Who we share it with

We do not sell personal data. We use the following service providers, who process data on our behalf under a data processing agreement:

Google (Firebase Hosting and Cloud Functions): hosts the website and handles the forms. The form service runs in the EU (Belgium).
Resend: delivers the messages you send through our forms, including attachments, to our inbox.
Our email provider: stores the messages we receive and send.
Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd.): usage statistics, only if you have accepted it.
Google Fonts: the fonts on the website are loaded from Google's servers, which receive your IP address when a page is loaded.

Some of these providers are based in the United States or may process data there. In those cases, the transfer is based on the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Cookies and local storage

We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not use Google Analytics for advertising or profiling. The website stores the following in your browser:

linje-lang (local storage, necessary): remembers your language choice. Kept until you clear it.
linje-consent (local storage, necessary): remembers your answer to the cookie banner. Kept until you clear it or change your choice.
_ga and _ga_* (cookies, Google Analytics, only after "Accept all"): distinguish visitors so we can count visits and see which pages are used. Kept for up to two years.

If you choose "Only necessary", Google Analytics is not loaded and no analytics cookies are set. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses. You can change your choice at any time. If you withdraw your consent, the analytics cookies are deleted.

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. You can also object to or ask us to limit our processing, ask for your data in a portable format, and withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, email us at post@linjeconsulting.com.
