Sharing data

We don’t share personal data with third parties. However, we do use user data to for example make reports for commercial needs. These reports are general in nature and are never about individual users. We aren’t even capable of tracking individual users, and we don’t have the ambition to do so. In the end we want to know for example how many people read our website and how often they do that.

How long do we keep data?

When users leave a message, that message can potentially be stored forever. However, users can delete their own message and when needed – based on request (robert AT nederob DOT nl) we can remove comments for you.

Where do we send your data?

Comments can be scanned by bots. But we don’t actively send individual user data anywhere.
