Privacy

We collect almost nothing, and we tell you exactly what.

The NADA Foundation is a public-interest steward, not an advertising business. We do not build profiles, we do not sell data, and we run no third-party tracking. This page sets out the little we do hold, why we hold it, and the rights you have over it — in plain language.

The short version

If you only read one thing.

We collect only the information you choose to send us — chiefly an email address, and only if you write to us or subscribe to updates.
We run no advertising or analytics tracking, and we set no marketing cookies.
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Ever.
You can ask to see, correct, or delete anything we hold, at any time.

The detail below explains each of these in turn. If anything here is unclear, write to hello@nadalang.org and a person will answer.

Who we are

The data controller.

This website is published by the NADA Foundation, a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) that stewards the NADA language standard and keeps its language data free and open. For the purposes of data-protection law, the Foundation is the controller of any personal data described on this page.

What we collect

A short, honest list.

We collect personal data only when you give it to us, and only for the purpose you gave it. Each item below is held on a single, plain basis.

Email — when you write to us

If you email us or use a contact link, we keep your message and address so we can reply and keep a record of the correspondence. Lawful basis: our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us.

Email — when you subscribe

If you sign up for our occasional newsletter, we keep your email address to send it. Lawful basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via the unsubscribe link or by writing to us.

Server logs

Our host records standard request logs (such as a truncated IP address and the page requested) to keep the site secure and available. These are not used to identify or profile visitors and are retained only briefly. [TO CONFIRM: hosting provider and log retention period.]

We do not collect special-category data, we do not ask for it, and the public pages of this site work without any account or login.

How your email is handled

Where the messages live.

Newsletter sign-ups and messages to hello@nadalang.org are received and stored through ProtonMail, an end-to-end encrypted email provider based in Switzerland. [TO CONFIRM: that ProtonMail is the live provider for both contact and newsletter, and whether a separate sending tool is used for the newsletter.]

We keep these messages only as long as there is a reason to — to hold a conversation, to keep a record, or to send updates you asked for — and we delete them when that reason ends.

Essential only. No tracking.

This is a static site. We use no advertising cookies, no analytics cookies, and no third-party trackers. We do not embed social or marketing pixels. The fonts you read are self-hosted, so loading a page does not leak your visit to any third party.

The only cookies we may set are strictly necessary ones — the kind a page needs to load and stay secure. Because we set no non-essential cookies, there is no consent banner to dismiss. [TO CONFIRM: that no strictly-necessary cookies are in fact set; if none are, this section can state plainly that the site uses no cookies at all.]

Sharing & transfers

We do not sell or trade personal data. We share it only with the small number of service providers who help us run the site and our mailbox — for example our email and hosting providers — and only so far as they need it to do that job. Each acts under a data-processing agreement.

Some of these providers may process data outside your country. Where that happens, we rely on providers that offer recognised safeguards for international transfers. [TO CONFIRM: the specific providers and transfer mechanisms relied upon.] We may also disclose data where the law requires it.

Your rights

What you can ask us to do.

Under applicable data-protection law (including the EU and UK GDPR), you have the right to:

Access — ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Rectify — ask us to correct anything inaccurate or incomplete.
Erase — ask us to delete your data where we have no overriding reason to keep it.
Restrict or object — ask us to pause or stop a particular use.
Withdraw consent — unsubscribe from updates at any time, with no effect on what came before.
Port — ask to receive your data in a portable, machine-readable form.

To exercise any of these, write to hello@nadalang.org. We will respond within the time the law allows. You also have the right to complain to a data-protection authority — in the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens — though we hope you will give us the chance to put things right first.

Changes & contact

Keeping this current.

If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and move the date below. Material changes that affect you will, where appropriate, be flagged in our updates. We keep the wording deliberately short so it stays true.

Questions about your data? A person will answer.
