What we do with your details.

Who is responsible

Avaro Partners is a trade name of Photizo Data, a sole proprietorship registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 88913066, at Laan van Oversteen 2-18 in Rijswijk, the Netherlands.

Photizo Data is the data controller for anything that comes in through this website. For any matter concerning your details, reach us at info@avaropartners.com or +31 6 84 68 04 96.

We have not appointed a data protection officer; the law does not require us to. Your questions reach the founder directly.

What we process

Only what you enter in the contact form yourself: your name, your organisation, your business email address and your description of where things are stalling. Optionally, you indicate where your organisation stands with AI.

On submission we also record the time and the IP address of the request. We do that to recognise misuse of the form — for instance when the same address sends hundreds of messages. We do not use the IP address to track you, to profile you, or to recognise you on a later visit.

We process nothing beyond this. The website records no browsing behaviour, no clicks and no time on page, and there is no login in which details could linger.

What we use it for, and on what basis

Your name, organisation, email address and question are used solely to answer your message and, where there is reason to, to discuss a possible engagement. The basis for this is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR: the processing is necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract.

The time and IP address are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f): our legitimate interest in keeping the form usable and keeping misuse out. We have weighed that interest against the limited intrusion, since it concerns a single data point we use for nothing else.

We do not use your details for newsletters, advertising, profiling or automated decision-making, and we do not sell them. If you would rather not hear from us after a first contact, say so and it stops.

How long we keep it

If your message does not lead to an engagement, we delete it no later than twelve months after the last contact. That period leaves room to return to a conversation that led nowhere at the time, without your details sitting around for years.

If your message does lead to an engagement, your details belong to the administration of that engagement. Dutch law requires financial records to be kept for seven years; anything falling outside that we delete no later than two years after the engagement ends.

The time and IP address sit in the same message and are therefore deleted along with it.

Who can see it

Within Avaro Partners, only the founder has access to incoming messages.

Your message is delivered as email. The website and the mailbox run with our hosting provider, which acts as a processor: it processes your details solely on our instruction, only to deliver and store the message, and does not use them for its own purposes.

We use no services that process your details outside the European Economic Area. Beyond that we disclose nothing to third parties, unless a legal obligation compels us to.

How we protect it

Traffic between your browser and this website is encrypted over HTTPS, so what you type into the form cannot be read in transit.

The mailbox your message arrives in is protected with a unique password and two-factor authentication. Access is limited to the founder.

Should something go wrong with your details despite this, we report it to the Dutch Data Protection Authority where the law requires, and to you where it is likely to affect you.

Cookies and measurement

This website places no cookies, not for statistics and not for preferences. There is no visitor counter, no Google Analytics and no comparable service.

The fonts are served from our own server rather than from an external provider. Your visit is therefore not registered anywhere else, including by parties you have nothing to do with.

That is why you see no cookie notice here: there is nothing to accept or refuse. If that ever changes, we will amend this text and ask your consent before anything is placed.

Your rights

You have the right to ask which details we process about you and to receive a copy. You may have them corrected if they are wrong, have them deleted, or have the processing restricted. You may object to the processing, and you may ask us to transfer the details you supplied yourself, in a common file format, to you or to another party.

Send a request to info@avaropartners.com. We handle it within four weeks. To avoid handing details to the wrong person, we may ask you to send your request from the email address you contacted us with.

There is no charge for a request.

Making a complaint

If you disagree with how we handle your details, tell us first — in most cases we work it out together.

If we cannot resolve it, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, the Dutch supervisory authority, at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.

Changes

If our practice or what this website does changes, we amend this text. The date below shows when that last happened. If you contact us again after a long gap, it is worth rereading this page.
