Privacy and cookies

Last updated: 12 November 2026

This notice explains how TIM expertise BV handles personal data in connection with enquiries, assignments and this website.

1. Who is responsible?

TIM expertise BV, Magnolialaan 11, 1834 KA Sint Pancras, Netherlands. Chamber of Commerce 94709114.
Privacy enquiries: info@timexpertise.nl or +31 6 51276023.

2. What data do we use, and why?

For an enquiry, we use the information you provide, such as your name, email address, telephone number, yacht details, location and message. Assignments may also involve postal address, invoicing and case-file information. Please do not provide sensitive or unnecessary personal data.

We use these data to answer questions, prepare quotations, arrange appointments and carry out assignments. Our legal basis is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract or performing that contract. Legal obligations apply to accounting records. Website security, business correspondence and substantiating our work may be based on legitimate interests, balanced against your privacy.

Required form fields are needed to handle your enquiry; other fields are optional. Without sufficient contact or assignment information, we may be unable to respond or perform an assignment. We do not make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.

3. How long do we keep data?

We keep enquiries and correspondence for as long as needed to handle them and any follow-up. Assignment files are retained as needed for performance, aftercare and substantiating our work or legal claims. Administrative records are retained as required by law. We then delete or anonymise data unless there is a specific reason for longer retention. Deleted data may remain in backups until the relevant backup is replaced or deleted.

4. Service providers and security

We use TransIP for hosting and email, Wordfence for website security, Cloudflare Turnstile for spam prevention and Google Drive for backups. These services may process technical data, such as IP addresses and browser information, or stored website data. We limit access to what is needed for the service and use measures including an encrypted connection and access controls.

External services may process data outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Where personal data are transferred, appropriate GDPR safeguards must apply, such as a relevant adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. You may contact us for further information about recipients and applicable safeguards.

5. Cookies and external content

The website uses technical functions for operation, language selection, security and login. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. You can delete or block cookies through your browser; some functions may then work less well.

Cloudflare Turnstile checks requests to prevent spam and abuse and processes technical data for this purpose. External services may receive personal data even without a cookie.

Fonts are loaded through Google Fonts. Reviewer profile photographs may be loaded directly from Google. Your browser then connects to Google, transmitting information including your IP address and technical request data. Reviews include publicly shared names and comments. When you open links to Google, WhatsApp, Signal or other websites, the relevant service’s privacy policy applies.

6. Your rights

You may request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your personal data. Where applicable, you may object to processing or request data portability. If processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it; this does not affect earlier lawful processing. Not every right applies in every situation, for example where a legal retention obligation applies.

Send requests to info@timexpertise.nl. We may request information to verify your identity carefully. We normally respond within one month. You may also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
