Who is responsible for this website

Legal controller: Alexander van Helden, trading as Duik met Lex
KVK: 87542498
Registered address: Langeweg 134, 3241 KB Middelharnis, The Netherlands
Privacy contact: divewithlex@gmail.com

Duik met Lex is responsible for this website and for the Analytics configuration described on this page. You can also use our Contact page for a privacy question or request.

Contact requests, participant details and WhatsApp

The Contact page helps you prepare a request to Lex. For a course request, it uses the contact name and email address you enter, the names and dates of birth entered for participants, and your selected courses, instruction language, dates, accommodation and question, where provided. The email address is the contact email for the request; it is not a separate email address for every participant.

You can review the complete message before opening WhatsApp. If you continue, the message is passed to WhatsApp as a draft addressed to Lex. You choose whether to send it in WhatsApp. The website does not automatically send a separate message to Ban’s Diving Resort. Opening the draft does not confirm a booking or mean that Lex has received the request.

Communication in WhatsApp is handled under WhatsApp’s own terms and privacy practices. For a general question, use the question flow; a course request and a general question do not require the same participant details. Please do not include passport copies, medical information or other unnecessary sensitive details in your message. You can contact Lex with a privacy question through the Contact page.

To help arrange your diving course or accommodation, we may share the reservation details needed for your request with Ban’s Diving Resort. This happens manually after you contact Lex; completing a plan does not automatically send your information to Ban’s.

Google Analytics and your choice

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this website and to improve it. Analytics is optional. It stays off until you allow it. If you continue without analytics, our implementation does not load the Google Analytics tag or send Google Analytics measurement data.

What Analytics measures

If you allow analytics, it may measure page views, scrolling, outbound link clicks and file downloads. Google also receives technical information used for measurement, such as the page URL, referrer, browser and device information, and the IP address used to connect to Google. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, participant details, contact-form content, request details or WhatsApp message text to Google Analytics. Form-interaction measurement, site-search measurement and video-engagement measurement are disabled in this analytics baseline. Google Signals, Google Ads linking and advertising personalisation are not part of this implementation.

Legal basis and your choice

Where data-protection and electronic-communications rules such as the GDPR, ePrivacy rules or Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act apply, we rely on your consent for this optional Analytics use. Analytics is OFF by default for a visitor who has not made a choice. Refusing Analytics does not reduce website functionality.

Browser storage remembers your Analytics choice. The course planner also saves your selected plan in this browser so that it can remain available when you return. You can allow Analytics, continue without Analytics, or reopen Cookie settings later to change your choice.

Changing or withdrawing your choice

You can use the website without allowing analytics. To review or change your choice, open Cookie settings in the footer.

If you withdraw permission, our implementation stops future analytics measurement and attempts to remove its own first-party Google Analytics cookies. This does not delete unrelated browser data or data already received by Google. Google explains its practices in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and its Privacy Policy.

Browser storage

Necessary browser storage remembers your analytics choice.

Travel links to 12Go

The travel cards on this website link to 12Go, where you can search for transport and make a booking. The cards do not contain an embedded 12Go booking form. When you follow a 12Go link, you leave this website and 12Go’s own terms and privacy practices apply. The link contains Duik met Lex’s affiliate reference. See 12Go’s privacy policy for information about its use of personal data.

Google reviews via Trustindex

The reviews on this website are Google reviews of Duik met Lex. They are shown through Trustindex, a service that displays reviews. A script on our own server (/trustindex-widget.php) prepares the reviews. When the reviews appear, your browser also loads files from Trustindex (cdn.trustindex.io) and a font from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com). These providers can therefore receive technical data such as your IP address and browser information. In our checks, loading the reviews did not place cookies and did not use localStorage or sessionStorage in your browser. Loading the reviews is not linked to your Analytics choice. If the live reviews cannot be loaded, you see a link to read the reviews on Google instead. See the Google Privacy Policy and the Trustindex privacy policy for how these providers use personal data.

Your privacy rights

Depending on the law that applies, you may ask to access, correct or delete personal data, restrict or object to processing, receive portable data, and withdraw consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. You may also complain to the competent data-protection authority.
