Privacy Policy

Who is responsible

Louis Apers, based in Antwerp, Belgium, is responsible for the personal data described in this policy. You can reach me at ctlm.band@gmail.com.

What data I collect

When you send an inquiry through the booking form, I receive:

• Your first and last name
• Your email address and phone number
• The date, venue and type of your event
• Anything else you write in your message

When you visit the website, the hosting provider automatically processes technical data such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you open. This is needed to deliver the website and keep it secure. To see how many people visit and which pages they view, the website uses Vercel Web Analytics. It places no cookies and does not identify you: visits are counted anonymously and in aggregate, and the data that tells one visit from another is discarded within 24 hours. The website does not use advertising trackers.

How I use your data

I only use your data to:

• Answer your inquiry and check my availability
• Send you a proposal or quote
• Prepare and play your event if you book
• Handle invoicing and meet my legal obligations

I never sell your data and never use it for advertising.

Legal basis

I process your data on the following grounds:

• Steps you ask for before a booking: answering your inquiry and sending a proposal
• Carrying out our agreement once you book
• Legal obligations, such as keeping invoices
• My legitimate interest in keeping the website secure and working properly

Who receives your data

I only share your data with the services needed to run this website and handle your inquiry:

• Vercel: hosts the website, processes the booking form and counts visits anonymously (Vercel Web Analytics)
• Google: stores your inquiry in a Google Sheet and delivers it to my Gmail inbox

These providers only process your data on my behalf. Some are based in the United States; they use safeguards approved by the European Commission, such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses.

Videos

The videos on this website are played through YouTube. The YouTube player only loads when you press play; from that moment Google’s privacy policy applies.

How long I keep your data

Inquiries that don’t lead to a booking are deleted within one year. For confirmed bookings, I keep the details and invoices for as long as Belgian accounting law requires (currently seven years).

Your rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data I hold about you
• Have incorrect data corrected
• Have your data deleted
• Object to or restrict how your data is used
• Receive your data in a commonly used format

To use any of these rights, email ctlm.band@gmail.com. I will reply within one month.

If you feel your data is not being handled properly, you can file a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (www.dataprotectionauthority.be).

Security

This website uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and inquiries are stored in a password-protected account. No system is completely secure, but I take reasonable measures to protect your data.

Cookies

This website does not place any cookies of its own. You can read more in the Cookie Policy.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed.
