Privacy Policy

JVVDESIGN collects as little personal information as possible. This page says what is collected, why, who sees it, and how long it is kept.

Last updated: October 7, 2026

1. Who Is Responsible

I am Jan Willem, the designer and developer behind JVVDESIGN, a freelance practice based in the Netherlands. I decide what happens with personal information on this website.

Questions about privacy? Email [email protected].

2. What Information Is Collected

Only what you give me, plus a little technical data needed to deliver the site:

  • Form submissions: your name, email address, an optional phone number, a topic, and your message.
  • The Winston chat: the message you type and the email address you give so he can answer you and file your enquiry.
  • Newsletter: your email address.
  • On your device: your cookie choice, the one-day sent-message flag of the contact forms, and if you opt in, your theme and newsletter autofill. See the Cookie Policy.
  • On servers: your IP address, requested pages, and browser details, handled by the hosting provider and by Google Fonts.

3. What It Is Used For

To reply to your enquiry, to send the material you asked for, to remember your preferences, and to keep the site running and safe.

Winston, the assistant on the contact section, reads your message so he can understand the question and draft an answer. Your enquiry is stored as a thread he can pick up from, and a clean copy reaches my inbox so I can take over personally at any moment.

I do not sell personal information. I do not track you across websites. I do not profile you or make automated decisions about you.

4. Legal Basis

Under the GDPR I rely on: your consent for functional storage and anything optional, my agreement with you when you ask for a quote or a resource, and legitimate interest for running the site securely.

5. Who Else Sees Your Information

Nobody for advertising. Submissions and chat go to my own systems: Winston runs as a self-hosted assistant on hardware I own, and to phrase his answers he sends the message text to Google's Gemini language model. Google's API is used strictly for that reply and is not used to train models on your data. The finished thread lives on my server and lands in my inbox ([email protected]). The site runs at a hosting provider, and fonts come from Google. That is the full list.

6. Transfers Outside the EU

Hosting and mail stay inside the EU. Two US services touch limited data: Google Fonts sends your IP address to Google when it loads fonts, and drafting a Winston reply sends your message text to Google's Gemini API under Google's own terms.

7. How Long Information Is Kept

Enquiry emails are kept as long as it takes to follow up on your question, then removed. Winston's enquiry thread is kept until the conversation is answered and closed, then it is treated like any enquiry: retained only as long as the follow-up needs and deleted when you ask. You can ask me to delete yours at any time.

Data in your browser expires on its own: the cookie choice after 180 days, the theme cookie after 365 days, the autofill cache after 365 days, the sent-message flag after 24 hours.

8. Your Rights

You can ask to see, correct, or delete your information. You can object to processing, ask for a copy of your data, and withdraw consent at any time.

An email to [email protected] is enough. I respond within one month and never charge for this. You can also contact the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

9. Security

This site runs over HTTPS. The mail endpoint is encrypted. Nothing sensitive like passwords or payment details is stored in your browser.

10. Children

This site is not meant for children under 16. If a child sent an enquiry, a parent or guardian can ask me to remove it.

11. Changes to This Policy

If anything changes, this page is updated first. The date at the top shows the current version.
