We collect personal data in the following situations:
- When you contact us. If you email us or submit a form, we receive the contents of your message and any contact information you provide (typically name, email address, and any context you choose to share about your business).
- When you visit the website. Our hosting provider processes standard server logs (IP address, user agent, referrer, requested URL, timestamp) for the purpose of operating the site securely and reliably. These logs are retained briefly and not used to profile you.
- If you become a client. We may process additional information necessary to deliver our services and meet our legal obligations, for example invoicing details and access credentials for platforms you ask us to manage on your behalf.
3. Why we use it (lawful basis)

4. How long we keep it
We keep personal data only as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it for, plus any retention period required by law. Enquiry emails are typically kept for up to 24 months unless they become part of an ongoing client relationship. Invoicing and tax records are retained for the period required by Dutch accounting law (currently 7 years).
