Whose Personal Data Do We Process?
We may process personal data relating to visitors who use the website, people who contact us, and people who otherwise provide personal data to us in connection with the website.
Personal Data We Process
Depending on how you use the website, we may process the following categories of personal data:
- Name
- Email address
- Subject and contents of messages sent through the contact form
- IP address
- Technical information sent by your browser, such as browser type, device information and the time of a request
- Information required to protect the website against spam, abuse and security incidents
We do not ask you to provide special categories of personal data through the website. Please do not include sensitive personal information in a contact message unless it is strictly necessary.
Where Do We Obtain Personal Data From?
We normally obtain personal data directly from you, for example when you complete the contact form or send us an email.
Technical information, such as IP address and server request information, may be generated automatically when you use the website.
Why Do We Process Personal Data?
We process personal data only where there is a valid legal basis under the GDPR.
Responding to Contact Requests
Purpose: to receive, handle and respond to questions, comments or requests submitted through the contact form or by email.
Legal basis: legitimate interests and, where applicable, taking steps at the request of the individual before entering into a contract or performing a contract.
Website Security and Abuse Prevention
Purpose: to protect the website, detect misuse, prevent spam and investigate security incidents.
Legal basis: legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and reliable website.
Website Statistics and Improvement
Purpose: to understand how visitors use the website and to improve its content, functionality and performance.
Service: Google Analytics 4.
Legal basis: consent, where consent is required. Analytics storage is set to denied by default until the applicable consent status has been established.
Do You Have to Provide Personal Data?
You are generally not required to provide personal data simply to browse the website.
If you contact us, however, certain information may be necessary for us to respond. The contact form currently requests a name, email address, subject and message.
How Long Do We Keep Personal Data?
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law or is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Contact Requests
Contact messages and related contact details are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the enquiry and any resulting relationship, unless a longer period is required by law or is necessary for legal claims.
Server and Security Logs
Server and security logs may contain IP addresses and technical information. These logs are retained only for the period necessary for security, troubleshooting and incident investigation, after which they are deleted or anonymised where appropriate.
Who May Receive Personal Data?
We may use service providers that process personal data on our behalf. Depending on the services actually used by the website, these may include:
- Website hosting and server providers
- Website maintenance and technical support
- Email and contact-form service providers
- Security and anti-spam service providers
- Analytics providers, if analytics are used
- Third-party video providers, when you choose to play embedded video content
Where required, we enter into appropriate agreements with processors and require them to handle personal data confidentially and securely.
Embedded YouTube Videos
Some pages on Fietsroutes in beeld contain YouTube videos. Videos are presented using YouTube's privacy-enhanced embedding domain where this implementation is used.
When you choose to open and play an embedded YouTube video, your browser connects to YouTube and YouTube may process technical information associated with that request, including your IP address and information about the video request.
YouTube is operated by Google. YouTube's own privacy terms apply to processing carried out by YouTube after the connection to its service has been established.
Privacy-enhanced mode uses the domain youtube-nocookie.com. This reduces the use of YouTube-related data for personalisation, but it does not mean that YouTube performs no processing at all.
Google Analytics 4
The website contains a Google Analytics 4 tag associated with measurement ID G-FYV477436X. Its purpose is to provide information about the use of the website so that we can improve its content and functionality.
Analytics storage is set to denied by default. The website does not intentionally place the Google Analytics cookies _ga and _ga_FYV477436X when optional consent has not been given.
During the technical checks performed for this privacy statement, no Google Analytics measurement request to google-analytics.com/g/collect was observed after consent was given. The Analytics tag is nevertheless present on the website. If the Analytics configuration is changed so that active measurement takes place, this Privacy Policy and the consent configuration will be updated as needed.
Google may process technical information associated with analytics requests. Google may process data outside the European Economic Area subject to the safeguards applicable to its services.
Google AdSense and Advertising
The website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver, measure and personalise advertising, depending on the consent choices and settings that apply to the visitor.
During our technical checks, the website loaded Google advertising components including adsbygoogle.js and show_ads_impl_fy2021.js. After advertising consent was granted, Google-related advertising cookies including _gads, _gpi and _eoi were observed.
Advertising-related processing is controlled through Google Funding Choices and the applicable consent settings. We do not sell personal data ourselves.
Google may process advertising-related information outside the European Economic Area in accordance with the transfer mechanisms applicable to its services.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Fietsroutes in beeld uses Google Funding Choices to manage consent for optional cookies and related technologies. A consent cookie named FCCDCF was observed during testing. This cookie records information about the visitor's consent choices.
Necessary or functional cookies may be used where they are required for the operation, security or requested functionality of the website. Optional analytics and advertising technologies are subject to the applicable consent settings.
| Service / cookie | Purpose | Consent status observed | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Funding Choices / FCCDCF | Recording consent choices and supporting consent management. | Used for consent management. | Depends on the consent configuration. |
| Google Analytics 4 / _ga, _ga_FYV477436X | Website measurement and statistics. | Not present during testing after optional consent was refused. | Depends on the final Analytics configuration. |
| Google AdSense / _gads, _gpi, _eoi | Advertising and related measurement or personalisation. | Observed after advertising consent was granted. | Depends on Google's service and current configuration. |
Cookie names and retention periods can change when Google or the website configuration changes. The cookie inventory should therefore be checked periodically against the live website.
Transfers Outside the European Economic Area
Some service providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we use a transfer mechanism permitted by applicable data-protection law, such as an adequacy decision or appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable.
The exact countries, providers and transfer mechanisms depend on the services actually used by the website.
Your Privacy Rights
Subject to the conditions and exceptions provided by the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
- Request deletion of your personal data
- Request restriction of processing
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Request data portability where the legal requirements are met
You can exercise your rights by contacting us using the email address stated in the Controller section above.
We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request. We will not ask for more information than is reasonably necessary to verify your identity.
We normally respond to a valid request within one month. This period may be extended by up to two additional months where permitted by the GDPR, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. If an extension is necessary, we will inform you within the first month.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe that we process your personal data unlawfully, you may contact us first so that we can investigate your concern.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
Fietsroutes in beeld does not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects on individuals.
Children
The website is not specifically directed at children. We do not knowingly request children to provide personal data.
If you believe that we have received personal data from a child in circumstances where this should not have happened, please contact us.
Security
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access.
No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If you believe that your data is not properly secured, please contact us.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our processing activities or legal requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page, together with its effective or updated date.
