This policy explains what personal data DateSpots collects, why, and the rights you have over it under the GDPR.

Who we are

De Bruine Solutions, a sole proprietorship (eenmanszaak) based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is the controller of your personal data. Our full registered details are in the Imprint. Contact: privacy@datespots.net.

What we collect

Account information (email, and a phone number used to verify reviewers); the content you post (reviews, photos, saves, plans); device and usage data; and approximate location to show you nearby places.

How we use it

To run and secure the service, verify that reviews come from real visits, personalise your city and recommendations, keep the community safe, and measure what’s working through privacy-friendly, first-party analytics. If you’re signed in you can stop us linking that analytics to your account in Settings → Privacy; we keep collecting it anonymously.

Legal bases (GDPR Art. 6)

Performance of our contract with you (your account and its features); our legitimate interests (safety, fraud prevention, and improving the product, including privacy-friendly first-party analytics and personalised recommendations, which you can opt out of); legal obligations; and your consent (for any marketing).

Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with processors that run parts of the service for us (hosting, email, SMS, error monitoring) under data-processing agreements, and where required by law.

Retention

We keep account data while your account is active. Public reviews may remain as community content per the Terms of Use after you leave, unless you ask us to remove them. Audit and legal records are kept as long as required.

Your rights

You can access, correct, erase, export, restrict, or object to the processing of your data, and withdraw consent at any time. Use Settings → Privacy, or email privacy@datespots.net. You can also complain to the Dutch DPA (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

International transfers

Where a processor is outside the EEA, we rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision to protect your data.

Cookies

We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. Non-essential cookies fire only with your consent.
