Privacy Policy & Cookie Statement

Who we are

seven-seas (public-facing name: Seven Seas), enterprise number BE 0752.750.385, is responsible for the processing of personal data as described in this privacy policy. For questions, you can reach us at info@seven-seas.be.

What data we collect

Through the contact form we receive your name, email address, message and optional company name, together with the page from which you submit the request. We use this information to understand and answer your question.

The form is technically processed by Formspree, an external service that acts as a processor and forwards the submission to our email address. Formspree may process technical data such as your IP address in doing so, in line with their own privacy policy.

Retention period

We retain the details of your enquiry for as long as necessary to answer it and conclude any resulting arrangements or ongoing discussions. If your enquiry does not lead to a working relationship and no further follow-up is needed, we delete the details. If you become a client, we retain the information needed to perform our agreement. Where a statutory retention obligation applies to specific records, we follow the applicable legal period. Such an obligation does not mean that all information in your enquiry is kept for that same period.

Cookies and local storage

We distinguish three types of cookies. Your choice is stored in your browser's local storage (sevenseas-consent) and you can change it at any time via 'Cookie settings' at the bottom of every page.

• Necessary — e.g. remembering your cookie choice. Always active, no consent required.
• Statistics — Google Analytics 4 by Google Ireland Limited, only active if you accept 'Statistics' in the cookie banner. We use it to see how many people visit the website, which pages they view and how they found us — not for advertising. Cookies: _ga and _ga_M8MY0YLL3Y, retained for up to 2 years. Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. If you withdraw your consent, measurement stops and the Analytics cookies are removed from your browser.
• Marketing — currently not in use.

The fonts and images are served with the website itself. The contact form sends your details to Formspree when you submit it. Links to LinkedIn and Google Maps open those external services only when you follow them.

Your rights

Depending on the applicable conditions, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or transfer of your personal data, or object to processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Contact info@seven-seas.be to exercise your rights.
