01Who is responsible

DSNS — Seth Desaunois
Registered in the Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce no. 97704172
info@dsns.ai

02What the intake form collects

Three fields identify you or your business and are required, because without them we cannot come back to you:

  • Your name
  • A link to your shop
  • Email address

Everything else on the form is about the business, and those answers only count as personal data because they arrive attached to the three above: roughly how much customer mail you get, and what eats most of your hours.

Three more things are recorded without you typing them: your IP address, the browser identification your browser sends, and the time of submission. They are there to keep the form usable — spam defence, and being able to work out what went wrong if a submission ever fails to arrive.

Anything the form does not ask for is discarded on arrival and never stored. If something extra is appended to a submission, it never reaches the file.

03Why we're allowed to hold it

You fill the form in to find out whether we can work together, so the legal ground for the answers you type is taking steps at your request before entering into a contract (GDPR article 6.1.b). The IP address, browser identification and timestamp rest on our legitimate interest (article 6.1.f) in keeping a public form from being flooded and in being able to diagnose it if something goes wrong.

We never ask for sensitive data — health, beliefs, anything of that kind — and the form has no field where it would fit.

04Where it goes

A submission takes exactly two paths, and both of them stay inside the EU:

  • A file on our own server. That machine is rented from Hetzner and stands in Falkenstein, Germany. No other business runs on it, it is only reachable over an encrypted connection, and password logins are switched off.
  • A copy by email to info@dsns.ai, so that it can be read and answered. That mailbox runs on Google Workspace, so Google is the one outside party that sees your submission.

Our web server keeps ordinary technical logs of the requests it serves — address, time, page, browser identification.

Beyond the mailbox, nobody else receives it. Nothing in it is sold, passed on, published, or used to train a model.

05If we get on a call

We record our calls. You will hear that from us at the start of the call, before anything is recorded. Say no and we do not record; the call goes ahead either way.

The reason is narrow: what gets agreed in a conversation should not live only in someone's memory. A recording is where a promise made in March is still findable in November. It is also how we learn which questions keep coming up, so the next person gets a better answer.

The recording and the written transcript stay on our own machine. The audio is transcribed on that same machine, so no outside service hears the call. It follows the same clock as the rest of this page: twelve months if nothing comes of it, and for as long as we work together if you become a client. Ask for it to go and it goes, at any point.

06How long we keep it

If nothing comes of it
Twelve months from the day you sent it, then the file and the mail are deleted. Twelve, because a business that was not ready in March is often ready in November. If we are still talking when that year is up, the clock starts again at our last contact.
If you become a client
For as long as we work together, and after that for as long as the law requires us to keep our administration — seven years in the Netherlands for anything with a financial side.
Technical logs
Three months at most. They exist to catch abuse and to explain a failure, and both of those are questions that are answered within days.

You do not have to wait for any of those terms. Ask, and it goes.

07Cookies and trackers

This site sets no cookies and keeps no identifier on your device. We do run one small, self-hosted counter — how many people visited, which page, and roughly where they came from (the referring site, not the full link) — built the same way as everything else on this page: on our own server, nowhere else. It has nothing to opt out of because there is nothing to link back to you: no cookie, no local storage, no persistent ID. A visit is counted by hashing your IP address and browser identification together with a value that changes every day, so the same visit on two different days produces two unrelated numbers and neither can be reversed back into an IP address.

No advertising pixel, no session recording, no analytics service run by anyone else, and nothing loaded from someone else's server on this point either — the counter is our own code, not a third party's script.

Two links do leave the site when you click them, and only then: the WhatsApp button hands you to WhatsApp, and a link to your own shop opens your shop. From that click on, whoever runs that destination decides what happens.

08What you can ask us to do

The GDPR gives you a set of rights over your own data, and there is no procedure standing between you and them:

  • See it — a copy of everything we hold about you.
  • Correct it — anything wrong, put right.
  • Delete it — the file and the mail, gone, unless the law says we have to keep a particular record.
  • Take it with you — your submission in a machine-readable file.
  • Object — to the handling that rests on our legitimate interest.

Mail info@dsns.ai. You usually have an answer the same week, and never later than a month. Unhappy with how we handled it? You can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

09Client data is a different thing entirely

This page covers the intake form and this website. It does not cover what happens once we build something for you.

When an agent runs for a client, it works on that client's own data on that client's own server — their customer mail, their orders, their figures. There we are the processor and the client is the controller: they decide what happens to it, we only carry it out. That relationship belongs in a written data processing agreement, signed before anything is connected, and it is a separate document from this one.

How that side is built — what an agent may do, who else sees anything, and what we do not claim — is on the legal page, alongside the Service Agreement and Data Processing Agreement.

10Changes

When this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a change affects what happens to a submission we already hold, whoever sent it hears about it by mail rather than by a quiet edit.
