Who We Are

Kool Collective ("we," "us," "our") is a creative digital agency. Our website: koolcollective.nl. The following explains how we collect, use, and store your personal data.

1. Comments & Interactions

If you leave a comment or send us feedback, we may collect information you provide in the form (e.g., name, email, website), your IP address, and your browser user agent. This helps us prevent spam and ensure the security of our site.

2. Cookies

  • If you choose to save your details (name, email, website) when leaving a comment, a cookie stores these for one year for your convenience.
  • When visiting our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if you accept cookies—which contains no personal data and is deleted at browser close.
  • After logging in, we use cookies for session management (valid for 2 days) and to remember display settings (1 year). If you select “Remember Me,” the login persists for 2 weeks. These cookies are removed upon logout.
  • If you edit or publish content, a per-post cookie is set (containing only the post ID) and expires after one day.

3. Embedded Content from Other Sites

Our site may include content from external platforms (e.g., videos, images). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the original site and may collect data about your interaction, set cookies, and track activity—even if you have an account on the external platform.

4. Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email, helping to secure your account. Besides that, we do not sell or rent your data.

5. Data Retention

  • Comments and associated metadata are preserved indefinitely to automate moderation of follow‑up interactions.
  • For registered users, personal information you provide is stored in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your personal data at any time (except your username, which cannot be changed). Site administrators may also manage this data.

6. Your Rights

If you have left a comment or have an account, you can request an export of the personal data we’ve collected about you. You can also request deletion of your personal data, except for data we are legally or administratively required to retain.

7. Additional GDPR Rights

Under the GDPR, you also have the rights to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccuracies
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Request data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting lawfulness of prior processing)

The above requests can be made by contacting us at hi@koolcollective.nl.

8. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used to:

  • Moderately process and display comments
  • Secure login and account functionality via cookies
  • Improve site performance and navigation
  • Respond to inquiries or requests you submit

9. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data and prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

10. Updates to This Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy. The latest version will always be available on our site, with the “last updated” date at the top.
