What Data We Collect and Why

We only collect data we actually need.

When you visit our website

Our website uses Google Analytics (GA4) to collect standard usage data, including your approximate location, device type, browser, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This data is collected only after you have actively consented through our cookie banner. It helps us understand what content is useful and where the site can be improved.

We also use HubSpot, which may set cookies to track visitor behaviour and interactions with our website, including form submissions and page visits. HubSpot data is used solely to manage our newsletter and any collaboration enquiries we receive.

When you contact us

If you send us a message via our contact form or by email, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you and do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit agreement.

When you sign up for our newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. We use it only to send you the newsletter you signed up for. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link at the bottom of every email. Newsletter contacts are managed through HubSpot.

When you click affiliate links

Our website contains affiliate links, primarily to Amazon and brand partner programmes. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. The retailers you visit through these links have their own privacy policies, which apply once you leave our site. We do not receive any of your personal data from these transactions.

The Legal Basis for Processing Your Data

Under the GDPR, we must have at least one lawful reason to process personal data. For Green Goods Gallery:

Google Analytics cookies: your explicit consent, obtained through our cookie banner before any cookies are set
HubSpot tracking cookies: your explicit consent, obtained through our cookie banner
Newsletter data: your explicit consent at the point of sign-up
Contact enquiries: our legitimate interest in responding to messages sent to us
Affiliate link tracking: handled by third-party platforms under their own legal bases

Cookies

We use cookies on this website. Some are strictly necessary for the site to function. Others are only placed after you have actively agreed to them through our cookie banner.

We do not set non-essential cookies based on implied consent or continued browsing. You can manage or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of this page.

Types of cookies we use:

Functional cookies: necessary for the website to work. These do not require consent.
Analytics cookies (Google Analytics / GA4): help us understand how visitors use the site. Only placed with your explicit consent. We use Google Consent Mode v2, which passes consent signals to Google Analytics tags to honour your GDPR choices.
Marketing and tracking cookies (HubSpot): used to manage newsletter subscriptions and contact interactions. Only placed with your explicit consent.
Affiliate tracking cookies: placed by third-party affiliate programmes when you click a product link. Governed by the respective platform’s cookie policy.

Read our Cookie Policy for further details.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We work with the following third-party services that may process your data on our behalf:

Google Analytics (GA4)

Used to analyse website traffic and visitor behaviour. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which provides the legal basis for data transfers to the US. Data is only collected after your consent. You can review Google’s privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

HubSpot

Used to manage our newsletter and contact forms. HubSpot provides GDPR compliance tools, including consent tracking, data subject access request handling, and permanent deletion functionality. HubSpot is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. You can review HubSpot’s privacy policy at legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.

Our website hosting provider

Your data may be processed by our hosting provider as part of running the website. We ensure appropriate data processing agreements are in place.

Affiliate platforms

Amazon, Awin, and other affiliate programmes may set tracking cookies when you click product links on our site. These operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Contact messages: retained for up to 12 months, then deleted
Newsletter subscriber data: retained for as long as you remain subscribed, then deleted within 30 days of unsubscribing
Google Analytics data: retained for 14 months, as configured in our GA4 settings
HubSpot contact records: retained for as long as the contact relationship is active, then reviewed annually and deleted when no longer necessary

Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate data
Request deletion of your data
Object to or restrict how we process your data
Withdraw consent at any time, where consent is the basis for processing

Children

The Netherlands sets the age of digital consent at 16, among the strictest in the EU. Our website is not directed at anyone under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. Our third-party processors, including Google and HubSpot, maintain their own enterprise-grade security standards including encryption in transit and at rest.

In the event of a data breach that affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens within 72 hours as required by the GDPR, and will inform affected individuals without undue delay.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page always reflects the last update. For significant changes, we will make this visible on the site.
