Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Vandenbulcke Garage, a blog about driving simulators, real cars and tuning available at vandenbulcke.online, collects, uses and protects personal information. The website is operated by Vandenbulcke Kimberly Anita M, Bossuitstraat 34, 8552 Zwevegem, Belgium. Because our readers are primarily located in the United States, this policy is written with US privacy laws in mind, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). It also reflects the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies to us as an operator based in the European Union.

Who is responsible for your data

The operator and data controller of this website is Vandenbulcke Kimberly Anita M, Bossuitstraat 34, 8552 Zwevegem, Belgium.

You can reach us by email at [email protected] or through the contact form on the Contact page.

Information we collect

Contact form: when you send us a message, we collect your name, your email address, your phone number if you choose to provide it, and the content of your message.

Technical data: when you visit the website, our hosting infrastructure automatically records certain technical information in server logs. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the pages requested, referring address, and the date and time of the request.

Cookie notice choice: we use one strictly necessary cookie to remember that you have acknowledged our cookie notice.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.

How we use your information and legal bases

We use contact form data to read and reply to your message. The legal basis is your request and our legitimate interest in corresponding with readers. Where applicable, it is also the steps you ask us to take.

We use technical data to deliver the website, keep it secure, prevent abuse and fix errors. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure and functional website.

We use the cookie notice cookie so that the notice does not reappear on every page. This is strictly necessary for the service you request.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, these uses fall within the business purposes of providing the service, security and debugging, and responding to consumer requests.

Retention

We keep messages sent through the contact form only for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and any follow-up correspondence. We then delete them, unless we must keep them longer to meet legal obligations.

Server logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting purposes and are then deleted or anonymized. The cookie notice cookie stays in your browser until it expires or until you delete it.

Sharing with service providers

We share personal information only with service providers that help us operate the website. These include our web hosting provider and a content delivery network and security provider that helps deliver pages efficiently and protect the site against attacks. These providers process data on our behalf and only for these purposes.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it or when it is needed to protect our rights. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined in the CCPA/CPRA.

International transfers

The website operator is located in Belgium, and our service providers may process data in the United States, the European Union or other countries. Where data is transferred across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards required by applicable law, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.

Advertising

This website may be promoted through online advertising, for example Google Ads. The website itself does not place advertising cookies or tracking technologies.

Advertising platforms that display our ads process data under their own privacy policies. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com or through www.aboutads.info.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights:

- the right to know or access the personal information we hold about you - the right to have it corrected - the right to have it deleted - the right to receive a copy of it - the right to restrict or object to certain processing - the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, although we do not engage in either

California residents and residents of other US states with privacy laws will not be discriminated against for exercising their rights. EU residents may also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise your rights, email [email protected] or use the contact form on the Contact page. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Children's privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information, including encrypted connections and reputable service providers. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes and contact

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page.

If you have questions about this policy, email [email protected] or use the contact form on the Contact page.
