What we know about you.And what we do with it.

By topic

1. Who is responsible

   Akela Hub is responsible for the data described on this page. Send any question or request about your data through the contact form. One of us reads it and replies.

2. When you fill in the form

   Your name, your organisation, your email address, your phone number if you give it, your message and any attachment, such as a vacancy or a description of the market. We use it to reply to your message and discuss the assignment with you.

   The form reaches us as an email. It passes through the server this site runs on (Vercel) and is sent by SendGrid. The site itself does not keep your message; afterwards it sits in our mailbox.

3. The spam check

   Before the form is sent, Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person is behind it. For that, Cloudflare receives technical details of your browser and the address of your internet connection. Without the check, most messages would come from robots.

4. Visitor numbers

   We count how often pages are viewed and how visitors arrive, using Vercel Analytics. It works without cookies and without us seeing who you are. That is why this site does not ask for your consent to cookies.

5. Booking a call

   The contact page holds Google's appointment calendar. It only loads when you scroll to it. If you book a call, Google processes your name, your email address and the time you chose, under Google's privacy policy.

6. When you appear in a search

   We search for people and organisations on behalf of our clients. For that we use public professional information, such as someone's current and past roles, their employers and what they have shared publicly about their work.

   If you want to know whether we hold data about you, or want us to remove it, let us know through the contact form.

7. Who else has access

   Besides us, these parties process data on our behalf: Vercel (the site's server and the visitor numbers), SendGrid (sending the form), Cloudflare (the spam check) and Google (the appointment calendar). These are American companies, so some data may end up outside Europe.

8. What you can ask

   You may ask us which data we hold about you, have it corrected or removed, and object to how we use it. Send your request through the contact form.

   If you are not satisfied with how we handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
