1. Data controller

Handaxavvm, registered at Zuidas Avenue 65, 1082 MD Amsterdam, Netherlands, acts as the controller for personal data collected through this website and associated communications.

2. Categories of personal data

We process identification data (name, organisation), contact data (email address, phone number when provided), and contextual information contained in messages. Technical data such as IP address and browser metadata may be processed for security and analytics.

3. Legal bases for processing

Processing relies on consent (newsletter enrolment, contact form submissions), legitimate interest (site analytics, security monitoring), and contractual necessity (replying to enquiries and maintaining correspondences).

4. Data sources

Data is obtained directly from users who submit forms or correspond with Handaxavvm. Supplementary contextual data may originate from public registers when essential to verify organisational affiliations.

5. Purposes of processing

Personal data enables us to respond to enquiries, distribute requested updates, maintain subscription lists, enhance site usability, and safeguard services against misuse.

6. Analytics and cookies

We use privacy-aware analytics tools focusing on aggregated patterns. Cookies are described in detail within the Cookie Policy, including purposes, durations, and opt-out options.

7. Data retention

Correspondence records are retained for up to three years after the final interaction unless legal requirements mandate longer retention. Analytics logs are kept for 14 months and then deleted or anonymised.

8. Data sharing

Handaxavvm does not sell personal data. Limited sharing occurs with service providers offering secure hosting, email delivery, and analytics tooling. These partners operate under data processing agreements aligning with EU standards.

9. International transfers

Where service providers operate outside the European Economic Area, transfers rely on adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure equivalent protection.

10. Security measures

We employ encryption, access controls, and audit trails to protect data. Internal policies govern who can access personal data and under which circumstances.

11. Individual rights

Individuals may request access, rectification, deletion, restriction, or portability of their data. Requests should be directed to [email protected]. We respond within one month.

12. Withdrawal of consent

When processing relies on consent, individuals can withdraw it at any time by contacting us. Withdrawal does not affect processing performed before the withdrawal.

13. Complaints

Individuals may lodge complaints with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) if they believe their rights have been infringed.

14. Policy updates

We review this policy annually or when significant changes occur. Updates are posted on this page with a new effective date.
