Privacy Policy
This privacy statement describes when and why I collect personal data, what personal data it is, what it is used for, and how that data is secured.
I thus serve as the data controller. You can reach me by email at tessa.knevels@hotmail.com

2. Why do I collect data?
I need this data for the performance of a contract between us, to fulfill a legal obligation, or to pursue a legitimate interest. For example: invoicing is required by law, so I need to keep your invoices; keeping a company's email address as well as possibly a phone number is necessary to fulfill agreements between us; keeping translated documents may be necessary for my business operations.
3. How is your information stored?
Our company is hosted on the Wix.com platform. Wix.com provides us with the online platform that allows us to offer our services to you. Your data may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall.
Besides, I keep your data on my computer for as long as we maintain a business relationship, but at a minimum for as long as required by law. Once you have indicated that you no longer wish to use my services, I will destroy your data at your request, unless prohibited by law or if I need it for legal proceedings.
All data is properly protected by means of a firewall and commercial antivirus software. Under no circumstances will the data be disclosed to third parties, except to government agencies when I am required to do so by law.

These functions are provided by third parties, namely the social media platforms themselves (such as LinkedIn and Instagram). If and when data is collected in this way, the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms apply.
For administrative purposes, other parties may have access to your personal data, including the website hosting company and email services. All of these parties comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

4. Marketing
i. Google Ads
We use Google Ads, an online advertising service provided by Google. Google Ads enables us to show advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be shown on the basis of user data available to Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). With the help of Google Ads, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example, which search terms have led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads have resulted in corresponding clicks. The use of this service is based on your consent.
ii. Google Ads Remarketing
We also use the remarketing functions Google Ads. Google Ads Remarketing allows us to assign people who interact with our advertisements and website to specific target groups and to display interest-based advertising to them within the Google advertising network.
Further, the advertising target groups created by us using Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions. This means that interest-based, personalised advertising (that is advertising that has been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC). The use of this service is based on your consent.
​
iii. Google Conversion Tracking
We also use Google Conversion Tracking. With the help of Google conversion tracking, we and Google can recognize whether the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We also learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification. The use of this service is based on your consent.
