Privacy statement

Who we are

[Company name] We are the controller for the personal data described here.

What we collect

When you send an invoice request:

Data Why
Name (or company name) To address the invoice
Email address To send you the invoice
Address and country Legally required on the invoice; country decides the VAT
Private or business Decides the VAT treatment
VAT number (optional, businesses) Only needed for reverse-charge VAT within the EU
Amount The price on the invoice
A note to Rolf (optional) Read only by Rolf; it is not printed on the invoice. Kept with your invoice request
Payment details (handled by Stripe) To take your payment. Card or bank details go to Stripe directly; we only receive the payment status, reference, date and amount
Technical data (IP address, time of submission) Security and fraud prevention ▸ ⚠ confirm hosting logs

We don't use tracking cookies or advertising tools. ▸ ⚠ keep true: no analytics without a consent banner.

Why we may use it (legal basis)

  • Performing our agreement with you — issuing and sending your invoice.
  • Legal obligation — Dutch tax law requires us to issue correct invoices and keep them.
  • Legitimate interest — preventing abuse of the form (e.g. spam invoices).

Do you have to give it?

Name, email, address and country are needed to issue a legally valid invoice. Without them we can't send one. The VAT number is optional; without a valid one, Dutch VAT is charged (EU businesses).

Who we share it with

Only with service providers that help us run this page, under a processing agreement: hosting [provider], email delivery [provider], invoicing/bookkeeping software [provider]; and our accountant. Payments are handled by Stripe, which processes payment data on our behalf and is also an independent controller for its own purposes, such as fraud prevention and legal compliance (see Stripe's privacy policy). If you give an EU VAT number we check it in the European Commission's VIES system. We never sell your data.

▸ Source Stripe role: https://stripe.com/legal/privacy-center#is-stripe-acting-as-a-data-controller-or-a-data-processor ▸ ⚠ If any provider stores data outside the EEA (e.g. US email services, Stripe's US group), add transfer basis (adequacy decision / SCCs).

How long we keep it

Invoices and the data on them: 7 years, because Dutch tax law requires it. Source: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/bldcontentnl/belastingdienst/zakelijk/btw/administratie_bijhouden/facturen_maken/uw_facturen_bewaren Form submissions that were not paid (checkout cancelled or abandoned): deleted within [30] days. ▸ ⚠ decide.

Automated decisions

The VAT on your invoice is calculated automatically from your answers. This has no legal effect beyond the correct tax on your invoice; you can always contact us about it. No profiling.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, restrict or object to its use, or receive it in a portable format. Invoices we must keep for tax purposes can't be deleted before the legal period ends. Email [email]; we reply within one month.

You can also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens): https://www.autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl

Changes

We'll post any changes here with a new date.
