Privacy statement

Short and readable: what happens to your data.

NorthAnswer is a service run by Wouter van den Brink. This statement covers the request form on this website. Nothing else on this site collects data about you: no accounts, no analytics cookies, no tracking. We do count, anonymously, how often pages are viewed and buttons are used — without cookies, without IP address and without anything that could identify you. Visitors with “Do Not Track” or “Global Privacy Control” enabled are not counted at all.

What we collect

Only what you enter in the request form yourself: your name, business e-mail address, website and — if you choose — your phone number.

What for

Solely to assess and answer your pilot request. The form does not start a measurement or any other automated action; it sends one e-mail to Wouter.

Your data is never used for unsolicited marketing, newsletters or sale to third parties.

The checklist by e-mail

If you ask for the free checklist by e-mail, we use only your e-mail address: for that one mail with the PDF and the link. If you separately tick that you also want the five short e-mails about AI visibility, we record that choice with the date and the text you saw, and send those five mails spread over two weeks. Without that tick no mail series starts. You can unsubscribe in every mail; the series also stops as soon as you request a pilot or become a client. Your address is deleted within 90 days if no contact follows. The checklist itself can always be read, printed and downloaded without an e-mail address.

Who receives it

• Wouter van den Brink (NorthAnswer), who reads and answers your request.
• The e-mail provider that technically delivers the message, acting as a processor. It keeps the e-mail only as long as delivery requires.

How long

If no client relationship follows, your data is deleted within 90 days of your request. If we do end up working together, we keep what is needed for the assignment and our records.

Requesting deletion or access

E-mail privacy@northanswer.com. You will hear back within a few working days and your data will be deleted, unless a legal retention obligation prevents it.

Security

The form runs over a secure connection. Your input is validated on the server and not stored in a database; only an e-mail is sent. The technical logs contain nothing but a request number, a timestamp and whether sending succeeded — never your name, e-mail address or message text.
