Privacy and cookie policy

Before we get started

Webclew BV ("us", "we", or "our") operates a domain monitoring platform ("Platform") to help companies collect personal data online in a safe and compliant way. This privacy notice explains how we use personal data when you use our Platform and visit our webclew.com ("Website").

Less is more

We hope our products and expertise speak for themselves. We don't add any marketing-related tracking on our website. We do want to offer an easy way to contact us. We also want to have a sense of the number of visitors on our website.

Which data do we collect and why?

As a data controller under GDPR, we can only process your personal data when we have a lawful basis such as:

  • Consent: you make an active and informed choice to give us access to your data;
  • Contract: you share data so we can enter into and perform a contract;
  • Legitimate interest: you can reasonably expect us to use your data with clear benefits to us and limited privacy impact for you (e.g., Platform security);
  • Legal obligation: we have to access your data to comply with the law.

The following table summarizes which types of data (what?), we collect for which purposes (why?) in which event (when?).

When do we share data with third parties?

While we intend to limit sharing data with third parties, we have to do so to run our Platform and company. Third parties include:

  • Data processors: service providers operating on our behalf (detailed next);
  • Accountant: for invoicing and corporate tax obligations;
  • Public authorities: when we are obliged to report to them.

We have carefully selected data processors based on their technical capabilities and data protection measures. The following table gives an overview of each party.

Do we Transfer of personal data outside the EEA?

The short answer is we don't.

When personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, GDPR requires data exporters to provide specific safeguards to make sure that the protection of personal data travels with the data.

While we do work with AWS for cloud services, we do not store any personal data in the cloud. Other processors are based in Europe.

GPDR offers you the following rights towards us. Any request will be handled within 30 days.

  • Access to verify which personal data is being processed by Ads & Data
  • Rectification to correct incorrect or incomplete personal data such as an outdated e-mail address.
  • Erasure to erasure to delete your personal data unless we are legally required to process these (e.g., contact information on invoices)
  • Restriction to stop processing your personal data in specific circumstances
  • Objection to the further usage of your data such as direct marketing
  • Data portability to transfer your data to another organization
