Privacy & Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 2026

1. We respect your privacy

At Yapla BV ("we", "us", or "our"), we build software with security and privacy by design. We apply those same principles to our website. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We are committed to fully complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. Cookieless Tracking (Our Cookie Policy)

We do not use tracking cookies. Most websites use third-party cookies that track your behavior across the internet and require annoying consent banners. We do things differently.

We use a custom, internal analytics system that gathers basic, anonymous usage data (such as page views and scroll depth) to help us understand how our website performs. It does not use cookies, it does not access your local storage, and it does not track you across other websites. Because we only collect anonymized data, no cookie banner is required.

3. What personal data we collect and why

We only collect personal data when you explicitly provide it to us.

Contact Form: When you use our contact form, we collect your email address and your message. We use this data solely to respond to your inquiry and discuss potential projects.

Legal Basis: We process this data based on your consent and our legitimate interest in communicating with prospective clients (pre-contractual steps).

4. Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. We only share data with trusted infrastructure providers necessary to operate our business securely:

Form Processing: We use a secure third-party processor (Formspree) to handle and route the messages you submit through our contact form.

Cloud Hosting: Our website and anonymous analytics data are hosted on secure cloud infrastructure located within the European Union.

5. Data Retention

We keep your contact form messages and email address only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected (e.g., answering your question or maintaining a business relationship), or as required by law. Anonymized analytics data is kept securely on our servers for historical reporting.

6. Your GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of incorrect or incomplete data.
  • Request the deletion of your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict the processing of your data.

Please note: Because our website analytics are strictly anonymous, we cannot identify or delete specific analytics records associated with your visit. These rights apply only to the personal data you explicitly provide to us (such as your email address via the contact form).

To exercise any of these rights, simply email us at contact@yapla.be.
