Who
This site belongs to Gaston Consulting, the one-person business of Pieter Deramoudt in Ghent, Belgium. Company and VAT number: BE 1044.852.623. Questions about your data: pieter@gastonconsulting.be.
What I measure
I count how many people view a page and which buttons they click. I do that on the basis of my legitimate interest in knowing whether the site is being read.
The measurement runs through PostHog, on European servers in Frankfurt. PostHog sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser and makes no visitor profiles or screen recordings. To count visits, it turns your IP address and your type of browser into a code on its servers, using a key that changes every day and is deleted afterwards. That way I can count visits without following visitors across different days. The figures are kept for one year at most.
What you send me
I use an email or a question sent through the form only to reply to you. That is necessary to respond to your question before a possible collaboration. I do not use your data for newsletters or advertising.
If we do not end up working together, I delete your message after about a year, or straight away if you ask. If we do work together, I keep what is needed for the assignment and for my bookkeeping.
Who is involved
The site is hosted by Cloudflare, my email by Combell and the visitor statistics by PostHog. They only process what is needed to deliver their service. Cloudflare works with a global network; technical data about your visit may therefore be processed outside Europe, under the safeguards that privacy law requires for that. Apart from those services I do not pass your data on to anyone.
What you can ask
You can view your data, have it corrected or have it deleted. You can also ask me to temporarily stop using it, and object to the counting of your visit. To do so, email pieter@gastonconsulting.be. If you do not agree with my reply, you can turn to the Belgian Data Protection Authority.
