This is the Privacy Policy of Digitalique (hereinafter referred to as "Digitalique", "we," "us," or "our"), a company based in Amsterdam.
Definitions
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information in relation to our website https://digitalique.nl (the "Website"). We collect this information when you visit our Website with your computer, tablet, phone, or smartwatch ("Device"). We process personal data in a manner consistent with the General Data Protection Regulation, including the implementation act of this regulation, or the preceding 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 all others who have access to 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, view, use, share, or download your public User Content.
What kind of data do we collect?
We collect personal data that you provide to us. Personal data is information about an identified or identifiable natural person. This may include the following data:
- Username, password, and email address when you register for a Digitalique account
- Profile information you provide through your account
- Communication between you and Digitalique (we may send you service-related emails)
Log File Information
We only collect information that your browser sends when you visit our Website when it is necessary for the proper functioning of the Website. By the proper functioning of the Website, we primarily mean protecting the Website against actions that could endanger the security of the Website and your Device. This log file may contain information such as your IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Website you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on these pages, and other statistics.
Metadata
Metadata is usually technical data associated with User Content. For example, metadata can 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 (marking keywords when you post a photo), a geotag (marking a location in a photo), comments, or other data. This makes User Content more easily searchable for others and more interactive.
Analytical Services
We use third-party analytical services. These help us measure our traffic and trends on the Website. The tools collect information sent by your Device, our Website, the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that helps us improve our Website. These tools use "cookies." These are simple text files that are stored on your hard drive or in your Device's memory. Cookies cannot damage your Device or the files on it. Cookies anonymously collect information about your log information and log behavior. We use this information together with information from other Users, which makes it impossible for us to identify you as an individual. We use Google Analytics for our analytical services. Google Analytics installs a permanent cookie in your web browser to identify you. This shares your data with Google. We only share data with Google that we are permitted to share under the GDPR. You can completely prevent Google Analytics from recognizing you by disabling cookies in your browser.
Digitalique uses remarketing services to advertise on third-party websites after you have visited our Website. We, and third parties we work with, use cookies to optimize the advertisements shown based on your previous visits.
With your consent, we use the following remarketing services:
