Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 August 2026

NineLine C·I·E B.V. (“NineLine”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This statement explains what personal data we collect through www.nineline.nl, why we collect it, and what rights you have. We process personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who we are

NineLine C·I·E B.V. is a defence and security consultancy established in the Netherlands. We are the controller for the personal data described in this statement.

For any question about this statement or about your personal data, contact us at info@nineline.nl.

What we collect, and why

Contact form

When you send us a message through the contact form, we collect:

  • your first and last name;
  • your email address;
  • your organisation;
  • the topic you select;
  • the content of your message.

We use this solely to answer your enquiry and, where relevant, to follow up on it. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us, and where your enquiry concerns a possible engagement, the steps taken at your request prior to entering into a contract.

Form submissions are delivered to us by email. They are not stored in the website’s database. The resulting email correspondence is retained in our mailbox for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and to meet any applicable retention obligations.

Server logs

Our hosting provider keeps standard technical access logs, which include IP addresses, for security, abuse prevention and troubleshooting. These logs are kept for a limited period and are not used to profile visitors.

Cookies

This website does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

If you make a choice in our consent banner, that choice is stored in a functional cookie so we do not ask you again on every visit. You can change or withdraw it at any time via the “Manage consent” option.

If you log in to the website as an administrator, WordPress sets functional cookies that are strictly necessary to keep you signed in. These are not used for any other purpose.

Third parties

We do not sell personal data and we do not share it for marketing purposes. We rely on the following parties to operate this website:

  • Hosting. Our website and email are hosted in the Netherlands. Our hosting provider acts as a processor on our behalf.
  • Website maintenance. Our web agency has technical access to the website in order to maintain it, and acts as a processor on our behalf.

Fonts

All typefaces used on this website are served from our own server. No font data is requested from third-party services, so your IP address is not shared with a font provider when you visit this site.

Links to other websites

Our website links to third-party sites, such as LinkedIn. This privacy statement does not apply to those sites. We encourage you to read their own privacy statements.

Security

This website is served over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to request access to your personal data, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to receive it in a portable form. To exercise any of these rights, email info@nineline.nl. We will respond within one month.

If you believe we handle your personal data incorrectly, you may lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Changes to this statement

We may update this statement to reflect changes to the website or to legal requirements. The date at the top indicates when it was last revised.
