Privacy Policy

Draft — this text is a starting point based on what the website technically does. It has not been reviewed by a legal advisor. Please check it against your own processing register and DPA obligations before publication, and replace the placeholders marked in square brackets.

Who we are

This website is operated by GeoCat B.V., [address], [postcode and city], the Netherlands. Chamber of Commerce number [KvK number]. For questions about this privacy statement or about the personal data we hold, contact us at info@geocat.com.

What we collect, and why

Demo and contact requests

When you submit the form on our Book demo page, we receive the details you enter so we can respond to your request. We use this data only to contact you about your enquiry and, where relevant, to prepare a quote. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who approach us, or the steps taken at your request before entering into a contract.

Job applications

When you apply for a vacancy, we receive your name, email address, phone number, motivation and any CV you upload. We use this information solely to assess your application. We retain application data for [retention period, e.g. four weeks after the procedure ends] unless you give us permission to keep it longer.

Server logs

Our hosting provider records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and requested page. These logs are used for security and troubleshooting and are kept for [retention period].

Cookies

This website places functional cookies only. They are needed to keep the site working — for example to process a form submission securely, or to remember your session if you log in to the administration area. We do not use tracking, advertising or analytics cookies, so no cookie consent banner is required.

Embedded content from other websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos or documents hosted elsewhere. Embedded content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website, which may collect data about you and set its own cookies. We have no control over what those third parties do with that data.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. We do use suppliers who process data on our behalf, such as our hosting provider and our email provider. Each of them works under a processing agreement. [List the processors here.]

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you, have it corrected or erased, restrict or object to its processing, and receive it in a portable format. Send your request to info@geocat.com and we will respond within one month. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
