Draft version, 30 October 2026. This text is not final.

Privacy policy

ForMyShelf is a platform where curators show finds from Vinted and Marktplaats. This policy explains which data we keep for that, why, and what you can do about it.

Who we are

ForMyShelf is a service of [BEDRIJFSNAAM], [ADRES], Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number [KVK-NUMMER]. Questions about your data go to [E-MAILADRES] (for now: info@formyshelf.com).

The platform is currently free. If paid subscriptions are introduced, we will add to this policy and announce it in advance.

What data we keep

If you follow a curator. You have no account and no password. We keep:

• your email address, or your Telegram chat number if you follow via Telegram;
• which curator you follow, the language you want messages in, and when you signed up, confirmed or unsubscribed;
• which notifications we sent you and whether they were delivered.

If you are a curator. We keep your name, email address, the address of your shelf, your portrait and your introduction, the email addresses and Telegram chats you link to send in finds, and your finds: the link, title, price, brand, size, condition, description, your own note and the photo. What you send us to post a find (an email or Telegram message) is kept in a log for 90 days so we can trace errors.

If you apply to become a curator. We keep your name, email address, your channel (your Instagram, for example) and your explanation.

On every visit. To prevent abuse of logging in, following and applying, the site counts per IP address how many requests arrive within an hour. Our servers also keep ordinary log files with, among other things, your IP address, the time and the page requested.

Photos and sellers

For each find we copy the photo from the listing on Vinted or Marktplaats to our platform, reduced in size, with a link to the listing itself. That way the find stays visible when the listing disappears. We do not store or show sellers' names.

What we use your data for

• Followers: to send you a confirmation email, notify you of the curator's new finds, and show you those finds before people who don't follow.
• Curators: to show your shelf, let you log in with a link by email, and process your finds.
• Applications: to decide whether to invite you.
• Everyone: to keep the site secure and fix errors.

We do not use your data for advertising and we do not sell it to anyone.

Cookies

The site only uses cookies it needs to work. There are no analytics or advertising cookies, and so there is no cookie banner.

• csrftoken: protects forms.
• sessionid: keeps a curator logged in, for at most 30 days.
• volger_…: remembers in your browser that you follow a curator, so you see the latest finds; for at most one year.
• messages: shows a short message on screen, for example after applying.

Who else processes your data

A few parties process data on our behalf:

• hosting: the servers of STHosting; the site will later move to a server of [BEDRIJFSNAAM];
• email: MXroute sends the platform's emails and receives the emails curators send with finds;
• Telegram: only if you follow or send in finds via Telegram yourself;
• error reports: a Sentry installation run by our developer; email addresses are removed from an error report before it is stored.

Curators see how many followers they have, not who they are.

How long we keep data

• Followers: for as long as you follow. After you unsubscribe we send you nothing more. Your address is then kept with a note that you unsubscribed; if you want it erased completely, email us.
• Curators: until your account is deleted. If you remove a find, we delete its photos.
• Applications: an application is kept, even if it does not lead to a shelf. We delete it on request.
• The log of sent-in finds: 90 days.
• Server log files with IP addresses: the access logs of our front server about five weeks, the error logs at most eleven weeks. The log files of the site itself do not have a fixed retention period yet; we will set one before this text becomes final.

Your rights

You can ask us which data we hold about you, and have it corrected or deleted. You can object to its use and request your data in a file you can take with you. Email [E-MAILADRES]; we reply within one month.

You can always stop following yourself: with the link at the bottom of every email with finds, or with /stop in Telegram.

If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens, autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl).

Changes

If we change this policy, the new version appears on this page. We announce important changes in advance by email to followers and curators.
