Privacy
Privacy policy
The short version: this website sets no cookies and runs no analytics. The only personal data we process is what you choose to send us through a form. When you send one, we tell Meta that a request came in, without your name, email or phone number. This page explains what happens with it.
Who we are
Drone Stories B.V., Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Questions about your data: info [at] dronestories.com.
What we collect, and why
Contact and proposal forms. When you write to us, we receive the details you fill in (name, company, email address, phone number, and what you tell us about your event). We use them to answer you and to prepare a proposal. Legal basis: taking steps at your request before entering into a contract.
Newsletter. If you subscribe, we store your email address to send you news about our shows. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any newsletter or emailing us. Legal basis: your consent.
Technical data. Our hosting provider records web-server access logs (IP address, requested page, time, browser type) for security and to keep the site running. These logs are not used to profile you.
Where it goes
Form submissions are emailed to our team and stored in a database in our own cloud account, so we can follow up and learn which kinds of events people ask us about. Both run on Amazon Web Services in the European Union (Stockholm region); the website itself is delivered by a content delivery network with servers worldwide.
We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes. Service providers that process data for us (email delivery, hosting) act on our instructions only.
Meta (Facebook and Instagram) advertising
When you submit the contact, proposal or call-back form, our server tells Meta that a request came in, so our ads on Facebook and Instagram can reach people like you. We send the type of request, the page, the time, your IP address and your browser type, because Meta needs those to count the request. We do not send your name, email address, phone number or anything you wrote. Nothing is stored in your browser for this. Meta processes the signal under its own privacy policy. If you do not want this, write to us and we remove it, or use WhatsApp or the phone instead.
Cookies, analytics and embedded content
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising services. Videos on our show pages are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode: nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press play. Once you do, YouTube's own privacy policy applies to that video.
How long we keep it
Enquiries and proposals: for as long as needed to handle your request and, if we work together, for the duration of the project and the legal retention period for business records (seven years in the Netherlands). Newsletter addresses: until you unsubscribe. Access logs: at most 400 days.
Your rights
You can ask us to show, correct, delete or export the personal data we hold about you, to restrict or object to its processing, and to withdraw consent for the newsletter. Email info [at] dronestories.com and we will respond within a month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
Security
The site is served over HTTPS only. Form data travels encrypted, is stored encrypted at rest, and is accessible only to the Drone Stories team.
Changes
If we change how this website handles data, we will update this page. Last revised September 2026, when we started telling Meta about form requests (without contact details).
