Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Bizou ("we", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data. We are committed to GDPR compliance and transparency.

1. Who we are

Bizou is a career intelligence service operated from Belgium. For privacy-related questions, you can contact us at the email listed in the footer. We act as the data controller for the personal data described below.

2. What data we collect

At this stage (waitlist), we collect only:

  • Your email address, when you join the waitlist.
  • Anonymous analytics, such as page views and country (no personal identifiers).

When the full Bizou service launches, we will also collect career-related information (LinkedIn export, GitHub username, portfolio links, questionnaire answers). This Privacy Policy will be updated before that happens, and you will be notified.

3. Why we collect it

  • To notify you when Bizou launches.
  • To improve the service based on aggregated, anonymous usage patterns.

We do not send marketing emails. You will receive at most one notification when Bizou launches. After that, only emails directly related to a service you actively use.

4. Legal basis (GDPR Article 6)

We process your email on the basis of your consent, given when you submit the waitlist form. You can withdraw consent at any time (see Section 6).

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data. Ever. We share it only with the following infrastructure providers, all of whom are GDPR-compliant:

  • Supabase (database hosting, EU region — Frankfurt)
  • Vercel (website hosting)

Both providers are bound by Data Processing Agreements (DPAs). Your email never leaves the EU.

6. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access the data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your data (right to be forgotten)
  • Export your data (data portability)
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • File a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority (gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be / autoriteprotectiondonnees.be)

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email in the footer. We will respond within 30 days.

7. How long we keep data

Waitlist emails are kept until Bizou launches (or for 18 months, whichever is earlier). After launch, we delete waitlist emails from inactive subscribers within 6 months unless they convert to active users.

8. Cookies

We use only essential cookies (for security and basic functionality). We do not use marketing or tracking cookies. We do not run advertising.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as Bizou evolves. Material changes will be communicated by email to waitlist members.

This is a working document and will be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before public launch.
