Who we are

VPR-Engineering, Brieltjenspolder 17, 4921 PK Made, the Netherlands. Chamber of Commerce (KvK) 67488013, VAT NL002176681B64. Email service@vpr-engineering.nl, phone +31 85 877 0770. VPR-Engineering decides why and how your data is used through this website (the controller).

Your project request

The form asks for your name, email address, phone number and company, and for what you want to tell us about your project: car or chassis, engine, use, current ECU, work required, goals, timeline, budget and anything else. We use this to answer your request and prepare a proposal. Without a name, email address and the work required we cannot handle your request. Legal basis: steps at your request before a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Please do not enter data we do not need, such as health data.

When you send the form we also keep the time, details of your browser and a hashed version of your IP address, not the address itself. This limits abuse of the form. Legal basis: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Email and phone

If you email or call us, we use what you tell us to answer you. Legal basis: steps at your request, or our legitimate interest in answering questions (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).

Cookies and browser storage

At the moment this website uses no visitor statistics.If VPR-Engineering switches them on, the website uses Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to see which pages work: which pages you view, how you move through the site, and details of your device and browser. These analytics cookies load only after you click "Accept". If you click "Decline", or choose nothing, nothing is measured. Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Art. 11.7a of the Dutch Telecommunications Act). You can change your choice at any time through "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw your consent, measuring stops and the website removes its own analytics cookies from your browser. Cookies Microsoft set on its own domain you remove yourself in your browser.

Your cookie choice is stored in your browser, not in a cookie. Your browser also remembers a few animation settings during one visit. That is not a cookie either, and it stays in your browser. Only this website's admin panel uses a session cookie.

Number plate check

On some pages you can look up a Dutch number plate. Your browser then asks the RDW's open data directly for the vehicle details. The RDW receives the plate and your IP address. This happens only when you look up a plate yourself. We do not receive or keep that plate. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in offering this feature (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Map

On the home page and the dyno page you can load a map from OpenStreetMap. The map loads only after you click "Load map". The OpenStreetMap Foundation (United Kingdom) then receives your IP address. Legal basis: your consent, given by clicking (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The United Kingdom is outside the European Union. This transfer rests on the European Commission's adequacy decision for the United Kingdom, which has been extended until 27 December 2031 (Art. 45 GDPR).

Links to other websites

This website links to other parties, such as our web shop vpr-shop.nl, Google Maps at "Plan a route", WhatsApp and trueben.nl. They receive data only when you click such a link. Their own privacy policy applies from then on.

Server log

Our hosting provider Strato processes your IP address when you visit and keeps a log with, among other things, the time and the page requested, to keep the website secure and working. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

How long we keep data

A request that does not become an order: 12 months after the last contact.

The copy on our web server is erased automatically once it is older than 12 months. This happens per calendar month, at the next new request.

If it becomes an order: for as long as the order runs, then 7 years for our accounts (statutory retention).

Analytics data, if statistics are on: the retention period set in the Google Analytics account, and the period Microsoft Clarity applies.

The server log: the period our hosting provider Strato applies.

Who receives your data

Your request goes only to VPR-Engineering. We do not sell your data. These parties process data on our behalf:

Strato AG (Germany): hosting of this website, storage of requests and email.

Google (Analytics 4) and Microsoft (Clarity): only if statistics are on, and then only after your consent.

Google and Microsoft may process data outside the European Union. For the United States this happens under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

You can ask us for access to, correction or deletion of your data, and to restrict its use. You can object, or have your data transferred. Where you gave consent, you can withdraw it at any time. Email service@vpr-engineering.nl; you will get an answer within one month.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, please tell us. You can also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).
