We are committed to protecting and preserving the privacy of our visitors while they use our site or communicate with us electronically. We take compliance with applicable data protection legislation very seriously.

The term “Personal Data” refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual, either directly or indirectly, including but not limited to names, email addresses, and phone numbers.

Scope of the Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how we, INSPIR8ION B.V., handle the personal data we collect from you or that you provide to us through our website. We commit to safeguarding your information and complying with applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), national laws implementing the GDPR, and other related regulations and legislative acts. This encompasses compliance with the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and any national implementing laws, as amended or updated over time.

Our Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect through our website and services, how we use and disclose such information, and the measures we take to protect it.

By using our website www.dronehorizon.org, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this policy. This policy applies to the following groups:

  • Visitors to our websites
  • Users of our services, such as subscribers to our newsletter
  • Partners

Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.

Data Collection

We gather information through two primary methods: direct input from you and automatic collection during your website visits.

1. Directly Provided Information
We capture and process data that you manually input into forms or other contact fields on our website, select from drop-down lists or menus, or provide via email or online forms. This encompasses all information you provide, whether it’s filling out contact forms, submitting inquiries, or engaging with our team via email.

2. Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our websites, certain information is automatically collected. This includes your IP address, the date and duration of your visit, the type of browser used, and other standard web log information. This data is gathered independently and is not linked with your other personal data, ensuring it remains anonymized and cannot be traced back to you as an individual.

Purpose

INSPIR8ION has a legitimate interest in processing personal data to fulfill your requests, optimize its services, and continually enhance the visitor experience. In some instances, we need to process data to ensure compliance with legal obligations. INSPIR8ION collects and uses your data for the following purposes:

1. Communication 
When you share your contact information with us, we use it to communicate with you. This includes fulfilling your requests for subscriptions or event registrations.

2. Analytics 
Both manually and automatically collected data are used to analyze and manage our services and website activity. For instance, we monitor statistics like traffic patterns and time spent on pages to optimize our offerings. Data used for this purpose is anonymized to ensure it cannot be traced back to any individual.

Data Security

INSPIR8ION is fully committed to ensuring your data remains secure. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate usage of the information by authorized users, we have implemented physical, electronic, and organizational procedures to safeguard and secure the information you provide to us. Personal information will be protected by security procedures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.

Third-Party Involvement and Data Disclosure

We utilize the services of a trusted third-party website and hosting provider, OnePage.nl, to support the operation and management of our website. OnePage.nl upholds rigorous data protection and security standards and is contractually bound to keep any information they process on our behalf confidential. All data collected through OnePage.nl for our website is securely stored and processed strictly according to our directives. OnePage.nl is not allowed to access, provide, rectify, or delete any data stored on our behalf without our explicit consent.

As INSPIR8ION operates internationally, we may transfer the data you provide to our subcontractors or business partners solely to fulfill your requests and our contractual obligations. These entities are obligated to keep the information confidential and are prohibited from using it for any purpose other than assisting us in delivering the services you request.

Please rest assured that we will not share or sell your information to third-party marketers. However, our website may contain links to and from third-party websites. If you follow a link to any of these websites, be aware that they have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept responsibility or liability for these policies. We strongly advise reviewing their policies before submitting any personal data to these websites.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was initially collected, except as required by law. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) outlines specific guidelines regarding the types of data we can store and the duration for which it can be retained. After the prescribed retention period has expired, we systematically delete this data in compliance with data protection regulations.

For data not governed by specific retention laws, we remove it once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you have consented to a longer storage period or specific data processing activities, we will retain your data until the end of the agreed period or until you withdraw your consent.

Your Rights

As the data subject, you have certain rights concerning the personal data we hold about you. These rights include the ability to:

  • Access: Request access to and obtain a copy of your personal data.
  • Rectification: Ask us to correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
  • Erasure: Request the deletion of your personal data, especially when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected.
