Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 October 2026

Who I am

Awake Design is the web design studio of Jason van Berg. I am responsible for everything described in this policy. You can reach me at info@awake-design.com or +31 6 24 87 60 51.

In short

• This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking software.
• I only receive data from you when you fill in a form yourself or send me a message.
• I use that data to reply to you and, if we work together, to carry out your project.
• I do not sell or rent out your data.

What data I receive, and when

When you fill in the contact form: your name, email address, phone number, company name, website, the day and time you suggest for a call, and your message.

When you fill in an intake (the regular intake or the intake for “Your concept”): your answers to the questions about your business and your wishes, together with your name, email address and company name. A PDF is made of your answers. You receive that PDF by email, and so do I.

With every form the IP address it was sent from is recorded as well, along with the time. That is there to prevent abuse of the form.

When you email, call or send a WhatsApp message: whatever you tell me in that message. The WhatsApp button on the site opens WhatsApp; from that moment WhatsApp's terms apply.

What happens on your own device

The site remembers in your browser which language you chose (Dutch or English). That is not a cookie: it stays on your device and is not sent to me.

The intake page fetches one helper file from an external service (cdnjs by Cloudflare) in order to create the PDF. In doing so that service sees your IP address, as with any file a browser fetches.

What I use your data for

• To answer your question and schedule a call (you asked for that yourself).
• To make a concept or website for you (carrying out our agreement).
• To keep invoices and records (legal obligation).
• To protect the form against abuse (my legitimate interest in a working, secure site).

I do not send newsletters and I do not put you on a mailing list.

Who else has access

• Hostinger: the website, the forms and my mailbox run at Hostinger. Forms and email are therefore stored on their servers.
• Telegram: when an intake comes in I get a notification on my phone with your name, company name and email address.
• Beyond that I only share your data if the law requires me to.

How long I keep data

• Enquiries and intakes that do not lead to working together: 12 months after our last contact.
• Client and project data: for as long as we work together, and 2 years after that.
• Invoices and what goes with them: 7 years, because the Dutch tax authority requires it.

Security

The site and the forms run over a secure connection. Enquiries are stored in a place on the server that cannot be opened from the internet, and only I have access to it.

Your rights

You may ask me what data I hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to its use. To do so, send a message to info@awake-design.com; I will respond within a month.

If you feel I am not handling your data properly, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Changes

If something changes about the site or about how I work, I will update this policy. The date at the top shows when that last happened.
