Privacy statement
Version 1.0, 9 November 2026. The Dutch version is leading.
Who is responsible
Berchum Interim Management, a sole proprietorship of Pepijn van Berchum, Schadewijkstraat 29, 5521 HD Eersel, the Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce (KvK) 42189884. For privacy questions: info@berchum-interim.nl.
Which data I process
If you use the contact form, I process: your name, your email address, your message and, if you provide them, your organisation and phone number.
To prevent misuse of the form, the server keeps track of how many messages are sent per IP address. This happens in working memory only and is not stored. The web server also keeps log files with a shortened IP address (the last part is replaced by a 0), the time, the page requested and the browser type.
Purposes and legal basis
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Answering your message and discussing a possible assignment | Data from the contact form | Article 6(1)(b) (steps prior to a contract) or (f) (legitimate interest: answering questions) |
| Securing the website and preventing misuse of the form | IP address, log files | Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest: security) |
How the form works
Your message is not stored on the website or in a database. The server forwards it directly by email through the secure mail server of Proton to my business mailbox. The content of your message is not logged.
How long I keep data
- Emails from the contact form: no longer than 12 months after the last contact, unless an assignment results from it.
- If an assignment results: data subject to the statutory tax retention obligation is kept for 7 years.
- Message count per IP address: no longer than 1 hour, in working memory only.
- Web server log files: no longer than 14 days.
Who I share data with
Only with Proton, which processes and stores the email. The website runs on my own equipment in the Netherlands. I do not sell data and do not share it with third parties for marketing. My email provider does not process data outside the European Economic Area.
Cookies and analytics
This website uses no cookies, no analytics software and no trackers. No fonts or scripts are loaded from third parties.
Security
The website is only available over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Messages are sent to the mail server over an encrypted connection (TLS).
Your rights
You can ask me for: access to your data, correction, erasure, restriction of processing and transfer of your data. You can also object to processing based on legitimate interest. Send your request to info@berchum-interim.nl. I will respond within one month.
Complaints
If you disagree with how I handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
