Privacy statement
Short version: I only collect what you type into the contact form and use it only to answer you. The site counts visits anonymously, without cookies, and has no advertising and no tracking across other websites.
Who is responsible
Shopen Technology (KvK 42076377), run by Itai Shopen in Amstelveen, the Netherlands, is the controller for the personal data described here. Questions: itai@shopen-technology.com.
What I collect and why
The contact form
When you send the form, I receive your name, email address, the type of project, your current website if you add it, and your message. I use these only to reply, to talk about your project and to prepare a quote. The legal basis is taking steps at your request before a possible contract (GDPR article 6(1)(b)); for other questions it is my legitimate interest in answering you (article 6(1)(f)).
I keep enquiries for up to 12 months after our last contact. If we start working together, the records needed for invoices are kept for the 7 years Dutch tax law requires.
Server data
To deliver and protect the site, the hosting provider processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type. I don’t use it to identify or profile you.
Visitor statistics
I use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit, which pages they read, which site or search brought them here, roughly which country they’re in, their browser and device type, and how fast pages load. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, doesn’t build a profile of you and doesn’t follow you to other websites. I only see totals, never individual visitors. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used and keeping it fast (GDPR article 6(1)(f)).
Cookies and storage on your device
This site sets no cookies. It saves two small values in your browser’s local storage:
st-theme: your choice of light or dark theme.st-notice: that you closed the notice about this, so it doesn’t come back.
Both are needed for features you choose and never leave your device, so no consent is required under the Dutch Telecommunications Act. You can clear them at any time in your browser settings. Fonts are served from this site itself, so loading a page sends nothing to Google or other font services.
Who else processes your data
- Cloudflare hosts the site, delivers the contact form email and provides the visitor statistics. Cloudflare may process data outside the EU under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.
- Google (Gmail) hosts the mailbox where enquiries arrive, under the same safeguards.
I never sell your data or share it for marketing.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, to restrict or object to its use, or to receive it in a portable format. Email itai@shopen-technology.com and I’ll answer within one month. If you’re not satisfied, you can complain to the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the Dutch data protection authority.
