Verruilschap ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to our website and users of our analysis tools. This Privacy Policy describes the categories of information we may collect, how that information is used, the circumstances under which it may be shared, and the choices available to you regarding your information.

By accessing or using our website and services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the practices described here, please do not use our website or services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following general categories of information:

• Information you provide directly — such as your name, email address, and any details submitted through contact forms, account registration, or correspondence with us.
• Usage data — information about how you interact with our website, including pages visited, time spent on pages, links clicked, and general navigation patterns.
• Technical data — such as IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, and referring URLs, typically collected automatically through standard web server logs or similar technologies.
• Cookies and similar technologies — small data files stored on your device that help us recognize repeat visits and understand site usage (see Section 6 below).

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (such as financial account credentials, health information, or government identification numbers) through this website unless you voluntarily provide it to us in direct correspondence, and we recommend you avoid submitting such information through general contact channels.

3. How We Use Your Information

• Detecting, preventing, and addressing technical issues, fraud, or security concerns;
• Complying with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable data protection law requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we generally rely on one or more of the following: your consent, the necessity of processing to provide services you have requested, our legitimate interests in operating and improving our website, and compliance with legal obligations. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time through the contact details referenced on our website.

5. Sharing of Information

We may share information with:

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, remember preferences, and gather analytical information about site usage. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect the functionality of certain features of our website.

We may use third-party analytics tools that place their own cookies to help us understand visitor behavior in aggregate. These third parties operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or from our website.
