Privacy & Cookie Policy of GlobalOrange

Your Privacy on GlobalOrange.nl

GlobalOrange handles all registered data, such as email addresses and names, with the utmost care. We never sell or share your email address or any other personal information. When you sign up for our newsletter or download a whitepaper, your information will be used solely for the purpose stated in the form.

If we ever send you commercial messages in the future, you will always have the option to unsubscribe immediately. We also treat any data submitted through contact forms or sent via email with great care. This personal information is handled as strictly confidential.

GlobalOrange regularly uses recruitment campaigns based on ‘custom audiences’. This means we target advertisements toward specific audiences or individuals who have previously visited our website.

Personal Data on GlobalOrange.nl

We process the following personal data:

First and last name, address, city of residence, phone number, email address, areas of interest (such as SaaS products or Fintech), cookie ID (more about cookies below), and browsing behavior.

Newsletters and Mailings

GlobalOrange is happy to keep you informed about the latest news in areas such as software development, fintech, and machine learning. We do this through newsletters and mailings, some of which may be personalized. When you subscribe to a newsletter, you provide us with your email address. Naturally, we use this address solely to send you these communications.

Your Rights Regarding Your Personal Data on GlobalOrange.nl

Under the GDPR, you have several rights. Of course, GlobalOrange fully complies with these legal requirements:

• Information and Access: You can request insight into the personal data we process about you.
• Rectification: If you believe we are using incorrect data, let us know and we will correct it immediately.
• Erasure: You can request to have your personal data deleted.
• Restriction: If you believe your data is being processed unlawfully or incorrectly, you can request that processing be limited.
• Objection: You may object to the processing of your personal data.
• Data Portability: You can request to have your personal data transferred to another party.
• Withdrawal of Consent: You can withdraw your consent to the use of your data at any time—for example, for receiving newsletters.
• Filing a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority: If GlobalOrange fails to comply with applicable legislation, you have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Retention Periods

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) does not specify exact retention periods for personal data. However, Article 5.1(e) outlines the principle of storage limitation. Personal data should only be stored in an identifiable form for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.

It is possible to retain data for longer periods if it is anonymized, meaning it no longer allows direct or indirect identification of a person. Exceptions may apply for archiving purposes, public interest, scientific or historical research, or statistical purposes.

GlobalOrange never stores personal data longer than strictly necessary.

Cookies on GlobalOrange.nl

At GlobalOrange.nl, we make use of so-called cookies. A cookie is essentially a text file that is sent along with the pages of our website and temporarily stored by your browser on your computer.

GlobalOrange uses a number of cookies that are necessary for the website to function properly and for marketing purposes. This includes functionality provided by platforms such as Google and LinkedIn.

The use of cookies is essential for the proper functioning of our website. Even cookies whose effects aren’t immediately visible—such as those from Google Analytics—are highly important. Without anonymous visitor input, we would have no insight into how the website is used or how we could improve it.

The ‘tracking cookies’ used for analytical or advertising purposes are so-called ‘third-party cookies’. These are not placed by GlobalOrange itself but by external providers, such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Would you prefer not to have cookies stored on your device? You can indicate your preferences in the cookie consent banner that appears when you first visit our website, or you can configure your browser settings. Your browser will then remember your preference for all websites unless you choose to make exceptions.

Overview of Cookies Used on GlobalOrange.nl

Below is an overview of the cookies used on GlobalOrange.nl.

Cookies for Core Functionality on GlobalOrange.nl

These cookies are essential for the full functionality of our website. Without them, certain features cannot be used.

Social Media Buttons

GlobalOrange.nl includes buttons to share pages on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and LinkedIn. These buttons are snippets of code provided by the respective platforms and include a cookie. This cookie remembers that you are logged in so that you don’t have to log in again every time you want to share something.

Embedded Content

In various parts of our website, we may display content hosted on external platforms but shown within GlobalOrange.nl (embedded content). This includes, for example, Slideshare presentations or YouTube videos. Similar to the social media buttons, these embeds often make use of cookies. What these third parties do with the cookies and personal data can be found in the privacy policies of the respective services—we have no control over that.

Google Analytics & Adwords

Using Google Analytics, we collect anonymized data about user behavior on our website. This helps us understand how visitors interact with our site and supports informed decisions about its design and structure. It also allows us to optimize website performance.

The collected data is stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may provide this information to advertisers to help them assess the effectiveness of their campaigns. Google may also share this information with third parties if legally required or if those parties process the data on Google’s behalf. We have no control over how Google uses your data. We have not granted Google permission to use the analytics data for other Google services. For more information, read Google’s privacy policy as well as the specific Google Analytics privacy policy.

Would you prefer not to be tracked while using our website? You can opt out via the settings in our cookie consent menu. Alternatively, you can install a browser plugin developed by Google that prevents any website from tracking your usage through Google Analytics.
