We also use this to optimize the functioning of the website.

Why do we collect your data?

We collect your personal data to maintain proper contact with you, to execute agreements, and to provide you with optimal services.

Disclosure to third parties

In the context of our services, Studio van Huys sometimes exchanges personal data. For example, we use services of third parties such as IT suppliers, our accounting software, our CMS system, marketing agencies, or contracted freelancers. These third parties may gain access to your personal data, but only for the purposes mentioned above.

We have clear agreements in place with all parties that have access to your data through data processing agreements. This ensures that your data is handled carefully. These third parties may only process your personal data for the aforementioned purposes.

In addition, we may share your data if Studio van Huys must comply with a legal obligation. Your data will never be provided to third parties for commercial purposes or charitable causes.
