8. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
Under the GDPR, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases:
Contractual Necessity
When processing is required to schedule or deliver a service you have requested or purchased, or to take steps before entering into a contract.

When processing is reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain website security, administer our business, or improve our services, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Legal Obligations
When we must retain or process certain information to comply with applicable laws, including tax, accounting, and financial reporting requirements.
Consent
When you have actively agreed to optional processing activities, such as non-essential cookies or certain marketing communications.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your consent was withdrawn.
9. Cookies and Website Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, and, where enabled, understand website performance.
Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website.
Depending on the tools and features enabled on our website, cookies may fall into the following categories:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They may support security, navigation, booking functionality, and other core website features.
Essential cookies do not generally require prior consent when they are strictly necessary to deliver a service you have requested.
Functional Cookies
These cookies may remember preferences or support additional website features and integrations.
Where legally required, we will request your consent before placing non-essential functional cookies.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies may help us understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are visited and how the website performs.
Where analytics cookies are used, we will request consent when required by applicable law.
Marketing Cookies
Marketing cookies may be used by advertising or promotional services to measure campaign effectiveness or support personalized advertising.
If such technologies are enabled, we will request any legally required consent before activating them.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
When you visit our website, you may be presented with a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept, reject, or customize your preferences for non-essential cookies.
Non-essential cookies requiring consent will not be activated unless you have provided that consent.
You may change or withdraw your cookie consent through the website's cookie preference controls, where available.

10. Third-Party Service Providers
GTFO Tours uses trusted third-party platforms to operate its website and deliver services.
These currently include:
- Wix: Website hosting, website functionality, contact forms, booking features, and applicable payment processing.
- Calendly: Consultation scheduling and appointment management.
- Stripe: Consultation payment processing.
These providers may process personal information on our behalf or act as independent data controllers for certain activities, depending on the service and circumstances.
We share information with these providers only as necessary to operate our business, deliver requested services, or meet legal requirements.
We do not sell your personal information.
We may also disclose information where required by applicable law or lawful requests from competent authorities.
11. International Data Transfers
Some of the third-party services we use may process or store personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), including in the United States.
Where the GDPR applies and international transfers occur, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms as required by applicable data protection laws.
Depending on the provider and circumstances, these mechanisms may include adequacy decisions, applicable certification frameworks, or Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
Further information about international data processing and transfer safeguards is available in the privacy policies of our service providers.
12. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and applicable requirements.
For example:
- Contact Form Submissions: May be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to manage the inquiry and any related business communications.
- Consultation and Booking Records: May be retained for service administration and legitimate business recordkeeping.
- Financial and Transaction Records: Are retained for the period required by applicable tax and accounting laws. In the Netherlands, the general statutory retention period for business administration records is seven years, although exceptions may apply.
- Cookie Information: May be retained according to the purpose, type, and duration of the relevant cookie.
When personal information is no longer required, we will delete or anonymize it where reasonably practicable, unless further retention is legally required.
13. Data Security
We take reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss.
Our website and booking systems rely on established third-party platforms that maintain their own security safeguards.
Access to personal information is limited to individuals and providers who reasonably require it for legitimate business purposes.
Although we take appropriate precautions, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
