Privacy policy

Last updated: 8 September 2025

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my privacy policy. I think it's important that you know how I handle your data.

Who am I?

I'm Deshna van Aarssen from Your website made easy by Deshna
Nissaråsvägen 19, 438 98 Hindås, Sweden
Email: deshna@yourwebsitemadeeasy.com
Phone: +46 73 537 1812

Data protection officer

Deshna van Aarssen is the Data Protection Officer for Your website made easy and can be reached via deshna@yourwebsitemadeeasy.com

What data do I collect?

When you visit my website or contact me, I only collect what's really necessary:

- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number
- Work address (if relevant)
- Other personal data you actively provide (for example - via forms or in correspondence)

How do I get this data?

In three simple ways:

- When you fill in a form on my website
- When you browse my site (such as which pages you visit)
- Sometimes via public sources (such as LinkedIn)

Legal basis for data processing

I only process your data when I have a valid legal reason to do so. These are the legal bases I use:

- Performance of a contract:
For carrying out our project together (such as web design or Divi updates)
- Legitimate interest:
For marketing, networking and improving my services
- Consent:
For my newsletter and placing testimonials (I always ask first!)
- Legal obligation:
For tax matters and administration that I'm legally required to keep

You can always withdraw your consent or object to processing based on legitimate interest.

What do I do with your data?

I use your data for practical matters:

- To contact you about your project
- To create your account when we work together
- To process payments
- To keep you updated with news (only if you want this)
- To place testimonials (naturally I ask permission first!)
- To manage your project properly

Do I want to use your data for something else? Then I'll check with you first whether that's alright.

Automated decision-making

Ik neem geen automatische besluiten die belangrijke gevolgen voor je kunnen hebben. Alle beslissingen over ons project of samenwerking neem ik persoonlijk.

However, I do use these systems that work automatically:

- My payment system for processing invoices
- My email system for sending newsletters and project updates
- Google Analytics for website statistics

These systems don't make decisions about you; they just help me with practical matters.

Do I share your data?

I handle your data carefully. Sometimes I must share it with:

- Marketing tools (such as my email programme)
- Analytics (to see how my website is used)
- Payment systems (for invoices)

These parties may only use your data for the purpose I share it for. No more, no less. With companies that process your data on my behalf, I conclude data processing agreements to ensure the same level of security and confidentiality for your data.

Minors

My website and services are not intended for children under 16 years of age. I don't knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you're convinced that I have collected personal data from a minor without permission, please contact me via deshna@yourwebsitemadeeasy.com, and I'll delete this information.

How long do I keep your data?

- When we're actively working together: as long as needed for our project
- Afterwards: maximum 2 years (for any follow-up questions or tax matters)
- No activity? Then I delete your data after 90 days

Your rights

You always have control over your own data. You can:

- Request to see what data I have about you
- Have this data corrected or deleted
- Take your data with you to someone else
- Object to my use of it
- Withdraw your consent (where applicable)

Want to exercise these rights? Drop me an email at deshna@yourwebsitemadeeasy.com and I'll sort it out for you. To ensure that the request has been made by you, I ask you to send a copy of your identity document with the request. In this copy, please black out your photo, MRZ strip, passport number and any national insurance number to protect your privacy.

Ik reageer zo snel mogelijk, maar in ieder geval binnen vier weken op jouw verzoek.

Cookies

My website uses cookies to work properly and to see how visitors use my site. You can read more about this in my cookie policy.

Security

I do my best to keep your data safe with good security measures. Unfortunately, I can't give a 100% guarantee (no one can on the internet), but I take it seriously.

Links to other websites

My site sometimes contains links to other websites. Please note: I have no control over how they handle your data. So always check their privacy policy.

Questions or concerns?

Have questions about how I handle your data? Or are you worried about something? Feel free to email me at deshna@yourwebsitemadeeasy.com. I'm happy to help!

Changes

Sometimes I need to update this privacy policy (for example due to new legislation). If there are major changes, I'll let you know via my website. The new version will then apply after 180 days.
