Privacy Statement

OnlineMarketingMan.com – Trade Name of OnlineMarketingMan.net

Version 2.0 | October 19, 2026

OnlineMarketingMan.com values the protection of personal data, confidentiality, and transparency regarding the use of digital data. This Privacy Statement explains which personal data may be processed through this website and our own business activities, for what purposes, on which legal grounds, and what rights individuals have.

OnlineMarketingMan is an initiative-driven e-commerce business focused on developing, operating, and optimizing its own digital concepts. Our activities include niche research, affiliate marketing, dropshipping, online marketing, automation, and collaboration with commercial and operational partners. OnlineMarketingMan.com is not a conventional marketing agency or consulting practice with its own client portfolio. Personal data is processed primarily in connection with website administration, business contacts, our own business operations, and potential collaborations.

This statement applies to OnlineMarketingMan.com and to the personal data for which the operator of this website is responsible. Separate or jointly operated online stores may have their own privacy statements and allocations of responsibility. We process personal data only where an applicable legal basis exists and take into account the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant privacy legislation.

1. Who Is Responsible for Processing Personal Data?

OnlineMarketingMan.com is a trade name of OnlineMarketingMan.net, a Dutch sole proprietorship. Where this business itself determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, OnlineMarketingMan.net is the data controller within the meaning of the GDPR.

Trade name: OnlineMarketingMan.com

Legal business: OnlineMarketingMan.net (sole proprietorship)

Dutch Chamber of Commerce registration: 83950834

VAT identification number: NL003895276B38

Business address: Zwanebloem 3, 5803 LW Venray, the Netherlands

General inquiries: info@onlinemarketingman.com

Privacy inquiries: privacy@onlinemarketingman.com

Website: https://onlinemarketingman.com/

OnlineMarketingMan.net may operate under different trade names and through various commercial initiatives. The use of a shared business name or brand does not automatically mean that all websites, online stores, or collaboration partners involved fall under the same data protection responsibility. The actual organization of the processing activities is decisive.

2. Scope of This Privacy Statement

This Privacy Statement applies to the use of OnlineMarketingMan.com, communications with visitors and prospective collaboration partners, and personal data processed by OnlineMarketingMan.net for its own business purposes within the activities described here.

It covers the administration of this website, publication of blogs and other information, business correspondence, evaluation of collaboration proposals, exploration of commercial initiatives, and business administration.

OnlineMarketingMan may be involved in separate affiliate platforms, dropshipping concepts, or online stores. Where such an initiative has its own website, sales process, or independently operated business, separate privacy terms may apply. Which business is responsible for personal data relating to customers, visitors, suppliers, or other individuals depends on the actual activities and applicable agreements.

Accordingly, this statement does not automatically replace the Privacy Statement of another online store. Likewise, mentioning or linking to an external platform does not mean that OnlineMarketingMan.com collects or processes all data associated with that platform.

3. What Personal Data May We Process?

The personal data we process depends on how someone uses our website or communicates with us. We limit collection to data that is necessary and relevant for the particular purpose.

3.1 Website Visitors

When someone visits the website, technical data may be processed, including an IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, the date and time of a request, and information required for website security. Depending on the analytics technologies actually enabled and the visitor’s cookie preferences, website usage and interaction data may also be collected.

3.2 Business Contacts and Collaboration Partners

When someone contacts us, we may process their name, company name, job title, business email address, telephone number, message content, and any attachments. For proposals involving joint e-commerce activities, information about business expertise, proposed products, supplier relationships, commercial plans, and the professional background of the individuals involved may also be relevant.

3.3 Business Operations and Administration

In connection with business arrangements, payments, or collaborations, contact details, correspondence, contractual information, financial information, invoicing data, and other necessary administrative data may be processed. These details primarily concern business relationships but may contain personal data relating to individual entrepreneurs or representatives of organizations.

