Privacy statement

Zorgfuik collects experiences to reveal patterns. Not to sell personal data, forward case files or push people back into a bureaucratic swamp.

🔒 Stories are never forwarded to any organisation. We use experiences to reveal patterns.

What we do

Collect experiences, recognise patterns, handle data with care and inform people when they ask us to.

What we do not do

Sell personal data, forward reports to organisations or take over individual cases.

Privacy in plain language

Share only what is needed to understand how you got stuck. Names of doctors, staff or family members, citizen service numbers (BSN), medical records or copies of ID are not needed.

Visitor statistics are collected with Google Analytics only after you consent. Read the cookie policy or change your choice at any time through the footer.

The commitments

Privacy statement, Zorgfuik

Last updated: 28 July 2026. Below is exactly what we do and do not do with data, in plain language, with no small print.

1. Who is responsible?

Stichting Zorgfuik is responsible for personal data processed through this website. Questions about privacy? Email privacy@zorgfuik.nl or call +31 30 227 34 91.

2. What data do we process?

Visiting the website. Zorgfuik uses no accounts and no advertising. Cas ICT hosts the website and processes standard technical log data, such as IP addresses, when this is needed to deliver and secure the site. Webalizer creates aggregated statistics from those server logs and places no separate cookie.

Google Analytics. Only after consent, Zorgfuik.nl uses Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are read, where visits generally start and which important functional buttons are used. Google may process technical information such as the browser, device category, broad location and connection IP address. Zorgfuik does not use Google Signals, User-ID, advertising personalisation or remarketing. No consent means that Analytics is not loaded.

Click-through links. Some buttons and links pass through link.zorgfuik.nl, a service provided by short.io. We use it only to count how often a link is clicked, aggregated numbers, so we can see which topics resonate. We do not link those numbers to individuals. When redirecting, short.io processes technical data (such as IP addresses) in accordance with its own privacy policy.

Sharing your experience. The experience form runs through Tally. We process only what you choose to enter, and we expressly ask you not to share unnecessary personal data: no citizen service numbers, no medical records, no names of care workers or family members. Stories are used exclusively in anonymised or summarised form to reveal patterns.

The objection-letter generator. Information entered in the generator stays in your browser. It is not sent to Zorgfuik or Google Analytics.

The petition. Signing takes place through Petities.nl, which is itself the controller for that processing and has its own privacy statement. Your name is not publicly visible on Zorgfuik. When the petition is submitted to its recipient (for instance the Dutch House of Representatives), certain details may be needed to verify that signatures are genuine.

Contact. If you email, call or message us, we use your details only to answer your question.

3. Why, and on what legal basis?

We rely on legitimate interests for secure hosting, technical logs and aggregated server statistics. Google Analytics is based on your consent. Sharing an experience is also based on consent, which you can withdraw. Contact details are processed so we can answer your question or request.

4. Who do we share data with?

We never sell data. Experiences are not forwarded to doctors, municipalities, insurers, care providers, Veilig Thuis or any other organisation. We use only services needed to run and understand the website: Cas ICT for hosting, Google for Analytics after consent, short.io for click-through links and Tally for the experience form. We share no more with them than is necessary.

5. How long do we keep data?

Technical log files are kept only as long as needed for security and reliable operation. Google Analytics cookies are limited to one year from the first measured visit and are not extended on every later visit. User and event data in Google Analytics is retained for no more than fourteen months. Shared experiences are kept for as long as needed to reveal patterns, or until you ask for them to be deleted. Contact messages are kept no longer than needed to deal with your question.

6. Your rights

You have the right to access your data, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict processing and to object. You can withdraw Analytics consent at any time through . Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before withdrawal. To exercise your other rights, email privacy@zorgfuik.nl; we respond as quickly as possible, and within one month at the latest. If you are not satisfied, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

7. Security and changes

The connection to this website is encrypted (https) and we deliberately collect as little as possible. If this statement changes, we update the date above and explain significant changes on the news page. More detail about Analytics, cookies and changing your choice is available in the cookie policy.

Want to help?

Sign the petition, share your experience or pass Zorgfuik on. The foundation now being set up is also looking for people to get involved, including board members.

No data grabbing

Trust is not a side issue

We know that many people who recognise the care trap have lost trust before: through poor handovers, unclear case files, desks pointing at each other or organisations that mainly ask for yet more proof. That is why we ask no more than necessary and use stories only to reveal patterns.

Zorgfuik never sells personal data. Stories are not forwarded to the organisations involved. Publication only ever happens anonymised or summarised.
