This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website. We are private individuals, not a company, and we take your privacy seriously.

1. Who we are

This website is operated by private individuals based in Antwerp, Belgium. For privacy-related questions, you can contact us by email at: simon@retrospectre.be

2. What data we collect

We only collect personal data when you submit our contact form. This includes:

We collect your contact details solely to respond to your message. We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or any other purpose.

4. Legal basis

We process your data on the basis of legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) — specifically, to be able to respond to messages you send us voluntarily.

5. How long we keep your data

We keep your message and contact details only as long as necessary to handle your enquiry, and delete them afterwards. We do not store contact form submissions in any database.

6. Cookies and third-party services

Our website uses a small number of cookies and third-party services:

• WordPress — essential cookies for website functionality

• Google Fonts — loads fonts from Google’s servers (your IP address is sent to Google)
• Google reCAPTCHA — protects our contact form from spam (processed by Google)
• YouTube — embedded videos (sets cookies when you interact with a video)

For full details of cookies used, please see our Cookie Policy.

7. Sharing your data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties, except where required by the third-party services listed above (Google Fonts, reCAPTCHA, YouTube). Each of these services is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

8. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