3.4 Affiliate and E-Commerce Data

For our own commercial initiatives, performance data, sales statistics, product data, supplier information, and marketing results may be analyzed. Where possible, we use aggregated data or information that cannot be linked to identifiable individuals. If processing nevertheless involves personal data, a valid legal basis is required.

3.5 Special Categories of Personal Data

We do not ask website visitors or business contacts to provide special categories of personal data, such as medical information, religious beliefs, or biometric data, for our ordinary website and business activities. Please do not send such information through regular email or a contact form. If special-category personal data is received unintentionally, we assess what security, deletion, or other measures are legally necessary.

4. Processing Purposes and Legal Bases

We process personal data only where an applicable legal basis exists under Article 6 of the GDPR. The specific legal basis depends on the purpose and circumstances of the processing. In business communications, for example, there may be a legitimate interest in responding to inquiries or evaluating collaboration proposals. Certain optional marketing or tracking activities require consent.

When we rely on a legitimate interest, we assess whether the processing is necessary and proportionate and whether the interests or fundamental rights of the individuals concerned override that interest. The business nature of our activities does not, in itself, provide an unrestricted legal basis for collecting, combining, or using personal data.

5. Business Contacts and Collaboration Proposals

OnlineMarketingMan may receive proposals from entrepreneurs, suppliers, distributors, technology companies, and other parties seeking to collaborate on digital commercial initiatives. We process the personal data necessary to evaluate such proposals and communicate about them.

Receiving an inquiry or commercial proposal does not mean that a collaboration has been established. If no collaboration is entered into, we do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the assessment and any reasonable follow-up correspondence.

If a proposal results in an actual collaboration, additional personal data may be required for entering into contracts, operational coordination, administration, and compliance with legal obligations. Where necessary, responsibilities for processing personal data are separately documented between collaboration partners.

We do not automatically use contact details received in connection with a specific collaboration proposal for unrelated marketing campaigns, commercial databases, or other purposes incompatible with the original processing.

6. Our Own E-Commerce Initiatives and Joint Ventures

OnlineMarketingMan develops and optimizes e-commerce concepts on its own initiative and may collaborate with other businesses. Activities may include market research, product positioning, online store development, marketing automation, data-driven optimization, and international distribution.

In joint initiatives, each party’s role is determined by its actual control over the processing of personal data. Where OnlineMarketingMan.net independently determines the purposes and means of processing, it acts as the data controller. Where those decisions are made jointly with another party, joint controllership may arise.

If an external party processes personal data solely on the instructions of the responsible business, that party may act as a data processor. Where legally required, appropriate data processing agreements or arrangements governing joint controllership are established.

Participation in a joint business concept does not automatically confer the right to access, copy, transfer, or use customers’, visitors’, or suppliers’ personal data without restriction for one’s own commercial purposes.

7. Customer Data of Separate Online Stores, Including PadelMoves

PadelMoves.com is an example of an e-commerce initiative in which OnlineMarketingMan collaborates with another business. Visitors may be directed from OnlineMarketingMan.com to that online store, but visiting OnlineMarketingMan.com does not mean that they have already placed an order or entered into a customer relationship with an online store.

When someone places an order through a separate online store, personal data may be processed, including a name, delivery address, email address, order details, payment information, and data needed for shipping, returns, or customer service. The business or jointly responsible parties acting as controllers of that processing are determined by the actual operation of the online store, control over the processing, and applicable agreements.

The Privacy Statement of the online store concerned must clearly identify the party or parties responsible for processing customer and order data, the external payment and logistics providers involved, and the privacy rights customers can exercise.

OnlineMarketingMan.com does not automatically serve as a centralized customer database for every online store in which OnlineMarketingMan is involved. To the extent OnlineMarketingMan.net has access to personal data within a joint initiative, that access may be used only for lawful, defined purposes and with appropriate security.

