Hi, I’m Esther Verhoef (Studio Stouthandel) and I’m responsible for how your personal data is handled. In this privacy statement, I explain what data I collect, why I collect it, and how I keep it safe.
Contact details
If you need to get in touch about your data, you can contact me directly (Studio Stouthandel, Lopikerweg Oost 44, 3411 JG Lopik) or through the contact form on this website.
What personal data I collect
I collect your personal data when you use my services or share information with me directly. Here’s what I may store:
-
- Your full name
- The name of your organisation or company
- Your bank account number
- Your address
- Your phone number
- Your email address
- Any other personal details you share in emails, phone calls, or messages
Special or sensitive information
My website, products, and services are not meant for children under 16, unless they have permission from a parent or guardian. I can’t always check the age of visitors, so if you believe I’ve collected information from someone under 16 without permission, please let me know through the contact form on my website and I’ll remove it straight away.
Why I use your data
I use your data so that I can:
-
-
- Process your payment
- Send you newsletters or post
- Contact you by phone or email if needed
- Keep you updated about changes to my services or products
- Deliver services or products to you
-
In some cases, I’m also legally required to keep certain data for things like tax returns.
How long I keep your data
I only keep your data for as long as I need it. That means I won’t store personal data for more than seven years after our last contact.
Sharing your data
I don’t share your personal data with third parties unless it’s necessary to provide my services or I’m legally required to do so.
Cookies
I use only essential and analytical cookies on my website. These cookies don’t harm your privacy – they just help the site run properly and remember your preferences. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings, and you can also delete any cookies already saved on your device.
Your rights
You have the right to:
-
- Access the data I hold about you
- Correct or delete your personal data
- Withdraw your permission at any time
- Object to how I use your data
- Ask me to transfer your data to you or another organisation
If you’d like to do any of the above, please get in touch via the contact form on my website. To make sure the request really comes from you, I may ask you to send a copy of your ID. Please black out your photo, the MRZ (that’s the strip of numbers at the bottom), your passport number, and your citizen service number (BSN), just to keep things safe. I’ll respond as soon as I can – always within four weeks.
Questions or complaints
If you’re unhappy with how I handle your data, you can also make a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Here’s the link: https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/en/contact-dutch-dpa/contact-us

I take your privacy seriously. I use the right technical and organisational measures to protect your data from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, or unwanted changes. If you think something’s not quite right, or you suspect misuse, please let me know using the contact form on my website.
