A cookie is a small text file that is sent with the pages of a website and stored by your browser on your computer, tablet, or mobile phone. We use cookies to provide you with better service when visiting our websites, making them easier to use. For example, cookies remember your preferences, such as language settings. Cookies also allow us to see how often the website is visited and which webpages are viewed by visitors. 

For the placement of certain cookies, you need to give your consent before they can be used. This consent is not required for technically necessary (functional) cookies and analytical cookies, as defined by applicable legislation, such as Article 11.7a paragraph 3 of the Telecommunications Act and the ePrivacy Regulation. By continuing to use our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in our cookie statement. 

You can always withdraw your consent for the placement of cookies by changing your internet settings. More information about enabling, disabling, and deleting cookies can be found in the Help section of your browser. 

Your right to access, correct, and delete personal data 
You have the right to request Data Wise Consultancy to access your personal data (unless Data Wise Consultancy is not required to provide access under the General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR) and to have your data supplemented, rectified, deleted, or blocked. You will need to identify yourself when making such a request. If you submit a request and Data Wise Consultancy does not have a valid reason to deny it, your request will be granted. If you wish to exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. 

Disclosure of personal data to third parties 
Without your consent, Data Wise Consultancy will only disclose your personal data to third parties if it is necessary for the performance of the agreement, unless Data Wise Consultancy is legally obligated to provide your personal data to these third parties. We ensure that these parties handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws. 

Security of personal data 

Data Wise Consultancy takes appropriate measures to protect your personal data against loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, and unlawful processing. We ensure that only necessary individuals have access to your data, that access to the data is restricted, and that our security measures are regularly reviewed. However, please be aware that no data transmission over the internet or electronic storage method is 100% secure. 

Minors 
You are not allowed to share your personal data with us if you are under the age of 16 (in accordance with Article 8(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation - GDPR). If you are a minor and wish to share your personal data with us, you must provide explicit consent from your parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe that we have collected personal data of a minor, please contact us to have it removed. 

Links to other websites 
Our website may contain links to other websites that are not under our control. We are not responsible for the privacy policy or content of those websites. Data Wise Consultancy recommends that you always refer to the respective privacy statements of those websites before using them. 

The website of Data Wise Consultancy includes social media buttons to promote or share web pages on social networks such as LinkedIn. These buttons operate using pieces of code that originate from LinkedIn itself. Through this code, cookies are placed. Please be aware that these platforms may collect and process your personal data according to their respective privacy policies. 

Effort obligation 
Data Wise Consultancy operates under an effort obligation rather than a result obligation. This means that we will make reasonable efforts to achieve certain outcomes but do not guarantee specific results. In the case of an effort obligation, non-fulfillment of desired results does not constitute breach of contract unless there is evidence of insufficient efforts. Therefore, we are not liable for any specific outcomes but will strive to deliver the best possible service. 

Cybersecurity measures 
Data Wise Consultancy employs cybersecurity measures to protect your personal data from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, and unlawful processing.  

Insurance coverage 
Data Wise Consultancy maintains appropriate insurance coverage to safeguard against potential liabilities arising from our services. We are insured up to a certain amount, which is specified in our internal insurance policy. This amount can be requested when drafting the contract or agreement. In the event of a claim, if our insurance policy does not provide coverage, we have a fallback arrangement. In such a scenario, we will provide compensation in accordance with the invoice value of services rendered for a period of two months. 

Modification of privacy policy 
Data Wise Consultancy reserves the right to change its privacy policy. The most recent version will always be available on our website. We advise you to regularly check this policy for updates. In the case of significant changes, we will make every effort to inform you via email and through the website.
