Privacy Policy

 Last updated: 23/09/2025

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use our website, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Who we are

We are Founteyn, registered in the Netherlands. For GDPR purposes, we are the Data Controller. If you have questions about this policy or how we use your data, you can contact us at:

• Email: info@founteyn.com
  
• Address:  Gooimeer 13 1411DE Naarden, Noord Holland
  
• Phone: +3135 3690003
  

2. What information we collect

We collect personal data in two ways:

• Information you provide directly: such as your name, email address, and any other details you share when contacting us, subscribing to updates, or filling out a form.
  
• Information collected automatically: such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use our site. We also use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience.
  

3. Why we use your data (Legal bases)

We process your personal data on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: when you subscribe to our updates or agree to cookies.
  
• Contract: when we need your details to respond to an enquiry or provide a service you request.
  
• Legitimate interest: to improve our website, understand how it is used, and keep it secure.
  
• Legal obligation: where we are required by law to keep or share certain information.
  

4. How we use your data

We use your data to provide and improve our website, to respond to your questions or requests, to share updates with you (if you’ve asked us to), and to analyse how people use our site so we can make it better.

5. Sharing your data

We do not sell your data. We may share it with trusted service providers (such as IT, hosting, or analytics providers) who help us run our website. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also share data if required by law or public authorities.

6. International transfers

If your personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, we will ensure it is protected with appropriate safeguards, such as European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent legal protections.

7. How we protect your data

We use technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, or disclosure. While we take precautions, no system is completely secure, so please use the internet with care.

8. How long we keep your data

We will only keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. After that, your data will be securely deleted or anonymised.

9. Your rights under GDPR

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
  
• Ask us to correct or update your information.
  
• Request deletion of your data when it is no longer needed.
  
• Restrict or object to how we process your data.
  
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
  
• Ask for your data in a portable format so you can reuse it.
  

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [Insert Contact Email].

If you are based in the EU, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (AP), the Dutch Data Protection Authority. If you are in the UK, you can also contact the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

10. Updates to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “last updated” date at the top of the page.
