This is a translation of the Dutch original. In case of any discrepancy, the Dutch version prevails.
Procesbrein is responsible for the processing of personal data as described in this privacy statement.
We attach great importance to careful handling of personal data and comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming, AVG) and the Dutch GDPR Implementation Act (Uitvoeringswet AVG).
Procesbrein processes personal data in two different capacities:
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR art. 6) |
|---|---|---|
| Name, e-mail, company name, telephone, message (contact form) | Responding to your question and maintaining contact | Performance/pre-contractual steps (6.1.b) or legitimate interest (6.1.f) |
| Name, e-mail, company, telephone (scan request) | Assessing your request and scheduling an introductory call | Pre-contractual steps (6.1.b) |
| Answers and uploaded documents from the intake questionnaire | Preparing and carrying out the scan | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Name and contact details of contact persons at clients | Carrying out the assignment and invoicing | Performance of a contract (6.1.b) |
| Usage and device data (IP address, browser, behaviour on the site) | Security, debugging and improving the website | Legitimate interest (6.1.f); for analytics cookies: consent (6.1.a) |
| Invoicing and administration data | Complying with statutory (tax) obligations | Legal obligation (6.1.c) |
We do not collect more data than necessary and do not use it for purposes other than those stated above.
For our services we engage service providers that process data on our behalf as processors. We conclude a data processing agreement (verwerkersovereenkomst) with each of them. The main ones:
| Service provider | Function | Data location |
|---|---|---|
| Hetzner Online GmbH | Server/hosting | Germany (EU) |
| Supabase | Database and file storage | EU region (eu-west-1) |
| Vercel Inc. | Hosting and delivery of the website | US (with EU edge) |
| Resend | Sending e-mail | US |
| AI model provider | AI processing (analysis during the scan) — depending on the task, for example Anthropic, OpenAI or a European alternative | EU/US — under a DPA with standard contractual clauses; no model training; short or no log retention depending on the provider |
| Google (Cloud / Drive API) | Storage of deliverables and read-only access after explicit consent | EU/US |
| Analytics service provider | Website statistics and usage analysis | US |
| Google Ireland Ltd. (Google Ads) | Advertising and conversion measurement (see section 10) | EU/US |
We do not sell personal data and do not share it with third parties for commercial purposes.
Some of the parties named above are established in the United States. Transfers outside the European Economic Area take place solely with appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's standard contractual clauses and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. For the AI processing we select a model provider per assignment; that provider does not use input and output for model training and retains them for a short period at most, for abuse detection. We inform you in advance which provider we use for your assignment.
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including encryption of access tokens, encrypted connections (TLS), access restriction at database level and the principle of data minimisation. Access to client systems is exclusively read-only and only after the client's explicit consent.
You have the right to:
Send your request to privacy@procesbrein.nl. We respond within the statutory period. If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).
Our website uses the following cookies:
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Retention period |
|---|---|---|---|
| pb_notice | Functional | Remembers that you have seen the cookie notice | 180 days |
| _clck, _clsk, CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, SM, _ga, _ga_* | Analytical | Statistics, heatmaps, session recordings and visitor numbers | 10 min to 2 years |
| _gcl_au | Advertising | Measures whether a visit came in via a Google Ads advertisement | 90 days |
On your first visit we display a notice that we work with cookies. A full description can be found in our cookie policy. You can manage or delete cookies via your browser settings.
We advertise via Google Ads. To measure whether our advertisements work, we record when a visitor who came in via an advertisement submits a form or views the site attentively (conversion measurement). In doing so, data that you enter yourself, such as your e-mail address, may be shared with Google in hashed (rendered unreadable) form in order to improve the measurement ("enhanced conversions"). Google cannot trace this data back to the original input and uses it solely for conversion measurement. Legal basis: legitimate interest (6.1.f) for the measurement itself; section 9 applies to the associated cookies.
We may amend this privacy statement. The current version is always available at procesbrein.nl. In the event of substantial changes, we will inform you actively.
