First of all
Your privacy and the protection of your data are very important to me. For the operation of this site, I collect information about you. Tamara Houtveen Design wants you to understand what information is collected and why.
For the website, I use a number of services and plug-ins. The information below is about which services I use and what I and the services do with the data.
No Google Analytics
I consciously choose not to use Google Analytics because I believe in anonymous internet browsing. Why? I write my pages so that you, the user, can browse through them in a pleasant way. To do this, I don’t need to monitor a user’s behaviour in a programme like Google Analytics. I can also do that by asking people in person to test a page for me. That way, I don’t track your data.
Laposta (newsletter)
At the bottom of the website, you will find a footer containing a Laposta registration form. If you subscribe to my newsletter, your e-mail address will be stored in Laposta so I can send you a newsletter. Laposta is a company that has good privacy settings. Would you like to unsubscribe? You will find an unsubscribe link at the bottom of each newsletter so you can unsubscribe yourself without any hassle. After unsubscribing, your data will be permanently removed after 14 days. That is, so that you don’t accidentally receive another newsletter. More information about Laposta can be found here.
WordPress
Media
If you are a registered user and upload images to the site, you should avoid uploading images containing EXIF GPS location data. Visitors to the site can download the images from the site and view the location data.
Cookies

If you visit our login page, we store a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted as soon as you close your browser.

Embedded content from other sites
Posts on this site may contain embedded content (e.g. videos, images, messages, etc.). Embedded content from other sites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited this other site.

Who we share your data with

How long we keep your data
When you leave a comment, that comment and its metadata are stored forever. This allows us to recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically rather than having to moderate them.
For users who register on our site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can view, edit or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Site administrators can also view and edit this information.
