Who I am
Last updated: 20 September 2026
This website is operated by Daniel Veld, registered in the Netherlands (KvK 70385955, VAT NL002377636B34). The website address is https://danielveld.com. For any question about this policy or your data, email daniel@danielveld.com.
What I collect and why
Contact form: When you use the contact form, I collect your name, email address, the link to your game, what kind of work you are looking for, when you need the audio, what your audio budget is, and the content of your message. I use this only to respond to your enquiry and, if we work together, to carry out the project. The legal basis is my legitimate interest in answering enquiries and, once a project starts, the performance of a contract.
Email: If you email me directly, I keep that correspondence for the same reasons.
I do not collect anything else. There is no account system, no comment section and no newsletter.
How long I keep your information
Enquiries that do not lead to work are deleted within two years.
Correspondence and records relating to projects I have worked on are kept for seven years, which is the retention period Dutch tax law requires for business administration.
Who else has access
Your data is stored and transmitted by services I use to run this site and my business:
- Strato AG (Germany), which hosts this website and its database
- Microsoft (Exchange Online and OneDrive), which delivers and stores my email and hosts the files and records relating to my work
Both act as processors on my behalf. I do not sell your data and I do not share it with anyone else, unless I am legally required to.
Content embedded from other websites
This site embeds a video player from YouTube, a store widget from Steam and a music player from Bandcamp. These services can collect data about you, including your IP address, and may set their own cookies, exactly as if you had visited their websites directly. I have no control over what they collect. Their own privacy policies apply:
- Bandcamp: https://bandcamp.com/privacy
- Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full
- YouTube (Google): https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Steam (Valve): https://store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement/
Donations: If you donate through the PayPal button, PayPal processes the payment. I do not see or store your card or bank details. I do see your name, email address and the amount, which I keep as part of my business administration for the seven years Dutch tax law requires.
Cookies and analytics
I use Koko Analytics, a self-hosted analytics tool. It runs on my own server, stores only aggregated visitor counts in this website’s database, and does not send anything to third parties. No IP addresses are stored and no data is used to identify individual visitors.
This site sets no tracking cookies of its own.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to ask me for a copy of the personal data I hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it deleted, to restrict how I use it, and to object to my use of it. Email daniel@danielveld.com and I will respond within one month.
If you are not satisfied with how I handle your request, you can file a complaint with the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens: https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
