Privacy

Your data, kept simple.

Last updated 1 November 2026

In short

This site uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking. I only receive personal data when you contact me, book a call or work with me, and I only use it for that.

Who I am

ByNicolaasJoosten is the business of Nicolaas Joosten, filmmaker, based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. KvK 91268087. For anything about your data, email info@bynicolaasjoosten.com.

What I collect, and why

  • When you email me: your name, email address and whatever you write. I use it to reply.
  • When you book a call: through Cal.com I receive your name, email address, the time you picked and any notes. I use it to prepare and hold the call.
  • When we work together: contact and invoice details (name, company, address, KvK and VAT number). I use them to plan the work, deliver it and invoice it.

I process this data to answer your request or prepare a collaboration, to carry out our agreement, and to meet my legal obligations, such as keeping financial records.

How long I keep it

  • Enquiries that don’t lead to a project: deleted within 12 months.
  • Client and invoice details: 7 years, because Dutch tax law requires it.

Services this site uses

I never sell or share your data for marketing. To run this site, I rely on a few services:

  • GitHub Pages hosts the site and, like every web host, logs technical data such as your IP address.
  • Vimeo plays the films, set to “do not track”.
  • The typefaces are hosted on this site itself, so no font requests go to Google.
  • Cal.com handles call bookings.
  • TransIP hosts my email.

People in my work

The films and photos on this site were made for or with clients, with their permission. Are you in one of them and would you like it removed from my portfolio? Email me and I’ll take care of it.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, or object to how I use it. Email me and I’ll respond within four weeks. Not satisfied with my answer? You can file a complaint with the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
