PRIVACY STATEMENT
Last updated: 31 August 2026
Maarten Bun respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal data carefully, transparently and in accordance with applicable privacy legislation, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This Privacy Statement explains what personal data may be collected through maartenbun.com, why it is processed and what rights you have.
1. Who is responsible for your personal data?
The controller responsible for the processing of personal data through this website is:
Maarten Bun
The Netherlands
Website: maartenbun.com
Email: hello@maartenbun.com
Phone: +31 6 1187 4381
For any questions about privacy or the processing of your personal data, you can contact me using the email address above.
2. What personal data is collected?
Depending on how you use this website or contact me, I may process the following personal data:
• name;
• email address;
• telephone number, when provided; company or organisation details, when provided;
• information you include in your message or enquiry;
• correspondence relating to a potential or existing project;
• invoicing and administrative information when you become a client;
• technical information necessary for the functioning and security of the website.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the contact form unless this is necessary for your enquiry.
3. Contact form and enquiries
When you use the contact form on maartenbun.com, you are asked to provide your name, email address and message. Providing a telephone number is optional.
This information is used to:
• respond to your enquiry;
• discuss a potential collaboration or production;
• prepare a quotation, proposal or agreement;
• communicate about an existing assignment.
The legal basis for this processing is generally the taking of steps at your request before entering into an agreement, the performance of an agreement, or my legitimate interest in maintaining normal professional and business communication.
Your data will not be used for unrelated marketing purposes without an appropriate legal basis.
4. Clients and business relationships
If an enquiry results in an assignment, additional information may be processed as necessary for project management, contracts, production, invoicing and administration.
Certain administrative and financial records must be retained for the period required by applicable Dutch tax legislation.
5. How long is personal data retained?
Personal data is not retained longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
As a general guideline:
• enquiries that do not result in an assignment may be retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact;
• project correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary in connection with the project, contractual obligations or possible follow-up work;
• invoices and other information that forms part of the financial administration are retained for the statutory retention period, which is generally seven years in the Netherlands;
• information may be retained longer where this is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Where information is no longer required, it will be deleted or anonymised where reasonably possible.
6. Website hosting and Framer
This website is created and hosted using Framer.
Framer may process technical information where this is necessary to host, operate, secure and deliver the website and its functionality. Where Framer processes personal data on my behalf in connection with the website, it acts as a service provider or processor as applicable.
The website also uses Framer's built-in analytics functionality. According to Framer, its analytics system does not use cookies or persistent identifiers to identify individual visitors and analytics data is provided in an anonymised form.
Analytics information may include aggregated information such as:
• page views;
• visitor numbers;
• referral sources;
• approximate country;
• device category;
• browser or operating system;
• general website usage statistics.
This information is used to understand how the website performs and to improve its content and usability.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
At the date of this Privacy Statement, maartenbun.com does not intentionally use advertising or behavioural tracking cookies.
Framer's built-in analytics system operates without analytics cookies or persistent visitor identifiers.
Technologies that are strictly necessary for the security, delivery or technical operation of the website may still be used where required.
If additional services are introduced in the future that use non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies, this Privacy Statement will be updated and consent will be requested where legally required.
8. External websites and social media
This website contains links to external platforms and websites, including services such as LinkedIn, Instagram, Vimeo and IMDb.
When you follow an external link, you leave maartenbun.com. The relevant third party may then process personal data in accordance with its own privacy policy and terms.
Maarten Bun is not responsible for the privacy practices, content or operation of third-party websites.
9. Service providers and recipients
Personal data may be processed by third parties where this is reasonably necessary to operate the website or conduct my business.
These may include:
• website hosting and infrastructure providers;
• email and communication providers;
• accounting and administrative service providers;
• IT and security service providers; professional advisers where necessary.
These parties only receive information where this is necessary for the relevant service or where disclosure is required by law. Personal data is not sold to third parties.
10. International processing
Some service providers may process information outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards will be used where required under applicable privacy legislation, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards.
11. Security
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration. No internet-based system can, however, be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. Your privacy rights
Subject to the conditions of applicable law, you may have the right to:
• request access to your personal data; have inaccurate information corrected;
• request deletion of your personal data; request restriction of processing; object to certain processing;
• request transfer of your data where the right to data portability applies;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
You can submit a request by emailing hello@maartenbun.com.
I may ask for additional information where this is reasonably necessary to verify your identity before responding to a request.
You also have the right to submit a complaint to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
