1. Introduction
Vlaamse Tegelmeesters treats privacy as part of a discreet working relationship. Personal data is used to understand inquiries, answer requests, prepare sample or project communication, and maintain a functional website.
Privacy
Privacy Policy
This page explains how Vlaamse Tegelmeesters handles personal data shared through project inquiries, sample requests, direct email, and ordinary website use. It is written as careful launch information and may be refined when the final business and form handling details are confirmed.
2. Who we are
Vlaamse Tegelmeesters is a handmade ceramic tile atelier in Belgium. Registered details are being completed: [Enterprise number to be added], [VAT number to be added], [Final registered business address to be confirmed]. Contact: atelier@vlaamsetegelmeesters.be.
3. What personal data we collect
When you use the inquiry form or write directly, we may receive your name, email address, contact role, approximate surface area, project type, preferred glaze or surface direction, message, and any project details you choose to include.
4. Why we use this data
This data is used to reply to your inquiry, understand whether a sample or project discussion is appropriate, prepare relevant communication, and keep a reasonable record of project correspondence.
5. Contact and project inquiries
Inquiry details are handled directly by the atelier. If the form handler is not yet connected, your email client may open with the project details so you can send the inquiry yourself.
6. Samples and project communication
For sample requests or active projects, communication may include surface direction, intended setting, timing, delivery or collection arrangements, and material-board or client review needs.
7. Local language preference
The website stores your language preference locally in your browser using localStorage key "vtm-language". This helps the site remember the selected language. It is not used for advertising or profiling.
8. Website hosting and technical logs
Like most websites, hosting providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, requested pages, timestamps, and security logs. This is used to deliver, protect, and maintain the website.
9. Form handling and email providers
A final form handler may be added later. Form and email providers may process inquiry data on behalf of Vlaamse Tegelmeesters. The policy will be refined when the final provider details are confirmed.
10. No newsletter by default
Submitting an inquiry or sample request does not add you to a newsletter or mailing list. Your details are used for inquiry handling and project communication, not for unsolicited marketing.
11. No sale of personal data
Vlaamse Tegelmeesters does not sell personal data. Data may be processed by necessary service providers such as hosting, form handling, email, or professional advisers where relevant.
12. How long data is kept
Inquiry and project communication is kept only as long as reasonably useful for responding, project follow-up, administration, legal obligations, or reference in an ongoing working relationship.
13. Who may receive data
Data may be received by the atelier, website hosting providers, email or form service providers, and, where necessary, delivery partners, installers, accountants, legal advisers, or authorities if required by law.
14. Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of your personal data. You may contact atelier@vlaamsetegelmeesters.be to make a request.
15. Security
Reasonable care is taken to handle inquiries discreetly and limit access to relevant communication. No website or email system can be guaranteed completely secure.
16. International transfers
Depending on the final hosting, email, or form provider, personal data may be processed outside Belgium or the European Economic Area. Where relevant, this depends on the safeguards offered by those providers.
17. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the website, form handling, business details, or legal requirements develop. The latest version will be published on this page.
