Privacy & cookies

I’m keeping this simple. This privacy policy explains what information I collect when you use my website and what I do with it. I’ve written this in plain language because nobody enjoys reading legal jargon.

What I collect

Not much, honestly. I’m committed to collecting as little information as possible:

  • Basic usage data: When you visit my site, I automatically receive your IP address and some basic info about your browser and device. This helps me understand how people use my site and fix problems.
  • Contact information: If you reach out to me through my contact form or subscribe to updates, I’ll collect your email address and any other details you choose to provide.

That’s it! I don’t ask for your life story.

What I do with your information

I only use your information to:

  • Make my website work properly
  • Respond to your messages
  • Send you updates (but only if you’ve asked for them)
  • Improve my website
  • Comply with laws I have to follow

Your rights (they’re important!)

Since I’m based in Europe, you have solid rights under the GDPR:

  • Access: You can ask what information I have about you.
  • Correction: If something’s wrong, tell me and I’ll fix it.
  • Deletion: Want me to forget you? Just ask.
  • Restriction: You can ask me to stop using your data temporarily.
  • Objection: You can tell me to stop using your data for specific purposes.
  • Data portability: You can ask for a copy of your data in a common format.

To exercise any of these rights, just email me at info@rubenvanderlaan.com

Data retention

I keep your information only as long as necessary. For contact requests, that’s typically until I’ve resolved your query.

Updates to this policy

If I make significant changes to this policy, I’ll put a notice on my website.
