Privacy statement

Section 01

Introduction

DevAware (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy and is required under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to inform you transparently about how we process your personal data.

This privacy statement describes what data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have.

Section 02

Data controller

Questions about your personal data? Get in touch at info@devaware.nl.

Section 03

Two roles

This statement covers data we process as a controller: visitors to this website, people who get in touch, and people who book a call.

When we work on an engagement for a client, we are usually a processor and the client is the controller. For those processing activities we conclude a data processing agreement per engagement, and the terms of that agreement apply rather than this statement. If you are an employee of a client and have questions about your data, please contact your own employer.

Section 04

What data we collect

Contact form. When you complete our contact form we collect your name, email address and your message. We use this to answer your question and to get back to you.

Calendly bookings. When you book a slot through our Calendly link (calendly.com/tdoesburg-devaware/30min) the following is collected: name, email address, phone number (optional), and calendar details such as date and time. This data is processed by Calendly and used for appointment management and reminders.

LinkedIn API. DevAware uses the LinkedIn Member Data Portability API to retrieve profile data, connection data and activity data, with the user’s consent. This data is used solely for internal analysis and activity records within DevAware. Only Taylen Doesburg, as owner of DevAware, has access to it. No external staff or partners are granted access unless this statement is updated. You can request deletion at any time via info@devaware.nl. Use of LinkedIn services is also subject to LinkedIn’s own privacy policy.

Server logs. Our web server automatically records your IP address, browser and device details, the pages you visit, and the date and time of visits. This is used for security and maintenance purposes.

Cookies. We use no analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) and no tracking cookies. We may use functional cookies for session data and security. These are essential to the proper working of the website.

Section 05

Legal basis for processing

Section 06

Who we share your data with

Your personal data is shared only with the following external services, and only where necessary.

We do not sell or rent your data to third parties.

Section 07

Transfers outside the EEA

Some of the services we use are provided by parties established outside the European Economic Area, in particular in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on the mechanisms set out below, as permitted under Chapter V of the GDPR.

A stricter rule applies to client engagements: personal data we process on a client’s behalf stays within the EU, including the language models used. See the data processing agreement concluded per engagement.

Section 08

How long we keep your data

Once the retention period has passed, your data is deleted, unless we are required to keep it for legal or statutory purposes.

Section 09

Your rights under the GDPR

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Access. You can ask us what data we hold about you.
• Rectification. You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure. You can ask us to delete your data, subject to certain conditions.
• Restriction. You can ask us to restrict processing of your data.
• Portability. You can request your data in a common format for transfer to another service.
• Objection. You can object to certain ways in which we process your data.
• Automated decision-making. DevAware does not use automated profiling or automated decision-making.

To exercise a right, email info@devaware.nl stating clearly which right you wish to exercise, and include your name and email address. We respond within 30 days.

Section 10

Complaints and enforcement

If you have a complaint about how we handle your data, you can contact the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens), at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl, info@ap.nl, or Bezuidenhoutseweg 30, 2594 AV The Hague.

We would of course appreciate the chance to resolve your complaint first. Get in touch at info@devaware.nl.

Section 11

Security of your data

We take the security of your personal data seriously and apply appropriate technical and organisational measures:

• Encryption. Data transfer over HTTPS.
• Access control. Restricted to necessary personnel.
• Server security. Through Hostinger’s security infrastructure.
• Regular checks. Security updates and monitoring.

Despite these precautions we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use the internet with common sense.

Section 12

Links to external websites

This website may contain links to external websites such as Calendly and LinkedIn. This privacy statement applies only to devaware.eu. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

Section 13

Changes to this statement

We may amend this privacy statement from time to time to comply with regulation or to reflect changed practices. The “last updated” date at the top shows when we last revised it.

In the event of significant changes we will inform you by email, where an address is available.
