01 — Who we are
The controller.
Product Builders ("we", "us") is the data controller for personal data processed through this website. We're registered in the Netherlands under KvK 93137095, at P.E. Tegelbergplein 4, 1019 TA Amsterdam. You can reach us at hello@productbuilders.nl for any privacy question.

Server logs
Our hosting provider records standard request logs (IP address, timestamp, user‑agent) for security and debugging. A copy of your submission is written to those logs as well, so an enquiry is never lost in transit. It rotates out on the same thirty day cycle.
03 — Why we use it
To reply to you. Nothing else.
We use the data you submit for one purpose: to read your message and reply. The lawful basis under the GDPR is your consent and, once we're in conversation, the steps taken at your request before entering into a contract (Article 6(1)(a) and 6(1)(b)). Server logs are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure site (Article 6(1)(f)).
04 — Who sees it
Us, and our hosting providers.
Your message is read by the builder responsible for new conversations. We use a small number of processors to operate the site and our inbox. We have written agreements with each of them and we choose providers that keep data inside the EU/EEA where possible.
-
Hosting
The site runs on a European cloud provider that stores server logs.
-
Slack
Your message is posted to a private channel in our Slack workspace, where the builders who answer enquiries read it.
05 — How long we keep it
As long as the conversation is alive.
If we end up working together, we keep the relevant correspondence for the duration of the engagement and seven years after, which is the retention period required by Dutch tax law. If we don't end up working together, we delete the conversation within twelve months of the last reply. Server logs are kept for thirty days, then rotated out.
06 — Cookies & analytics
We don't track you.
This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising trackers. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing to consent to.
07 — International transfers
We keep it in the EU.
We pick processors that store data in the EU/EEA. Where any processor falls back to a server outside the EU we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses to cover the transfer.
