Privacy notice
This notice explains what dataannotationoutsourcing.com does with the project briefs you send through its form and with the statistics it keeps about visits. Last updated 10 November 2026.
Who is responsible
The controller of your personal data is Artha Capital, Haarlemmerweg 888, 1014 BL Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce (KvK) number 97349860.
For any privacy question or request, use the form on the home page: fill in your name, email and company, choose "Other" as data type and task, type "privacy" as volume, choose "Not fixed yet" as deadline and write your request in the description. Requests marked this way are handled as privacy requests only and are never shared with providers. We answer by email.
What the brief form collects
- Your name, work email address and company name.
- Your project details: data type, annotation task, volume, deadline and the description you write.
- Your consent: the exact consent sentence, the time you gave it, and which button or link brought you to the form.
- Your browser's user-agent string, to spot automated spam.
Please don't put personal data about other people, or confidential data samples, in the description. A hidden field on the form catches spam robots; anything sent through it is thrown away.
Why we use it, and on what basis
- To review your brief and reply to you, because you asked us to (steps before a possible agreement, GDPR Article 6(1)(b)).
- To share your brief with annotation providers we select as a match, so they can ask questions or send a quote. We only do this because you ticked the consent box (Article 6(1)(a)). We share the details of your brief and your contact details, nothing else. Each provider that receives it becomes responsible for its own use of your data.
- To keep a record of your consent and to protect the form against abuse (legitimate interest, Article 6(1)(f)).
We do not sell your data, we don't use it for advertising and we don't add you to a mailing list.
Who else handles it
- Our hosting provider, which runs the website and stores briefs in private storage.
- An email delivery service that forwards each brief to us.
- The annotation providers you agreed to, as described above.
Some of these services process data in the United States. Where that happens, transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep a brief and its consent record for 24 months after we last had contact about it, then delete it. If you ask us to delete it sooner, we do so, unless we must keep part of it to meet a legal obligation.
Visit statistics
The site counts visits through its own server, which passes the counts to an analytics provider (EU). It sets no cookies. A random visit ID is kept in your browser's session storage and is gone when you close the tab. We record the pages you view, how far you scroll, clicks on buttons and links on the page, basic browser and screen details, your time zone and the country your connection comes from. Your IP address is used to tell people from automated traffic and to find the country; it is not used to identify you.
Visitors in European time zones are asked first and are only counted if they choose "Allow". You can change your choice at any time with the "Statistics choice" link at the bottom of the home page.
Your rights
You may ask to see, correct or delete your data, to receive a copy, to restrict or object to its use, and you may withdraw your consent at any time; that stops future sharing but doesn't undo sharing that already happened. Send requests through the form as explained above. You may also complain to the Dutch data protection authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or to the authority where you live.
Security
Briefs are sent over an encrypted connection and stored in private storage that only we can open.
