This Privacy Policy explains how Vanmael Angler, available at vanmael.website, collects, uses and protects personal information. The website is operated by Van Mael Jonas Peter, Verbindingsstraat 92, 9100 Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. Vanmael Angler is an independent blog about weekend fishing and fishing video games. Please read this policy carefully to understand how your information is handled.

Information we collect

When you use the contact form on the Contact page, we collect the information you provide: your name, your email address, an optional phone number and the content of your message.

When you visit the website, technical data is processed automatically, including your IP address, browser type and version, device information, the pages requested and the date and time of access. This data is recorded in server logs.

The website also uses one strictly necessary cookie that stores your choice regarding the cookie notice, so the notice does not reappear on every visit.

How and why we use your information

We use contact form information only to read and respond to your message and to handle any follow-up correspondence you request. We use technical data to deliver the website, keep it secure, prevent abuse and diagnose technical problems.

Where laws such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation apply, the legal bases are: steps taken at your request and our legitimate interest in answering inquiries (contact form), our legitimate interest in operating a secure and reliable website (technical data), and the strict necessity of the cookie notice cookie to provide the service you requested.

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Data retention

Contact form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry and handle related correspondence, and are then deleted unless a longer period is required by law. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes and are then deleted or anonymized. The cookie notice cookie remains in your browser until it expires or you delete it.

Sharing with service providers

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the website, such as our web hosting provider and a content delivery network and security provider. These providers process data on our behalf, only for the purpose of providing their services, and are required to protect it. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights and the security of the website.

International transfers

The website operator is based in Belgium and our service providers may process data in the European Union, the United States or other countries. Where personal information is transferred across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards available under applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect it.

Advertising

This website may be promoted through online advertising, for example Google Ads. The website itself does not place any advertising cookies or tracking technologies.

Advertising platforms that show ads for this website process data under their own privacy policies. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com or learn about opting out of interest-based advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the right to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to access it, to request its correction or deletion, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information as defined by that law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Residents of other US states with privacy laws and individuals covered by the GDPR may have similar rights, including the rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise your rights, email [email protected] or use the contact form on the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections to the website. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot ensure absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page. Please review it periodically.
