What this site does with your data.

This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from a third-party server. Fonts and images are served from this domain. For as long as you are only reading, nothing about you is recorded.

One thing is kept on your device, and it is not a cookie: for the length of this visit your browser remembers that you have already seen the opening animation, so it does not replay on every page. That is a single word held in your own browser’s memory. It disappears the moment you close the tab, it says nothing about who you are, and it never leaves your device.

If you do send something — a message, or the form for the guide — other services come into it. Which ones, and what they see, is further down, with names and countries.

The contact terminal on the home page sends your name, your email address, the name of your business and your question to my mailbox. I use that to answer you and to prepare a quote. The basis is straightforward: you are asking me something, and I need those details to reply.

Your IP address is held in the server’s memory for about a minute while that happens, so nobody can put the form in a loop. I store it nowhere. My hosting provider does keep ordinary server logs — that one is listed below with the rest.

If you would rather book a call, the scheduling runs through Calendly; if you tap the WhatsApp button, you leave this site. Those are separate services with their own terms, and you only reach them by clicking through — nothing is sent before that.

The form for the guide runs on Tally and has one tick box, empty when you arrive. Ticking it asks for the guide to be sent to your email address. A series of five mails goes with it — what is in them and how to stop them is below. The guide itself reaches you either way, straight away on the thank-you page, without waiting for any mail.

You then enter a sequence of five mails over roughly four weeks, and after that the occasional mail about websites, pricing and automation for Flemish SMEs. The basis for that is your consent, and nothing else.

Every mail carries an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click, no explanation, no confirmation screen, no way back in. You can withdraw your consent at any moment and it costs you nothing — what was sent before that stays lawfully sent.

Unsubscribing does not make you vanish, and that is deliberate: the address stays on a blocklist. It is the only way I can guarantee you are not written to again by accident.

My mail system records whether a mail was opened and which link was clicked. I use that to see which subjects people find useful, not to follow you outside those mails.

Five services. They may use your data only to do what I ask of them, and for nothing of their own.

Tally BV (Ghent, Belgium) carries the form for the guide; submissions sit on servers inside the European Union. Brevo — Sendinblue SAS (Paris, France) — sends all mail, both your message from the contact terminal and the mail sequence, and holds the address list. Zapier Inc. (United States) moves a new submission from the form onto that list. Calendly LLC (United States) handles the calendar, and only if you book a call yourself. Vercel Inc. (United States) hosts this site and keeps ordinary server logs while doing so, including your IP address.

The three American services process data under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, and where that does not apply, under the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Beyond that nothing leaves: your data is not sold, not traded and not added to any advertising audience.

A message from the contact terminal: for as long as the conversation runs, and a year after that, so I know where we left off if you come back.

Your address on the mailing list: for as long as your consent stands. Every mail carries an unsubscribe link at the bottom — one click and the address is gone, no form, no question why.

If you become a client, your details are kept for as long as the working relationship lasts. Invoices and bookkeeping I keep for seven years, because Belgian law requires it of me.

Under the GDPR you can ask what I hold about you, have it corrected, have it deleted or have it handed over, you can have its use restricted, you can object, and you can withdraw your consent. Email me and it is done — no form, no process. I answer within the month, and in practice the same week.

If you think I am handling it badly, you can complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority: Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit, Drukpersstraat 35, 1000 Brussels — contact@apd-gba.be, +32 2 274 48 00. You do not have to raise it with me first, though I would rather hear it myself.

No decision about you is taken automatically: no scoring, no profiling, no algorithm deciding what you get to see or hear. One person reads your message and decides whether I work with you, and that person is me.
