Privacy

This notice explains how SVE Consulting handles personal data when you visit the website, contact us, or choose to load the embedded Google Maps location.

Privacy notice

This privacy notice applies to the website at sveconsulting.eu. It is intended to meet the information requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The website does not use website analytics, advertising pixels, marketing automation scripts, or user accounts. Contact form submissions are securely processed by an Azure Function and Azure Communication Services and delivered to SVE Consulting's Microsoft 365 mailbox. They are not stored in a website database.

Contact inquiries

If you contact SVE Consulting, we may process your name, email address, organization, inquiry topic, message content, and any information you choose to include. We use this to reply to your request, discuss services, and manage pre-contractual or business communication.

Legal basis: taking steps before entering into a contract, performance of a contract where applicable, and legitimate interest in responding to business inquiries.

Website operation

The site is hosted on Azure Static Web Apps. Standard technical information, such as IP address, request time, requested page, browser details, and security logs, may be processed by hosting infrastructure to keep the website secure, reliable, and available.

Legal basis: legitimate interest in website security, troubleshooting, and service availability.

Google Maps

The contact page includes a Google Maps panel. The map is not loaded automatically. If you choose to load it or open it in a new tab, your browser connects to Google, and Google may process data under its own terms and privacy policy.

Legal basis: your choice to load or open the map.

Retention, recipients, and transfers

Business inquiries are kept only as long as needed to respond, follow up, manage a potential or active business relationship, and meet legal or accounting obligations. Routine technical logs are retained according to the relevant hosting and security settings.

Contact form data is sent through Microsoft Azure and delivered to SVE Consulting's Microsoft 365 mailbox. Microsoft acts as an infrastructure and communication service provider. The form uses basic server-side abuse controls and does not use a third-party CAPTCHA service. Operational logs are configured not to include form contents.

Ordinary prospect inquiries may be kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact. If an inquiry leads to a client relationship, relevant records may be kept longer where required for contract, accounting, dispute, or legal obligations. When a provider processes data outside the European Economic Area, applicable safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or an equivalent transfer mechanism are used.

Your GDPR rights

Subject to the conditions in the GDPR, you may have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise your rights or ask a privacy question, contact SVE Consulting at info@sveconsulting.eu. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.
