Dit is een professionele vertaling van het privacybeleid naar het Brits-Engels. Ik heb gezorgd voor een natuurlijke, zakelijke flow die past bij een moderne blogomgeving, terwijl de juridische nauwkeurigheid behouden blijft.

This data is generally anonymised and does not contain directly identifiable personal information unless you provide this information to the advertiser yourself.

3. Cookies and Affiliate Links

MySanctuary.nl is an informative website that utilises affiliate marketing. This means we refer to products and services from other companies (advertisers). When you click on one of our affiliate links, a cookie may be placed on your device by the relevant affiliate network or advertiser.

• Purpose of affiliate cookies: These cookies are essential to our business model. They allow us to register that a click—and any subsequent purchase—originated from our website, enabling us to receive a commission. The information collected via these cookies is typically anonymised and used solely to track the origin of a sale. We do not receive any personally identifiable information from the advertiser regarding your purchase or your account with them.

• Third parties and transfer of responsibility: Please note that these affiliate cookies are often placed by third parties (the affiliate networks and the advertisers themselves). Once you click an affiliate link on MySanctuary.nl and leave our site, you are subject to the privacy policy of that external website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, data management, or security of these external sites. We recommend always consulting the privacy policy of the website you are visiting.

• Your consent: Before we place non-essential cookies, including affiliate tracking cookies, we request your explicit consent via our cookie banner. You have the option to adjust your preferences and refuse certain types of cookies.

4. Sharing Data with Third Parties

We do not share your personal data with third parties unless:

• With your consent: If you give us explicit permission.

• For affiliate marketing: Anonymised data (such as clicks and conversions) is shared with affiliate networks and advertisers to process our affiliate earnings. This data cannot be directly traced back to you.

• Service Providers: We use external service providers for tasks such as web hosting, website analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and email marketing. These providers may have access to your data only to the extent necessary to perform their services. We ensure they implement appropriate security measures and comply with privacy legislation.

• Legal Obligation: If we are legally required to do so, for example, by a court order or a request from a government authority.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against loss, theft, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes secure connections (SSL/TLS), access controls, and regular security updates.

• Right of access: The right to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Right to object: The right to object to the processing of your data in specific situations, such as for direct marketing purposes.

• Right to withdraw consent: If processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the bottom of this policy.
