, and to carry out any follow-up communication that naturally results from it. We do not use your personal data for advertising or marketing purposes, we do not build profiles based on it, and we do not sell, rent, or otherwise share it with third parties for their own commercial purposes.
4. Legal basis for processing
Under the GDPR, we are required to have a valid legal basis for processing your personal data. We rely on the following bases. First, your consent, which you provide freely at the moment you complete and submit the contact form. Second, our legitimate interest in being able to respond to enquiries about our services and to communicate with people who reach out to us. Where we rely on consent, you are entitled to withdraw that consent at any time, as described below.
5. Who has access to your personal data
To operate this website and its contact form, we make use of a limited number of third-party service providers who process personal data strictly on our behalf and under our instructions. This website, including the contact form, is built and hosted on Framer. When you submit a message, it is delivered to and stored within our email provider's systems. These providers act as data processors, meaning they are only permitted to process your data for the purpose of delivering their service to us, and are not allowed to use it for their own purposes. We do not transfer your personal data to any other parties.
6. How long we keep your personal data
We retain the personal data you provide only for as long as is necessary to handle your enquiry and any related follow-up communication, and no longer than is reasonably required for that purpose. Once your data is no longer needed, it will be deleted. You may also request deletion of your data at an earlier point, as described in the section on your rights.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, to request that inaccurate data be corrected, and to request that your data be deleted. You also have the right to object to or request restriction of certain processing, and, where we rely on your consent, to withdraw that consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@audiansmarketing.com.
If you believe that we have not handled your personal data properly, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), which is the supervisory authority for data protection in the Netherlands.
8. Cookies
This website does not use tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies. Any cookies that may be present are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly and do not track your activity across websites.
9. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the way we operate or in applicable legal requirements. Any changes will be published on this page, and the "last updated" date at the top will be revised accordingly. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your personal data.
