Privacy policy

Who we are

Modelbouwkortingen.nl automatically collects deals from RC and scale model web shops. We are responsible for processing personal data on this website.

Just browsing

You can use the site without an account. To show pages and prevent abuse (for example a limit on the contact form), our server processes technically necessary data such as your IP address. We do not store your IP address and do not link it to you.

Your watchlist and your choice of a light or dark theme are stored only in your own browser. On the watchlist page the product IDs are sent along to show the products; we do not store them.

Deal emails and price alerts

If you sign up for the daily deal email or a price alert, we store your email address, the language you signed up in, your preferences (categories, shops, minimum discount) or the product and target price of your alert, and when you signed up and confirmed.

We only use this to send you the emails you asked for. The legal basis is your consent: you confirm your sign-up via a link in your inbox (double opt-in). Every email contains a link to unsubscribe or stop your alert.

Account

If you create an account, we store your email address, a hashed form of your password, the language you registered in, when you created, confirmed and last logged in to your account, and the products on your watchlist. Your price alerts and deals email belong to the same email address and are shown in your account.

We only use this to make your account work. The legal basis is our agreement with you: you choose to create an account. You can delete your account yourself at any time; we then immediately erase the account, your watchlist, your price alerts and your deals email subscription.

Deals in Discord

If you connect a Discord webhook, we store the webhook URL, the name Discord returns for the webhook, your language and your preferences, to post new deals in your channel. You can stop this via the unsubscribe link in the welcome message.

Contact form

If you send us a message, we store your name, email address, subject and message to answer your question.

Visitor statistics

We count which pages are viewed, using our own statistics and without cookies. For each view we store the page, the language, the type of device (mobile, tablet or desktop) and, if you came from another site, the name of that site. To avoid counting a visitor twice on the same day, we turn your IP address and browser into a code using a key that is replaced every day and then deleted; we do not store your IP address itself, and after that day the code can no longer be traced back to you. We keep this data for just over a year and do not share it with anyone.

Clicks to shops

When you click through to a shop, we count that click per product, shop and source (site, email, Discord, …), without your IP address or any other data about you. Some links contain a partner code from the shop. At the shop, that shop's privacy policy applies.

Cookies

Functional cookies and storage, which need no consent: the NEXT_LOCALE cookie remembers your language (1 year); when you log in, the mbk_sessie cookie keeps you logged in (30 days); your watchlist and theme are stored in your browser.

Advertising: we show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies and use data about your visit for this, for example to tailor ads to your interests. In the European Economic Area this only happens with your consent, which you give or refuse in Google's cookie notice. You can change your choice at any time with the button below or via 'Cookie settings' at the bottom of every page.

Who we share data with

We never sell your data. We use an email provider to send email, Discord messages go through Discord, and ads through Google. They only process data for that task. We have product names from German and French shops translated by Amazon Translate; no personal data is included.

How long we keep data

We keep your email address, webhook or contact message for as long as you use the service. If you unsubscribe or stop an alert, we mark that and send nothing more. If you want us to delete your data completely, let us know and we will.

Your rights

You have the right to access, correct and delete your data, and you can object or withdraw your consent. If you are not happy with how we handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or the authority in your own country.
