This is a translation. In case of differences, the Dutch text prevails.

1. Who is responsible?

GeoActive BV is the controller for the processing described in this policy. Details: Ganzenvoet 20, 6418 PV Heerlen, the Netherlands; Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 14053719; email info@geoactive.nl; phone +31 6 51237607.

Maius is a trade name of GeoActive BV. The data of pupils and teachers in Maius is covered by the privacy policy on maius.nl. There, the school is the controller and Maius the processor.

2. What data do we process?

  • What you enter in the contact form: name, school or organisation, email address, phone number, subject and message
  • Data from emails and conversations you have with us
  • Technical data the server records automatically, such as IP address, browser type and time of visit

If your message cannot be sent by email, we store it on the server together with your IP address and browser type, so that it is not lost. We do not process special categories of personal data and do not take decisions based solely on automated processing.

3. For what purposes and on what legal basis?

  • Answering questions and preparing a collaboration (legitimate interest or steps prior to a contract)
  • Performing contracts (performance of a contract)
  • Securing the website and preventing abuse and spam (legitimate interest)
  • Complying with legal obligations, such as tax record-keeping (legal obligation)

4. Cookies

This website only uses functional cookies needed for the site to work: a session cookie (among other things for the verification code and your language choice) and a security token for forms. No consent is required for these. We do not use analytics or tracking cookies and do not load third-party services such as advertising, statistics, fonts or videos.

5. Retention periods

We keep data no longer than necessary for the purposes described or than required by law. We usually keep contact requests for up to 24 months and administrative records for up to 7 years (tax obligation). Technical data in server logs is kept no longer than needed for security and troubleshooting.

6. Sharing with third parties

We only share your data with service providers that process data on our behalf, such as our hosting and email provider D-Hosting in the Netherlands, or when required by law. We make agreements with these processors on security and confidentiality. We do not sell personal data. As far as we know, the data stays within the European Economic Area.

7. Security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures. The website is only accessible via an encrypted connection (HTTPS) and the contact form is protected against abuse.

8. Links to other websites

This website contains links to other websites, such as maius.nl and the websites of schools. Their own privacy policies apply there.

9. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict and port your data. You can also object to the processing. We respond to your request within one month and may ask you to identify yourself.

If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl). We would appreciate hearing from you first, so that we can resolve it together.

10. Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
