Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Expat Essentials, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

2. Data We Collect

As an informational platform, we aim to collect as little personal data as possible. We may collect:

• Usage Data: Information on how you interact with our website (e.g., pages visited, time spent).
• Cookie Data: We use minimal cookies to manage your preferences (like dismissing the cookie banner) and for affiliate tracking.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as your name, BSN, address, or financial details.

3. Affiliate Links

Expat Essentials is an affiliate platform. When you click on links to external service providers (such as health insurance or banks) and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. Clicking these links may place a third-party tracking cookie in your browser to attribute the sale to our website. We do not have access to the personal information you share with these external providers.

4. Data Storage and Security

We use local storage (on your device) to remember your cookie preferences. Any usage analytics are anonymized where possible. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal data we might hold about you. Since we generally do not collect identifying personal data, you can exercise your privacy rights primarily by clearing the cookies in your browser.
