privacy policy

Phew! After the GDPR laws and regulations, things have become more difficult. But I’ve done my best to write a Privacy Policy in accordance to all these rules and regulations to make this website GDPR compliant.

It’ may not be 100%waterproof, but hopefully I’m getting pretty close. I’ve used the standard Privacy Policy text that comes with the core installation of WordPress. Then I’ve taken some time to modify it so it covers this website requirements. This is an ongoing process and changes to the text might occur.

If you have questions, comments or whatever regarding this Privacy Policy, please do not hesitate to drop me a line!

 

Best regards
