Hire Local NL (hirelocal.nl) is a free directory of independent freelancers in the Netherlands. It's in beta, and we're collecting the first listings through this form. Here's what happens with the information you share.
Hire Local NL is created and owned by Alexandra Ciuca, through ALCIVE Studio (KVK 87540991), the Netherlands, and run as part of The Freelance Besties. Questions about your data: [email protected].
When you add your business, we collect:
We only list businesses added by their own owner, with their consent. You can withdraw that consent at any time.
If you tick "Feature me on social media", we may feature your business in posts on the Hire Local NL and The Freelance Besties Instagram and LinkedIn accounts, and tag you. If you also upload a photo of yourself, we may use it in those posts. This is completely optional and doesn't affect your listing.
You can withdraw this consent at any time. We'll then stop using your details and photo in new posts, and delete posts that feature you on request. Photos you upload are deleted when you withdraw consent or when your listing is removed.
You can also recommend a freelancer you love. We collect their business name, what they do, their city, where to find them online (their public website or Instagram), why you recommend them, and your own name and email.
We never publish recommendations. We use them for one thing only: to contact the freelancer once, through the public channel you gave us, to tell them about Hire Local NL and that they were recommended. They decide for themselves whether to add their business. If they say no, or don't reply within 30 days, we delete the recommendation.
Your email is only used to let you know if they join.
If we contacted you because someone recommended you, we got your business name and public website or Instagram from that person. We don't list you unless you add your business yourself. You can ask us at any time to delete the recommendation or to tell you what we have.
