Privacy

Last updated: 3 November 2026

Who is responsible

The controller for the personal data on this website is Jop de Boer, as a private individual. You can reach me through the contact form on the Hire me page.

What data I process

Only if you send a form do I process the data you enter yourself:

  • Both forms (Hire me and Drone): your name, email address and message.
  • Only the form on Hire me: also your organisation and, if you fill it in, a link to the vacancy.

Why I use that data

I use your data only to reply to your message. The basis is your consent, which is why you need to tick the box on the form. I do not use your data for advertising and do not share it for other purposes.

Protection against abuse

To keep spam out, the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile, which assesses technical data from your browser and connection (such as your IP address). I also count, temporarily and for at most an hour, how many messages arrive from the same IP address. For that I store only an encrypted value, never your message or your name.

The same goes for attempts to sign in to the admin area of this website: to count failed attempts I temporarily keep, for at most a day, an encrypted value of the IP address.

Processors

I work with a few parties that process data on my behalf. Messages are not stored on the website itself; they are sent to me by email.

  • Hosting of the website: Cloudflare.
  • Sending the email: Resend.
  • Security check on the forms: Cloudflare Turnstile. This script is only loaded on pages with a form.

How long I keep data

I keep your message and my reply for at most 12 months and delete them after that.

Instagram posts (only if you allow them)

On the Drone page I sometimes show posts from my Instagram. It is the only place where this website loads anything from a party other than those named above, and only if you allow it.

On your first visit I ask for your choice in a window. As long as you have not chosen, or you choose "Necessary only", your browser asks Instagram (Meta) for nothing. You see a card with a link. If you click "Show post from Instagram", only that one post is loaded. If you choose "Allow all", the page loads the posts by itself.

When a post is loaded, your browser fetches it directly from Instagram. Instagram may then receive data about your visit and set its own cookies, under Instagram's own privacy policy. What happens there is outside my control.

I keep your choice only in the localStorage of your own browser, under the name jop:instagram. No cookie of mine is involved. You can change your choice at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page, or with "Change choice" on the Drone page. If you delete your browser's site data, the choice is gone.

Cookies and storage in your browser

This website uses no tracking or advertising cookies and no analytics, so there is no cookie banner either. What is stored is functional:

  • A cookie called lang remembers your language choice (for a year).
  • In your browser’s localStorage, theme remembers your choice of light or dark display.
  • In your browser’s sessionStorage, short flags remember whether the introduction has already played and whether the sound is on. They disappear when you close the browser.

Your rights

You may ask me for access to your data, to correct or delete it, to restrict the processing or object to it, and to withdraw your consent. Use the contact form for that.

If you disagree with how I handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
