Aardstroom
Privacy
We sell data protection competence. It would be embarrassing to run a tracking farm on our own website, so we do not.
This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and makes no request to any third party. Fonts are served from this domain rather than from Google. There is no contact form. There is nothing here asking for your consent, because there is nothing to consent to.
Who is responsible
Aardstroom B.V. (i.o.), represented during incorporation by Thomas Thijs. Postal address and company details are on the imprint. For anything on this page, write to thomas@aardstroom.com.
What happens when you visit this page
The site is served from a virtual private server operated by Hostinger in the European Union. Like any web server, it records the technical details needed to deliver a page and to keep the service secure: your IP address, the page requested, the time, the referring page if any, and your browser's user agent string. Those logs are held for a short period and are not linked to anything else, not used to build a profile, and not shared for any other purpose.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functioning website.
What happens when you email us
Mail to thomas@aardstroom.com is received by Hostinger and forwarded to a Google mailbox, where we read and answer it. Your address, your message and any attachment are processed for the purpose of answering you and, where it leads somewhere, for the business relationship that follows.
Legal basis: Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for steps taken at your request before entering into a contract, and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for general correspondence.
We keep correspondence for as long as it is needed for the relationship, and afterwards only for as long as a statutory retention period requires. Please do not send special category data, client evidence or anything confidential by ordinary email. If you need a secure channel for that, ask and we will arrange one before you send anything.
Who processes data on our behalf
| Provider | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Hostinger International Ltd | The virtual private server this site runs on and its server logs, plus the domain, DNS and inbound mail for aardstroom.com | European Union |
| Google Ireland Ltd | The mailbox where forwarded correspondence is read | European Union, with transfers to Google LLC |
Each acts as a processor under a data processing agreement. Where a provider transfers personal data outside the European Economic Area, that transfer relies on the transfer mechanism in the provider's own terms, being standard contractual clauses or the EU United States Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified under it.

Your rights
Under the GDPR you may ask us for access to the personal data we hold about you, and for its rectification or erasure. You may ask us to restrict processing, you may object to processing based on legitimate interest, and you may ask for a copy of data you provided in a portable form.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the country where you live or work.
