Data for an optimal experience

To do this, when you visit Coret Genealogy we collect information about the page you requested, where you came from, your internet browser, language settings and information about the settings of the operating system of the computer or the mobile device with which you visit us. The Google Analytics service is used for this. A processor agreement has been concluded with Google, Google anonymises the IP addresses and does not share the data with third parties.

You can indicate your preferences with us in various places. You can change these preferences yourself at any time.

Data from usage research

We are constantly improving our services and aligning them even better with what customers want. That is why we can use your data (e-mail address) to invite you for a non-binding user survey. The answers given are stored anonymously.

Data to prevent fraud

Nobody is waiting for security incidents and fraud, including us. That is why we use personal data (including IP addresses and search, surfing and buying behavior) to investigate, prevent and combat unauthorized access and fraud.

Social media

If you use social media such as Facebook or Twitter, you can share pages with your friends on your social media account via 'like and share' buttons on Coret Genealogy pages that you like, find useful or useful. Coret Genealogy does not get access to your social media account. We recommend that you carefully read the privacy policies of the social media parties where you have an account so that you know how your data is used and how you can adjust your settings.


With whom is your data shared?

We also engage a few external service providers to help with various things. Sometimes they also need personal data for this. We only share the information that is necessary for the assignment that the external service provider carries out for us. We do not sell your data to these service providers or other third parties. And we conclude agreements with all external service providers in which we agree on what they can do with the data.

The type of work that our external service providers perform for us are:

The government

Sometimes we have to pass on personal data to the government. This can occur first of all if certain government institutions need this information to perform their duties, such as the Tax Authorities. The police or the judicial authorities may also need certain information in the event of fraud or abuse. Finally, certain supervisors can gain access to personal data in the context of an investigation.
