Privacy
The short version: I collect as little as possible, I don't sell your data, and there are no advertising trackers on this site. Last updated 9 October 2026.
This site, derkdegeus.com, is run by Derk de Geus, based in The Hague, Netherlands. Questions about your data? Email hello@derkdegeus.com.
If you subscribe, your email address (and first name, if you give it) is stored and processed by Kit (ConvertKit) so I can send you the free songbook and updates. You can unsubscribe from any email, which takes you off the list. I don't share the list with anyone.
I use Umami to count visits. It's privacy-friendly: no cookies, no cross-site tracking, no personal data. The numbers are aggregate - page views, rough location, where visitors came from - and tell me what's read, not who you are.
If you email me - for booking, press, or anything else - I keep that correspondence so I can reply and follow up.
A few services help run the site, and they handle data under their own policies: Kit (newsletter), Vercel (hosting), Google Fonts (typography), and YouTube (embedded videos, which may set cookies once you play one). I keep their use to a minimum.
You can ask to see, correct, or delete the data I hold about you - mainly your newsletter email or an email thread between us. Email hello@derkdegeus.com and I'll sort it out.
If this policy changes, I'll update the date at the top.
