Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how meesdierdorp.com ("the site") collects, uses, and protects personal data submitted through the newsletter subscription form and any contact inquiries. The site is operated by Mees Dierdorp. By using the site you agree to the practices described below.

2. Data We Collect

We collect only the data you voluntarily provide:

  • Newsletter — your name and email address when you subscribe via the newsletter form.
  • Contact enquiries — your name, email address, and any message you submit through a contact form or direct email.

We do not collect any additional personal data, and we do not purchase or receive data from third parties.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • To send you occasional newsletter updates about new releases, shows, and announcements — only when you have subscribed.
  • To respond to contact and booking enquiries.

We will never sell, share, or rent your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Legal Basis (GDPR)

For EU/EEA visitors, we process your data under the following lawful bases as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — newsletter subscriptions, where you have actively opted in.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — responding to direct enquiries and booking requests.

5. Cookies

This site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies of any kind. No cookie consent banner is required.

The only browser storage used is a session-local cart state (if applicable) and a language preference — both stored in your browser's localStorage and never transmitted to a third party.

6. Data Retention

Newsletter subscriber data is retained for as long as you remain subscribed. Contact enquiry data is retained only as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, and no longer than 12 months. You may request deletion at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

Under the GDPR (and equivalent UK and national legislation) you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Request erasure of your data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter).
  • Lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at meesrecords@proton.me.

8. Third-Party Services

Newsletter submissions are transmitted via the Remixer Forms Service and stored in a managed database provided by DreamHost. No data is shared with advertising networks or analytics providers.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Material changes will be noted on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
