Privacy statement
The Sailing Desk is being built. Until launch, this website does one thing with personal data: it collects email addresses from people who want to hear when we go live. This statement explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
Who is responsible
The Sailing Desk is operated by [LEGAL NAME], [ADDRESS], [COUNTRY], registered with the Chamber of Commerce under number [KVK NUMBER]. We are the controller of the personal data described here. Questions and requests go to [PRIVACY EMAIL ADDRESS].
What we collect and why
| DATA | WHY | LEGAL BASIS |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address, if you sign up for early access | To send you one message when The Sailing Desk launches | Your consent |
| The types of racing you tick on the sign-up form | To decide which events we cover first, and to count interest per type | Your consent |
| The regatta name or link you send through "Missing a regatta?" | To add that event to the calendar | Our legitimate interest in a complete calendar |
| Technical data that every web server receives: IP address, browser type, the page requested, date and time | To deliver the site and to keep it secure, including blocking spam on the forms | Our legitimate interest in a working, secure site |
We do not ask for your name, we do not build profiles, and we do not make automated decisions about you. Please do not put personal data about other people in the regatta suggestion field.
Cookies and similar techniques
This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. If you switch between the Day and Night theme, your browser remembers that choice in its local storage. That setting stays on your device, is never sent to us, and you can remove it by clearing the site data in your browser. The fonts are served from this site, not from an outside font service.
Who receives your data
We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not share it for anyone else's marketing. We use one service provider that processes data on our instructions:
- Netlify, Inc. (United States) hosts this website and receives and stores the form entries. Netlify processes the data under a data processing agreement with us. Because Netlify is based in the United States, your data may be processed outside the European Economic Area. That transfer is covered by [TRANSFER SAFEGUARD, FOR EXAMPLE THE EU STANDARD CONTRACTUAL CLAUSES IN NETLIFY'S DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT].
If we start using another provider, for example to send the launch email, we will add it to this statement before your data goes there.
How long we keep it
- Sign-up details: until we have sent the launch message, and no longer than [NUMBER] months after you signed up. If you ask us for further updates at launch, we keep your address until you unsubscribe.
- Regatta suggestions: until we have processed the suggestion, and no longer than [NUMBER] months.
- Technical data: for the period our hosting provider keeps its logs, which is at most [NUMBER] days.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict its use, or to hand it to you in a common file format. You can object to use that rests on our legitimate interest. You can withdraw your consent at any time, which means we remove you from the list. Withdrawing consent does not affect what happened before.
Send your request to [PRIVACY EMAIL ADDRESS]. We answer within one month. We may ask you to confirm the request from the email address it concerns, so that nobody else can remove or read your data.
If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us first. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority. In the Netherlands that is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).
Security
The site is served over an encrypted connection. Access to the form entries is limited to the people who run The Sailing Desk, behind a personal login.
Children
The sign-up is meant for people aged 16 and over. If you believe a younger child has signed up, let us know and we will remove the address.
Changes
When The Sailing Desk launches, with accounts, calendar feeds and notifications, this statement will be replaced by a fuller one. The date at the top shows when it last changed. If a change affects data you have already given us, we will tell you by email first.
