Privacy Policy

This policy has been compiled to clarify what happens with your information on this website. I personally consider transparency quite important, therefore I’ve abundantly compiled this document to give you a complete insight into what happens.

Don’t get scared of the text as it is a legal document because to help those without legal experience, I wrote a clear summary of the contents below. I’ve also tried to keep the legal parts clear and understanding.

In short:

  • Data I receive from you will be used for functional purposes.
  • I shall honour any request for deletion, insight or modification of personal data related to this website. You can use the contact form to request those rights.

Which information do I collect?

E-mail address

Whenever comment on my blog, or contact me through the contact page, your e-mail address and name are stored. The form sends an email with the information filled in. The information is stored for contact purposes. The e-mail address and name are solely used to give me or the website the ability to contact you regarding the contents of the contact occasion.

IP Address

Your IP address is only used for security-related features. Your IP address remains registered as long as you comment on the website. The security system also logs your IP address for one day for security purposes. If our system sees you as a malicious visitor, your IP address is stored for a year. Your IP address is also required to process establishing a connection and transfer data from the website to you.

Your Browser and its version are only stored in combination with your IP address, thus only whenever it is stored. This is for your security to confirm that not a third party is hijacking your session on my website.

Name

Upon contacting me or whenever you comment, the name used is stored. This is merely to allow me to address and/or identify you in the case for communication based on the comment or contact message. Or in the case of commenting, to give others this ability.

How do I store your information?

Comments and e-mails are stored in two separate databases. Databases which I personally ensured are only accessible to me by surrounding the database with highly secured protection layers.

Third parties

Some information, however, is exposed to third parties or in some rare and strict circumstances required to hand over to third parties. Below it is described how my website deals with this.
