Privacy
Buurtstudent is a student project from the University of Amsterdam. This page explains which data we collect and why.
Visit counts for this website
We count anonymously how many people visit the website, so we can see what works. For each visit we keep:
- which page you open and how long it stays on screen;
- how far down you scroll;
- which website or campaign brought you here;
- whether you use a phone, tablet or computer, and whether you read the Dutch or English version;
- whether you started a sign-up form and whether you sent it.
We use no cookies and store nothing in your browser. On our server, your IP address and browser type are combined with a random daily code and turned into a short code. We do not keep the IP address itself. We delete the daily code after one day, after which nobody can trace the short code back to you. So we do not recognise you on a later visit, and we do not follow you across other websites.
If your browser sends the Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we do not count your visit. We keep these figures for 13 months at most.
If you sign up
If you fill in a form, we keep what you enter: your answers and your phone number or email address (older residents), or your profile with name, email address, study and what you want to do (students). We use these details to contact you about the pilot and to match a student and an older resident from the same neighbourhood. The details are stored in a secured database in the European Union.
Your rights
You can ask to see your data, to correct it or to have it deleted. Send a message to buurtstudent@gmail.com. If we cannot settle it together, you can complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
