Definitions
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect data in relation to our website https://digitalique.nl (the "Website"). We collect this data when you visit our Website using your computer, tablet, phone, or smartwatch ("Computer"). We process personal data in a manner that complies with the General Data Protection Regulation, including the implementing law of this regulation, or the previous legislation of the Personal Data Protection Act and any future amendments (the "GDPR"), the Telecommunications Act, and other currently applicable privacy legislation.
Our Privacy Policy applies to all visitors, users, and anyone else who accesses the Website ("Users"). By using our Website, you understand and agree that Digitalique provides a platform for posting content, including photos, comments, and other materials ("User Content"). This means that other Users can search for your public User Content and view, use, share, or download it.
What kind of data do we collect?
We collect personal data that you provide to us. Personal data refers to information about an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes the following data:
- Username, password, and email address when you register for a Digitalique account
- Profile information you provide through your account
- Communication between Digitalique and you (we may send you service-related emails)

We only collect information that your browser sends when you visit our Website when this is necessary for the Website to function properly.

This log file may contain information such as your IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time you spend on these pages, and other statistics.
Metadata
Metadata is usually technical data associated with User Content. For example, metadata may describe how, when, and by whom a piece of User Content was collected and how that Content is formatted. Users can add metadata to their User Content by adding a hashtag (tagging keywords when posting a photo), geotag (tagging the location on a photo), comments, or other data. This makes User Content easier for others to search and more interactive.
