Stichting Marlin Yard is the data controller responsible for the processing of personal data described in this Privacy Policy.
This policy applies to www.marlinyard.com, where we present our business advisory activities, digital solutions, products, ventures, and collaboration opportunities. The foundation also operates www.marlinyard.org, which has its own separate privacy policy. For questions about privacy or personal data, you can contact us through this contact form.
2. Personal Data We Collect
When you contact us through our website, we may collect:
- Your first and last name.
- Your email address.
- Your telephone number or Telegram username, if provided.
- Your preferred contact method.
- The subject of your enquiry.
- The information you include in your message.
We may also process technical information necessary for website operation, security, and spam prevention, such as IP addresses and browser-related information. Please avoid including sensitive personal information in contact messages unless it is necessary.
3. Why We Process Personal Data
We process personal data to:
- Respond to enquiries and communicate with you.
- Discuss potential services, digital products, and collaborations.
- Take steps requested by you before entering into an agreement.
- Manage existing business or customer relationships.
- Maintain the security and proper functioning of our website.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
Depending on the circumstances, our legal basis under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may be your consent, the performance of a contract or pre-contractual steps, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interests. Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the impact on your privacy.
4. Contact Forms and Communications
Our website uses Forminator to provide contact forms. Information submitted through these forms is sent by email to our designated mailbox, which we manage using Microsoft Outlook. We have disabled Forminator’s storage of new contact form submissions in the WordPress database. Correspondence received through our mailbox may be retained as necessary to handle your enquiry, maintain relevant records, or meet legal obligations. If you choose telephone, WhatsApp, or Telegram as your preferred contact method, communication through those services may involve processing by their respective providers under their own privacy policies.
5. Website Security and Spam Prevention
We use Cloudflare Turnstile and form security measures to help protect our website against automated submissions, spam, and abuse. These security measures may involve the processing of technical information by relevant service providers.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for its operation, security, and functionality. At the date of this policy, we do not intentionally use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, or other visitor analytics services. If we introduce analytics, advertising, or other technologies in the future, we will review this policy and any applicable cookie consent requirements.
7. Sharing Personal Data
We do not sell personal data. We may share personal data with service providers where necessary for website hosting, email communication, website security, or other legitimate operational purposes. Such providers may process data on our behalf or, depending on the service, act as independent controllers. We may also disclose information when legally required.
8. International Data Transfers
Some technology and communication providers may process personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where applicable, we will seek to ensure that international transfers comply with GDPR requirements, including the use of appropriate safeguards.
9. How Long We Keep Personal Data
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required by law. Contact correspondence is reviewed in light of its purpose and relevance. Information relating to agreements, transactions, or legal obligations may be subject to different retention periods. Disabling WordPress form submission storage does not automatically delete email correspondence or previously stored submissions.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Under the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of your personal data.
- Request restriction of processing.
- Object to certain processing activities.
- Request data portability where applicable.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
These rights may be subject to legal conditions and exceptions. You may also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
