How this personal journal handles contact data.
This Privacy Policy explains how Taik Duccan, Nieuweweg 12, 3811 HW Amersfoort, Netherlands, handles limited personal data connected with this website. The site is a personal blog about men's everyday strength, exercise notes, food rhythm, and personal organisation. It is based on my personal practice, my observations, and what I do; it is not medical advice.
1. Who is responsible
The data controller for this website is Taik Duccan. The correspondence address is Nieuweweg 12, 3811 HW Amersfoort, Netherlands. The website exists as a personal journal and small archive service, not as a professional training, nutrition, or medical service.
If you use the contact form or email address, I process the details needed to read your message and reply. I keep the process small because the website is small: a name, email address, topic, reply preference, and message are enough for ordinary correspondence.
2. Data you may provide
The contact form may collect your name, email address, selected topic, preferred reply time, and the text you choose to write. You decide what to include. I ask that messages stay focused on the blog, journal structure, digital archive, or paid note options.
The form includes a GDPR consent checkbox so that sending a message is a clear action. The submit control links to a thank-you page and does not create a public account. Direct email may include similar details, plus ordinary email header information.
The website host may also record basic technical information, such as time of access, requested page, browser type, and IP address. This information can help keep the site available, detect misuse, and understand whether pages load correctly.
3. GDPR Article 6 lawful bases
Where GDPR applies, I rely on the following GDPR Article 6 lawful bases:
- Article 6(1)(a) consent: when you tick the consent checkbox or clearly ask me to reply to your message.
- Article 6(1)(b) contract steps: when you ask about a paid digital archive, a private marker session, or a monthly note option.
- Article 6(1)(c) legal obligation: when I must keep limited payment or administrative records for lawful duties.
- Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interests: when I maintain website safety, handle ordinary correspondence, and keep practical service records.
I do not use contact messages to infer sensitive matters, make automated decisions, or build hidden profiles. The blog is personal experience only, and correspondence follows the same boundary.
4. Why data is used
Your data may be used to reply to a message, answer a question about the blog, explain a paid archive option, arrange a journal-focused call, send requested materials, maintain records connected to a transaction, and protect the website from misuse.
I do not sell personal data, rent mailing lists, or add contact form users to an unrelated advertising list. If I later offer a separate newsletter, it would require a clear separate sign-up choice.
5. Storage period
General messages are kept only as long as reasonably needed to reply and manage the conversation. Messages linked to a paid service may be kept longer if they relate to scheduling, payment, accounting, or a practical record of what was requested.
Information required for tax or administrative duties may be kept for the period required by applicable law. If a message includes details I did not ask for and do not need, I may delete those details earlier.
6. Sharing and service providers
Personal data may be handled by ordinary providers that support the website, email, hosting, file delivery, payment, backup, or security. These providers should process data only for the relevant purpose. I aim to use a limited number of tools because this is a simple personal site.
Data may also be shared when required by law, a court, or a competent public authority. I do not publish private messages without permission.
7. International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the Netherlands or the European Economic Area. Where that occurs, I expect appropriate safeguards such as contractual protections or recognised transfer mechanisms. I try to avoid unnecessary tools and keep the data flow understandable.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on your situation and applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent. To make a request, contact me with enough information to identify the relevant message or service interaction.
You may also contact the Dutch supervisory authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens. Their website explains privacy rights and complaint options in the Netherlands.
9. Cookies and embedded map
This static website does not require a user account. It may use basic technical cookies or hosting logs where needed for ordinary operation. The main page includes a Google Maps iframe for Nieuweweg 12, 3811 HW Amersfoort, Netherlands. If you interact with that map, Google may process data under its own materials.
If you prefer not to interact with the map, use the written address shown on the website instead.
10. Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the site, contact process, or paid note options change. The current version is dated 1 June 2026. Continued use of the site after an update means the revised version applies from the date shown.
