Privacy statement

Amsterdam Bear Pride (“we”) values your privacy. This page explains which data we process, why, and which rights you have. You can reach us via the contact form.

Which data do we process?

Contact form

Your name, email address and message, to answer your question or process your application (for example as a candidate or volunteer). We do not keep this longer than necessary, and in any case no longer than 12 months after it has been handled.

Online voting

Only if you register to vote do we process: your name, email address, an encrypted password (we cannot read it), the time of registration, whether your connection originates in the Netherlands, and an encrypted, irreversible derivative of your IP address. We use this to prevent double voting and abuse and to check that votes are cast from the Netherlands. We also store which candidate(s) you chose. This data is kept for at most 12 months after the vote ends and is then deleted or anonymised. Basis: your consent and our legitimate interest in a fair election.

Technical data

Our server briefly keeps technical log files (such as time, requested page and IP address) for security and to fix problems.

Cookies

We only use functional cookies: a login cookie if you log in to vote (or as an administrator), and possibly a cookie that remembers your language choice. We do not use tracking, analytics or advertising cookies, which is why there is no cookie banner. YouTube videos only load after you click play (via youtube-nocookie.com).

Sharing with others

We do not sell your data. We only share it with parties that help us run the website (such as our hosting and email providers) and when required by law.

Your rights

You may view, correct or delete your data, object to processing and withdraw your consent. Send a message via the contact form. If you disagree with how we handle your data you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
