Privacy and Cookie Statement

The Dutch Chemometrics Society (“DCS”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and handles personal data with care, in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR / AVG) and applicable Dutch cookie rules.

We may process personal data when you use this website, subscribe to our mailing list, or contact us. This may include technical information about your visit, your cookie preferences, your email address if you sign up for updates, and any information you send to us in a message.

We use this data to keep the website working properly, improve the website, manage the mailing list, and respond to questions or requests. Where required, we only use analytics cookies after you have given consent through the cookie banner. Under Dutch cookie rules, functional cookies may be placed without consent, while non-essential cookies generally require consent.

If you subscribe to the DCS mailing list, we use your email address to send newsletters and updates about society activities. We keep this data until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it.

If you give consent, this website may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website and to help us improve it. Google states that for users in the European Union, Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses and removes them before logging. Google Analytics retention settings should match the configuration in your own account, so only publish a specific retention period if you have verified it in your setup.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device to help the website function properly, remember preferences, and, where consent is given, measure website use. You can change your cookie preferences at any time through the cookie settings on the website or through your browser settings.

We do not sell your personal data. Where necessary, we may use service providers for hosting, mailing services, or analytics. If data is processed outside the European Economic Area, this will only take place with appropriate safeguards in place.

We do not keep personal data longer than necessary. Mailing-list data is kept until you unsubscribe. Contact data is kept for as long as needed to handle your message. Analytics data is kept according to the retention settings actually configured in the relevant service.

Under the GDPR / AVG, you may have the right to access your personal data, correct it, delete it, restrict its use, object to its processing, withdraw consent, and, where applicable, request data portability. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. You also have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
