Who I am
This is the personal portfolio of Karsten van Vooren, based in Beveren, Belgium. I'm responsible for the personal data collected through this site. Questions about your data? Email karstenvanvooren@gmail.com.
What I collect
Contact form
When you send a message, I receive your name, email address and message. I use them only to reply to you. They're never sold or shared for marketing. The form is processed and stored by my hosting provider, Netlify (see below).
I keep messages as long as needed to handle your question or application, and delete them at the latest 12 months after our last contact.
Hosting
This site is hosted by Netlify, Inc. Like any web server, it processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and keep the site secure. See Netlify's privacy policy.
Analytics
I use GoatCounter to see which pages are visited. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't store your IP address and doesn't track you across sites; it only counts page views. See GoatCounter's privacy policy.
Embedded video
Some case studies embed a demo video from Vimeo. It loads with Vimeo's "do not track" setting, so Vimeo doesn't set tracking cookies, but like any website it does receive your IP address when the video loads. See Vimeo's privacy policy.
Cookies
This site doesn't use tracking or advertising cookies, so there's no cookie banner. Your browser may store small technical preferences, but nothing that identifies you.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- see which personal data I have about you;
- have it corrected or deleted;
- object to or restrict how I use it.
Email me and I'll respond within a month. If you think I handle your data incorrectly, you can also file a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (dataprotectionauthority.be).
