Who we are

Our website address is: https://www.digizaal.nl. We are Digizaal, a web development company specializing in managing and protecting the data of our clients and their servers. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect personal information in relation to our website.

What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It

Client Data

We collect and process client information strictly for administrational purposes, to provide our services, manage client projects, and ensure smooth operation. Any data we process for our clients (such as server data) is done at their request and under their direction. We do not use or share this data beyond providing the requested services.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, including the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be found here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture (if applicable) may be visible to the public.

Media

If you upload images to our website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website can download and extract this data from the images.

Contact Forms

When you fill out contact forms on our website, we collect your submitted information solely to respond to your inquiries and manage any follow-up communications.

Cookies

Comment Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you don’t have to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

Login Cookies

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days; screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logout will remove login cookies.

Post-Editing Cookies

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply stores the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if the visitor has visited that other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including tracking your interactions if you are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We may use analytics services to monitor and analyze traffic and user behavior on our website. These services help us improve the website’s performance and user experience, but no personally identifiable information is processed for analytics purposes.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share any personal data with third parties unless required for legal or administrational purposes, such as to comply with legal obligations or to ensure the security of our services. Data collected for comments or interactions on the website may be shared with automated spam detection services.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except for their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where We Send Your Data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How We Protect Your Data

We use a combination of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the personal data collected on our website and servers. These measures include data encryption, secure login protocols, and regular security assessments.

What Data Breach Procedures We Have In Place

In the event of a data breach, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by law. We will also take immediate steps to contain and remedy the breach to prevent further unauthorized access to data.

What Third Parties We Receive Data From

We may receive data from third-party services integrated into our website (e.g., Gravatar for profile pictures). We do not process this data beyond what is required for the functionality of our website.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not perform any automated decision-making or profiling based on user data.

Industry Regulatory Disclosure Requirements

We comply with relevant data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable, and other industry standards. Any legal or regulatory obligations will be met in accordance with applicable
