Privacy
Artois Translations is located in the European Union and hence follows the GDPR. In this section, I will describe the data I collect through my website.
What data do I collect and how?
I make a strong effort to collect as little data as possible through my website. Artois Translations collects personal data in the following instances:
- You decide to contact me via email. My contact page invites you to send me an email. If you choose to do so, I will collect your email address, your name and any other personal data you share in that email (such as your phone number, names of other people, an address etc.).
- Cookies. My website uses cookies that might collect personal data. Please see below for more information on these cookies.
You should also be aware that, while I do not process your personal data, third parties might, specifically in the following case:
- You leave a review on my Google My Business or my LinkedIn page. My contact page invites you to leave a review on my Google and/or LinkedIn page. If you choose to do so, you will share your name, email address, and possibly other information (such as your location) with Google LLC and/or Microsoft. Please read their privacy notice: Google LLC – Microsoft
How will I use your data?
Artois Translations collects your data so that I can:
- Process your request and answer your email.
- Offer you a functioning website that takes into account your personal preferences.
If I need to process your data for other purposes, for instance because a request leads to a collaboration, I will ask for your permission. I will also ask for your permission if I deem it useful to share your personal data with third parties (I might, for instance, share your email address with another translator).
How long do I store your data?
If a request does not lead to a collaboration, I will remove your email (and with it, your personal data) after two years. If a request does lead to a collaboration, I will store all information for ten years. The reason being that the Belgian government has the right to audit my business for a period of 10 years.
In regards to the personal data I collect through cookies, please see below.
