Data may also be collected through cookies. Please see more about that below under ‘Which cookies do we use?’. 

We collect and process your personal data using various tools and services to enhance your experience and provide valuable content.

Additional Data Collection and Processing:

In addition to the above services, we want to provide transparency about specific data collection and processing practices on our website:

  • User Registrations: Some individuals may register on our website, primarily for the purpose of giving credit to authors of articles and blog posts. This registration may include the collection of names and email addresses.
  • Contact Forms: We utilise contact forms powered by HubSpot to facilitate communication with our users. Data collected through these forms may include names, email addresses, and any information users choose to provide.
  • Comments: We do not offer a user-generated comments feature on our website, eliminating the collection of data through comments.
  • E-commerce: We do not engage in e-commerce activities on our website, and as a result, we do not collect customer data related to online transactions.
  • Plugins: Our website uses various plugins to enhance functionality and collect analytical data. These plugins include anonymised and non-anonymized Google Analytics, HotJar, and HubSpot for analytical and tracking purposes. Please see more information on the respective web pages of these plugins.

9 – Where do we store your data?

 We process and store your data within the European Economic Area (EEA). This means that your data is primarily kept within the EEA, where data protection regulations provide a high level of security and privacy.

However, in some cases, your personal data may be processed or stored outside the EEA. We understand that the data protection rules in these countries may not always offer the same level of protection as in the Netherlands. To ensure that your personal data receives an equivalent level of protection, we have taken measures to safeguard your data when it is processed outside the EEA. These measures include establishing agreements with those who handle your data outside the EEA and ensuring that your data remains secure and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

If you have any questions or require further information about how we protect your data when it is processed outside the EEA, please feel free to contact us. Additionally, you can find detailed information about how your data is stored and protected by the third-party services we use:

  • HubSpot: Please refer to the HubSpot Privacy Policy for information on data handling and storage.
  • WordPress: For details regarding data handling and storage within WordPress, please consult the WordPress Privacy Policy.
  • YourHosting: Information about data storage and protection provided by YourHosting can be found in the YourHosting privacy policy.
  • Cloud Files: If Cloud Files are used for sharing material, you can review their data handling and storage practices in the Cloud Files Privacy Policy.

By outlining our approach to data storage and protection both within and outside the EEA, we aim to provide you with confidence in the security and privacy of your personal data.

10 – How safe is your data with us?

We have done a lot to protect your data as well as possible, both organisationally and technically. We have secured our systems and various means of communication to ensure that your data does not end up in the hands of others. Your data is therefore safe with us. We also ensure that your data is only used by people who have received permission from us. If you have any questions about the specific method of securing, please contact us at info@groundstation.space

11 – What are your rights?

Because we use your personal data, you have various rights. We have listed these rights for you below. For any queries, please contact us at info@groundstation.space.

Right to information
We must explain to you in an understandable and clear manner what we do with your data and what control you have over it. That is why we explain in detail in this privacy statement what data we collect from you and how we handle your data. 

Right to access
You may always ask us to view the data we hold about you. 

Right to correction
You may ask us to have your data corrected if it is incorrect or incomplete. 

Right to object
You may object to the processing of your data if you do not agree with the way we handle your personal data. This right applies to the data we use for direct marketing.

Right to data portability

Right to restriction
You may ask to limit the use of your data. This means that in certain cases we may only store your data but not use it. 

Right to be forgotten
You may ask us to delete all data we have about you. We will then delete all data that can be traced back to you. In some cases we cannot or may not yet delete your data. For example, we have to keep some data for 7 years for the tax authorities. 

Right to submit a complaint
If you have a complaint about the processing of your personal data, we will of course be happy to help you. If you nevertheless cannot come to an agreement with us, we would like to point out that you have the option of submitting a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. This can be done via the following link: http://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/nl/contact-met-de-autoriteit-persoonsgegevens/tip-ons.

How do I submit a request or complaint?

You can submit your request or complaint to us by sending an mail to info@groundstation.space. We process every request or complaint within 30 days. If you submit multiple applications or complaints or if you submit a complex request or complaint, this may take more time. In that case, we will contact you within 60 days at the latest. We may ask you to identify yourself. In that case, we will ask you to submit certain information to ensure that you are the correct person whose personal data is.
