02 What do we use personal data for?
We only use personal data for the purpose for which it was provided, or where processing is necessary to operate and secure our website.
For example, this may be to:
- answer your question or message;
- stay in touch with you in response to your message;
- handle a request to collaborate or help out;

03 Contact form and email
When you use the contact form, we receive the information you enter.
The form asks for an email address so that we can reply to your message. Your name is optional.
Messages sent through the contact form are forwarded to Fetish Social Limburg by email. Our website uses a secure email connection to send these messages.
We use the information in your message solely to handle your enquiry and any communication that directly follows from it.
04 Hosting and WordPress
Our website runs on WordPress and is hosted by Hostinger.
Technical data may be processed when you connect to our website in order to provide and secure it. This may include an IP address and technical information about your visit.
This data may be necessary to secure the website, troubleshoot errors, prevent misuse and keep the website functioning properly.
05 Sharing data with third parties
Fetish Social Limburg does not sell or rent out personal data.
Some external service providers may process data where necessary to operate our website and communications. Examples include hosting, email delivery and technical services.
When an external party processes data on our behalf, we limit this to what is necessary for the service concerned.
We otherwise only disclose personal data where required by law.
06 Cookies and technical data
Our website may use functional and technical cookies needed for it to work correctly and securely.
We use Complianz to manage cookies and consent. Where certain cookies or similar technologies require consent, we ask for it before placing them.
You can view and, where applicable, change your choices through the cookie settings on our website.
You can also delete or block cookies through your browser. This may affect how well some parts of the website function.
07 Website statistics
We use Koko Analytics to view general statistics about the use of our website.
This gives us insight into, for example, the number of visits and which pages are viewed. We use this information to improve our website, not to profile individual visitors or for advertising purposes.
Koko Analytics is configured without cookies on our website. We do not use the statistics to profile individual visitors or for advertising purposes.
08 Social media and external websites
Our website may contain links to external websites and social media, including Instagram and Facebook.
When you open such a link, you leave our website. From that point, the privacy policy of the external party concerned applies.
Fetish Social Limburg has no control over how these external websites process personal data.
An ordinary link to an external website does not mean that we provide that website with personal data about our visitors. Our Getting here page also uses an OpenStreetMap map. This external map is only loaded after you have consented to the Marketing category.
09 Visitor numbers at our gatherings
We may keep a count of the total number of visitors at our gatherings.
This count helps us understand the level of interest in our activities and organise future gatherings more effectively.
The count is anonymous. We do not link visitor numbers to names, contact details or other personal data.
10 How long do we retain personal data?
We do not retain personal data for longer than necessary for the purpose for which we received it.
Contact messages and related correspondence may be retained for a period of time where needed to handle an enquiry, refer back to agreements or understand earlier communications.
When data is no longer necessary and there is no legal reason to retain it, it may be deleted.
Technical data and logs may be retained for a limited period for security, troubleshooting and preventing misuse.
11 Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access and unwanted disclosure.
Our website uses a secure HTTPS connection. Access to systems and accounts used for Fetish Social Limburg is restricted as far as possible to people who need it.
However, no website or online service can guarantee absolute security.
