linkpreneur You are here because we emailed you
We write to two groups: owners of websites, about placing a link in an existing article, which we pay for (the sections below, up to "How to stop hearing from us"), and businesses that may want such links for their own site (see "If we wrote to your business" at the end). If you have had a message from us and wondered how we got your address, this page is the answer.
Who we are
Linkpreneur is a trading name of R.B. Projecten B.V., Slenterweg 3, 6905 DM Zevenaar, The Netherlands. Chamber of Commerce 59974907, VAT NL853716833B01. Reply to any message from us and it reaches a person.
What we hold
The website you run, an email address, and a name where the site publishes one. If we have corresponded, the messages themselves. Nothing else: we do not buy contact lists, we do not enrich what we have with data from other sources, and we do not build a profile of you.
Where we got it
From your own website, or from a public register such as a domain record. We do not guess addresses from a name-and-domain pattern, and we do not take addresses from sites whose terms forbid it.
Why we may do this
Legitimate interest: approaching a business about a business proposition that concerns what that business publicly does. You can object at any time and we act on it without asking why.
How long we keep it
While the site is a candidate for placements, and for two years after our last contact. If you tell us not to contact you, we keep the minimum needed to remember that, which is the address and the fact itself, and nothing else. That record is permanent on purpose: forgetting it entirely is how somebody gets approached again.
How to stop hearing from us
Reply with a single word. Anything that reads as no is treated as no, permanently, and it applies to every address on your domain rather than only the one we wrote to. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
If we wrote to your business
This part is for businesses we wrote to about buying links for their own website.
Who we are
The company named above: R.B. Projecten B.V., trading as Linkpreneur, Slenterweg 3, 6905 DM Zevenaar, The Netherlands. Chamber of Commerce 59974907, VAT NL853716833B01. Robert Bolder, our founder, sends these messages himself, and a reply reaches him.
Why we wrote
What your company publishes on its website suggested that links in existing articles on other sites could help it be found. That is the service we offer: we find a fitting article on a site we have checked, show you what the publisher charges, and place the link for a fixed fee.
Where we got your details
From your company's public website or its LinkedIn page. We only use work contact details, never a private address, and we never buy contact lists.
What we keep
Your name, your work email address, your company's website, the messages between us, and whether you replied. Nothing else: we do not add data from other sources, we never share your details with anyone, and no decision about you is made automatically.
Why we may do this
Legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): offering our service to a business whose own website suggests it could use it. We weighed that against your interests before writing, and you can object at any time.
How long we keep it
We delete your details 12 months after our last message, unless your company becomes a client, or at once when you ask. If you tell us to stop, we keep only your email address and that you said stop, so we never write to you again.
How to stop, and your rights
Reply "stop", or write to us, and we will not write again. An objection is always honoured, without asking why. You can also ask what we hold about you and have it corrected or deleted, and you can complain to your data protection authority.
