Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23.07.2026

Ece Ertemalp Wellbeing ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal data you share with us through this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect here, how we use it, and what rights you have regarding your data, in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Dutch data protection law.

Who we are

Ece Ertemalp Wellbeing is a sole proprietorship (ZZP) based in Purmerend, Netherlands, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK) , operating the website eceertemalp.com.

We act as the data controller for the personal data collected through this website, and we are responsible for ensuring that it is processed in accordance with applicable data protection law, including the GDPR.

You can contact us at ece.ertemalp@gmail.com with any questions about this policy or your personal data.

‍What information we collect and how we use it

‍ Website visitors and analytics

This website is hosted by Squarespace. When you visit or browse this website, Squarespace collects personal information on our behalf to run the site and to power our site analytics. This includes:

  • Information about your browser, network, and device

  • Your IP address

  • Web pages you visited prior to coming to this website (i.e. the referring page)

  • Web pages you view while on this website, including clicks, internal links, scrolling, searches, and timestamps

We use this information to understand site traffic and activity, and to protect and improve the website.

‍Cookies

‍ This website uses cookies and similar technologies — small files or pieces of text that download to your device when you visit. Necessary and required cookies are always used, allowing Squarespace, our hosting platform, to securely serve this website to you. Analytics and performance cookies are used only after you acknowledge our cookie banner. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie banner on this site.

Newsletter / marketing emails

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your name and email address. We may send you marketing emails about upcoming circles, events, and offerings, which you can unsubscribe from at any time. We may use a third-party email service provider to send these emails and manage our subscriber list on our behalf; if we do, that provider processes your data in accordance with their own privacy policy.

‍ ‍

Legal basis for processing

‍ ‍We process your data based on:

  • Your consent — for newsletter subscriptions, which you can withdraw at any time

  • Legitimate interest — running, securing, and improving this website through analytics, where this doesn't override your rights and interests

‍International data transfers

‍ Squarespace, our website hosting provider, is based in the United States. As a result, some of your personal data may be transferred to and processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA). Squarespace has committed to appropriate safeguards for such transfers — see their Privacy Policy for details. If we use any other third-party service provider located outside the EEA (for example, for sending newsletters), your data may similarly be transferred outside the EEA, subject to that provider's own safeguards.

‍ ‍

How long we keep your information

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. The retention period depends on the purpose for which we use the data and on any legal obligations that may require us to keep it for a minimum period. In practice:

  • Newsletter subscriber data: until you unsubscribe

  • Website analytics and cookie data: for the retention period set by Squarespace's own systems — see their Privacy Policy

‍Data sharing and disclosure

‍ ‍We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may disclose your data only in the following circumstances:

  • Legal compliance — if required by law, regulation, or legal process

  • Protection of rights — to enforce our terms or defend against legal claims

  • Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of business assets, with appropriate notice and safeguards

Security measures

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss. While no system is impenetrable, reasonable efforts are made to secure all data.

Automated decision-making

‍ We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

‍ ‍

  • Access the personal data we hold about you

  • Correct inaccurate data

  • Request deletion of your data. Please note that in some circumstances we may be legally entitled or required to retain certain data even after such a request.

  • Object to or restrict certain types of processing, subject to the same limitation.

  • Withdraw consent at any time (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter)

  • Lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl) if you believe your data has been mishandled

‍ ‍

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at ece.ertemalp@gmail.com

‍Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
