1. Who we are

Bartholomeus Advisory ("we", "us") processes personal data when you visit or contact us through this website. We act as the data controller for this processing.

2. What data we collect

  • —Contact details — name, email address, optionally company and role
  • —Message content — the information you submit in the contact form
  • —Article notifications — your email address, if you ask to be notified of new articles
  • —Website statistics — pages visited, referring site, device type, scroll depth and clicks. Instead of your IP address we store a code that changes daily.

3. Why we process your data

We process your data solely to:

  • —Respond to your request or question
  • —Communicate with you about potential services you asked about
  • —Let you know when a new article is out, if you asked for that

The statistics run on our own server. We use no cookies, tracking pixels or third-party analytics, and we do not send your IP address to anyone.

4. Legal basis

We process your data because it is necessary to respond to your request and to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)). Where applicable, we may also rely on legitimate interest in handling inbound enquiries (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). Website statistics are based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)). Article notifications are based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)), which you can withdraw at any time.

5. How long we keep your data

We keep your message and contact details no longer than necessary to handle your request. If our communication results in an engagement, retention may follow statutory and contractual obligations. Typical retention: 12 months for enquiries, unless a longer period is required by law.

6. Sharing and third parties

We do not sell your data. We share data only where necessary to run our services:

  • —Email provider — to receive and reply to your message
  • —Hosting provider — to serve this website

If any service provider processes data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) are in place where required.
