Privacy policy

This policy explains what data I collect through this site, why, and what rights you have. Short version: I only collect what I need to reply to you, and I do not sell or share anything.

Who I am

For the data collected through this site, I, Bert Lempens (SABER studio), am the data controller. I work from Bree, Limburg, as a sole trader.

Questions about this policy or your data? Email bertlempens@gmail.com.

What data I collect

I only collect what you enter yourself through the contact form, plus one technical value used to spot abuse.

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number (optional)
  • Company name (optional)
  • Topic and timing of your request (optional)
  • Your message
  • The language you viewed the site in
  • A hashed IP address, for abuse detection only

What I use it for

Only to reply to your request and start a conversation. I do not use your data for marketing, do not send a newsletter, and do not share or sell anything to third parties.

Legal basis

This processing relies on legitimate interest: you send a request yourself, and I need your details to respond to it. For the hashed IP address, that legitimate interest is preventing abuse of the form.

How long I keep it

As long as a request has not been handled, it stays. Once handled, I delete it automatically after a year at most. No archive of old enquiries ever piles up.

Who else has access

No one but me. The site runs on my own servers at Hetzner (Germany, EU), no data is shared with advertising or tracking partners, and there is no separate marketing platform your data ends up in either.

Your rights

You have the right to access your data, have it corrected or deleted, have processing restricted, object to it, and request it in a portable format. Email bertlempens@gmail.com, I will reply as soon as I can.

Not happy with how I handle your data? You can file a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.

Cookies

This site uses exactly one cookie, to remember your language choice. No tracking, no advertising. More detail on the cookies page.

Changes to this policy

If how I process data changes, I will update this page. Last updated: 18 September 2026.