In dropshipping arrangements, the privacy obligations of the actual seller and other parties involved continue to apply. The fact that shipping or order fulfillment is performed by an external supplier does not automatically eliminate responsibility for personal data.

8. Affiliate Marketing and Referrals to External Websites

OnlineMarketingMan has experience in affiliate marketing and may link to its own or external commercial platforms. Affiliate activities may generate a commission when a visitor makes a purchase or completes another agreed commercial action through a referral.

An affiliate referral may involve technical identifiers, campaign references, click data, or other measurement methods. Depending on the technology used, personal data may be processed. Valid prior consent must be obtained for cookies or similar technologies where consent is legally required.

When a visitor opens an external website, its operator may process personal data independently. Processing on that external website falls under the responsibility of the relevant party or parties, in accordance with their own Privacy Statement and applicable law.

We do not sell the personal data of OnlineMarketingMan.com visitors as a standalone commercial product. The existence of affiliate commissions or commercial collaborations likewise does not mean that personal data may be freely shared between businesses without an appropriate legal basis.

9. Cookies, Analytics, and Website Behavior

OnlineMarketingMan.com may use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the technical functioning of the website, support security measures, and gain insight into website usage. Depending on the services actually enabled, analytics or marketing technologies may also be used.

Functional and strictly necessary cookies may be used without prior consent where permitted by applicable law. Other cookies and similar technologies require prior consent where the law so provides. Rejecting nonessential cookies must be as easy as accepting them.

The technical setup of the website, including any analytics or advertising services, must respect visitors’ choices. Merely providing a Cookie Statement or cookie banner is insufficient if nonessential technologies remain active despite a refusal.

More information about cookie categories, providers, retention periods, and how to change preferences is available in the separate Cookie Statement of OnlineMarketingMan.com on this website.

10. External Service Providers and Recipients of Personal Data

We may use external service providers to operate and secure the website, conduct business communications, and support our own business activities. These may include website hosting, technical maintenance, email, cloud storage, security, website analytics, and business administration providers.

Not every provider automatically receives personal data relating to all visitors. Actual processing depends on the services used, their configuration, and the nature of the data concerned.

Where a provider processes personal data on behalf of OnlineMarketingMan.net, appropriate arrangements are made, where required, regarding confidentiality, security, processing, retention periods, and any subprocessors. Where an external party independently determines the purposes of processing, that party must assess its own responsibilities under the GDPR.

Personal data may also be disclosed to competent authorities where a legal obligation requires it. We do not disclose more information than is necessary for the relevant lawful purpose.

11. Artificial Intelligence and Automated Processing

OnlineMarketingMan focuses on automation, digital business models, and AI-related developments. Digital tools and AI systems may be used in our own analyses, content development, market research, and the organization of business information.

We aim to avoid providing personal data or confidential information to external AI services unless necessary. Where the use of such services involves personal data, we assess the legal basis, data minimization, applicable provider terms, security, and any international data transfers.

Where possible, we use nonpersonal, aggregated, or anonymized information for commercial analyses and digital experiments. Personal data must not be used for new, incompatible purposes without an appropriate legal basis.

Using AI for analysis or support does not automatically mean that OnlineMarketingMan.net makes solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on individuals. If such decision-making is actually introduced, we will first assess which additional information, rights, and safeguards are legally required.

12. International Processing and Data Transfers

OnlineMarketingMan operates in an international digital environment. Some technology companies, e-commerce platforms, or other service providers involved may be established outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or may access data from outside the EEA.

Transfers of personal data outside the EEA require a valid transfer mechanism. Depending on the circumstances, this may be an adequacy decision by the European Commission or appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, supplemented by additional measures where necessary.

Using a European hosting location does not automatically mean that all processing takes place exclusively within the EEA. Access by vendors, remote support, and subprocessors may also be relevant.

When assessing digital services, we consider the actual data flows, the nature of the personal data, and the risks to individuals.

