Privacy Policy

1. When this policy applies

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled when you visit lisannevanniekerk.com, contact Lisanne van Niekerk directly, or choose to receive updates through the website.

It applies to website visitors, people who contact Lisanne, and people who join the mailing list.

2. Who is responsible for your data

The organisation responsible for the personal data described in this policy is:

BreathWorks
Registered in the Netherlands
Dorpsstraat 166
2903 LB Capelle a/d IJssel
KvK: 72979259

Lisanne van Niekerk operates this website and handles communications on behalf of the business.

For questions about privacy or your personal information, contact info@lisannevanniekerk.com.

3. What information is collected

The information collected depends on how you choose to interact with the website.

This may include:

• your first name;
• your email address;
• information you include in an email or other direct communication;
• limited technical information needed to operate and protect the website, such as IP address and server log information.

The website does not create customer accounts and does not collect payment information.

4. When you contact Lisanne

If you contact Lisanne by email, the information you provide is used to read your message, reply to you and manage any communication that follows.

Depending on the nature of the communication, the legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest in responding to people who make contact, or taking steps requested by you before entering into an agreement.

Information you send directly is not automatically added to the mailing list. Joining the mailing list is a separate choice.

5. When you ask to be kept posted

If you choose Keep me posted, your first name, if provided, and email address are used to send occasional updates about new workshops, gatherings and other experiences taking shape.

After submitting the form, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. You are added to the mailing list after you confirm your email address.

The legal basis for sending these updates is your consent.

Mailing-list information is managed using Mailchimp. A copy of the form submission is also stored temporarily within the website for operational and troubleshooting purposes.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in an email or by contacting info@lisannevanniekerk.com.

Unsubscribing does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdrew your consent.

6. Website hosting and technical information

This website is hosted by SiteGround.

As part of providing and protecting the website, limited technical information may be processed through hosting, security and server logs. This can include information such as IP address, browser or device information, request data and security-related records.

This information is used only where needed to provide, maintain and protect the website.

The website does not currently use Google Analytics or another analytics service to track visitor behaviour.

7. How long information is kept

Personal information is kept only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

Mailing list

If you join the mailing list, your subscription information is kept in Mailchimp while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, it will no longer be used to send you updates.

The separate copy of your website form submission is kept for up to 12 months and is then deleted.

Limited information may be retained where necessary to make sure an unsubscribe request continues to be respected.

Direct communication

Emails and related correspondence are retained for as long as reasonably needed to deal with the communication and any appropriate follow-up.

Where communication develops into a business relationship, some information may need to be kept for longer where this is necessary for administrative, contractual, tax or other legal obligations.

Technical information

Hosting and security records are retained only for the periods needed for website operation, security and legitimate administrative purposes.

8. Who processes information for us

Personal information is not sold and is not shared for advertising.

A small number of service providers process information where this is necessary to operate the website and mailing list.

SiteGround

SiteGround provides website hosting and associated technical and security services.

Mailchimp

Mailchimp processes mailing-list information on behalf of the business so that requested email updates can be managed and sent.

These providers may use their own subprocessors where necessary to provide their services.

9. International processing

The business responsible for this website is registered in the Netherlands. Lisanne is currently based in the United States and may access and respond to communications while working there.

Mailchimp is based in the United States and mailing-list data may therefore be transferred to, stored or processed in the United States.

Where personal information is processed outside the European Economic Area, appropriate data-protection safeguards are used where required under applicable data-protection law.

Mailchimp states that its European data-transfer arrangements include the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses incorporated into its Data Processing Addendum.

10. How your information is protected

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.

These include secure website connections, protected hosting, appropriate account security and limiting access to personal information to what is necessary.

11. Your privacy rights

Under the GDPR, you may have the right to:

• ask what personal information is held about you;
• request a copy of your personal information;
• ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
• request deletion of your personal information;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to certain processing;
• request data portability where applicable;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

These rights are subject to the conditions and exceptions set out in data-protection law.

To make a privacy request, contact info@lisannevanniekerk.com.

You will normally receive a response within one month. If it is reasonably necessary to confirm your identity before dealing with a request, additional information may be requested.

You also have the right to make a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

12. Cookies and tracking

This website does not currently use advertising, remarketing, social-media tracking or analytics cookies.

Strictly necessary technical cookies or similar technologies may be used where required for the secure and proper operation of the website.

If non-essential tracking or analytics technology is added in the future, this policy and the website's cookie settings will be updated accordingly.

13. Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the website, the way personal information is used, the service providers involved, or applicable legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on lisannevanniekerk.com with the date of the most recent update.
