When you join the mailing list, the website may collect:
- your first name;
- your email address;
- the date or time of your subscription;
- information about your interaction with emails, where this information is made available by the email service provider.
This information is used to send occasional emails about new books, releases, and related author news.
The legal basis for processing this information is your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in an email or by contacting Stan Hendriks through the website’s contact form.
Contact form
When you use the contact form, the website collects the information you provide, which may include:

This information is used to read and respond to your enquiry and, where necessary, to maintain relevant correspondence.
The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest in responding to messages and conducting ordinary author-related communication.
Please do not submit sensitive personal information through the contact form.
Website and email service provider
This website is created and hosted using Author Websites by BookBub, a service operated by Pubmark Inc.
BookBub and its service providers may process personal information as necessary to host the website, operate forms, manage mailing-list subscriptions, deliver emails, prevent misuse, provide technical support, and maintain the security of their services.
Information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States. Where required by applicable data-protection law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.
BookBub’s own privacy policy provides further information about its data-processing practices.
Cookies and technical information
The website platform may use cookies or similar technologies to operate the website, maintain security, process forms, remember preferences, and understand how visitors use the website.
The platform may automatically receive technical information such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device type;
- operating system;
- pages visited;
- date and time of access;
- interactions with the website.
Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function. Others may be used for analytics, performance, social-media features, or similar purposes.
Where consent is legally required for non-essential cookies, visitors should be asked for consent through the website’s cookie banner, settings, or other consent mechanism.
Stan Hendriks does not independently use personal information collected through this website for personalised advertising.
BookBub states that its services may use essential cookies, analytics and performance cookies, social-media cookies, and—in some contexts—technologies relating to interest-based advertising.
Sharing of information
Personal information is not sold by Stan Hendriks.
Information may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, mailing list, contact form, and email service, or where disclosure is required by law.
These providers may include Author Websites by BookBub and companies providing:
- website hosting;

These service providers may process information only as necessary to provide their services or meet legal obligations.
How long information is kept
Mailing-list information is kept until you unsubscribe, withdraw your consent, or request deletion, unless continued retention is required for legal, security, or administrative reasons.
Contact-form messages are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry and maintain relevant correspondence.
Limited information may be retained where necessary to demonstrate that an unsubscribe, objection, or deletion request has been respected.
Your rights
Depending on applicable data-protection law, you may have the right to:
- request access to your personal information;
- correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- request deletion of your information;
- restrict or object to certain processing;
- withdraw your consent at any time;

To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact form at:
You may be asked to provide enough information to confirm your identity before a request is completed.
If you are located in the Netherlands, you may also submit a complaint to the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
The GDPR requires privacy information to be clear, accessible, and to explain matters such as the purposes of processing, legal bases, recipients, retention, and individual rights.
Unsubscribing
You may unsubscribe from the mailing list at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in each marketing email.
After you unsubscribe, limited information may be retained solely to ensure that no further marketing emails are sent to you and to maintain an accurate suppression record.

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including booksellers, social platforms, and other external services.
Those websites have their own privacy policies and data-processing practices. Stan Hendriks is not responsible for how external websites collect, use, or protect personal information.

Personal information from children is not knowingly collected. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through this website, please use the contact form to request its deletion.
Security
Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