13. Retention Periods and Data Minimization

We do not retain personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, unless a legal obligation or other valid legal basis justifies a longer retention period. When setting retention periods, we take into account the nature of the data, the business relationship, and any legal or contractual obligations.

Inquiries and nonbinding collaboration proposals: data is retained for as long as necessary to respond, evaluate, and conduct reasonable follow-up. As a general rule, the maximum retention period is two years after the last substantive contact, unless earlier deletion is appropriate or longer retention is necessary and lawful.

Data relating to ongoing business collaborations: such data is retained for as long as necessary to perform, administer, and conclude the relevant arrangements. After that, further retention occurs only where there is a valid reason.

Financial records: data subject to Dutch tax recordkeeping requirements is generally retained for seven years. Different statutory periods may apply to specific administrative records.

Website and security data: technical data is retained for the period necessary for website administration, security, troubleshooting, and any legal obligations. The actual settings of hosting and security systems are relevant.

Cookies and analytics data: retention periods depend on the technologies actually used and their settings. Where relevant, these periods are explained separately in the Cookie Statement.

When personal data is no longer needed and no valid retention obligation or other legal basis applies, it is deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled lawfully.

14. Data Security and Protection

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, unlawful alteration, and other relevant security risks. Measures are tailored to the nature of the processing and the risks to individuals.

Relevant measures may include secure connections, managed access permissions, strong authentication, up-to-date software, appropriate backup arrangements, and restricting access to individuals or service providers who genuinely need it.

When personal data is processed within a joint business initiative, the allocation of access permissions and operational responsibilities must also be assessed. Not every collaboration partner needs access to complete customer databases, technical logs, or payment details.

In the event of a potential personal data breach, we investigate the nature of the event, the data involved, the risks to individuals, and the measures required. Where legally required, the competent supervisory authority and affected individuals are informed in a timely manner.

15. Your Rights Under the GDPR

Where OnlineMarketingMan.net processes your personal data as a controller, you may exercise various data protection rights subject to applicable legal conditions. These include the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of valid consent before its withdrawal.

You may object to processing based on a legitimate interest. You may object to processing for direct marketing at any time; following a valid objection, your personal data will no longer be processed for that purpose.

Send requests relating to the processing of personal data to privacy@onlinemarketingman.com. We generally respond within one month of receipt. Where a request is complex or several requests are received at the same time, this period may be extended by up to two additional months under the conditions of the GDPR. In that case, we will inform you promptly of the extension and its reasons.

To prevent unauthorized access to personal data, we may request additional information where necessary to verify your identity. We do not request more information than is necessary for reliable identification.

Where your request concerns personal data for which a separate online store operator is responsible, we may refer you to the relevant controller or, where appropriate and lawful, help direct the request to the correct party.

If you believe that your personal data is being processed unlawfully, you may lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or another competent European supervisory authority.

16. Data From Other Sources, Minors, and Changes

16.1 Data From Other Sources

In connection with our own business activities, OnlineMarketingMan may obtain business contact information or information about potential collaboration partners from professional networks, public company websites, trade registers, or other business contacts. Where this information includes personal data, we assess whether the processing is necessary, proportionate, and lawful.

Where personal data has not been obtained directly from the individual, we comply with applicable GDPR transparency obligations, including, where required, information about the source, categories of data, and purposes of processing.

16.2 Minors

OnlineMarketingMan.com focuses on entrepreneurship, e-commerce, and business collaborations and is not specifically intended for minors. We ask minors not to provide personal data without appropriate consent or another valid legal basis where legally required. If we discover that data has been received unlawfully, we assess which measures are necessary.

16.3 Changes to This Privacy Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement when our activities, website configuration, relevant technologies, collaboration arrangements, or legal requirements change. The most recent version will be published on OnlineMarketingMan.com with its version date.

Where changes have a material impact on the processing of personal data, we assess whether additional information or new consent is necessary. Updating this statement does not, in itself, create a new legal basis for processing.
