FotoFanatic.nl, operated by Freek van den Driesschen, respects your privacy and handles personal data with care.
What we collect
Contact details: name, email address and message when you use the contact or request form or send an email.
Order details: name, address and billing information when you place an order or request a license.
What we do not collect
This website does not use analytics, tracking tools or marketing cookies. No visitor statistics or behavioural tracking systems are used. Fonts and all other files are served from our own server; no third-party services are loaded when you visit the site.
Why we collect it
To answer your requests and inquiries.
To communicate about print orders or licensing requests.
To meet legal obligations (for example invoices and accounting).
Legal basis
We process your details to answer your message or request and to prepare and carry out an agreement with you (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), and to meet legal obligations such as bookkeeping (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).
How data is handled
Messages sent through the forms are transmitted directly as email to the website owner. The website itself does not store personal data in a database. To protect the forms against abuse, the server briefly stores an encrypted code derived from your IP address. It is not used to identify you, is never combined with your message and is deleted automatically after one hour (legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
How long we keep it
Messages and requests are kept only as long as needed to handle them. Invoices and proof of purchase are kept for seven years, as required by Dutch tax law.
Embedded videos
Some journal posts contain YouTube videos. These are only loaded when you click play, using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. From that moment, YouTube (Google) processes data under its own privacy policy.
Who we share it with
Personal data is not sold or shared with third parties. Technical providers such as the website hosting provider or email provider may temporarily process data as part of the operation of the website and email services. When you pay by credit card or bank transfer, the payment provider or bank involved processes the payment details needed for the transaction.
Prints via Werk aan de Muur
The shop link leads to Werk aan de Muur, a separate service. Orders placed there are handled by Werk aan de Muur under its own privacy policy.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your data at any time by emailing info@fotofanatic.nl. You may also file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority if you believe that your data is not handled properly.
