This Privacy Statement was last modified on July 28, 2025

This website bored.com ('site') is operated by Flora ICT ('we', 'us', 'our'). We process personal data about our site's visitors ('you', 'your'). This Privacy Statement is intended to explain to you what personal data we process through your use of the site and what we do with that data.

• limit our collection of personal data to only the personal data needed for legitimate purposes;
• first ask for explicit permission to process your personal data in cases where your permission is required;
• take appropriate security measures to protect your personal data and we demand the same from parties who process personal data on our behalf;
• respect your right to access, correct or delete your personal data held by us;
• don't disclose your information to third parties unless necessary to provide the requested service or when we are required to do so by law.

To improve your website experience, please enable cookies to be placed on your device. Details of the cookies we use, including their duration and any third-party access, and instructions on how to enable or disable them are set forth in this Cookie Notice.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data we hold about you. By using our website (the "Services") with your browser set to accept cookies, you consent to our use of cookies and other technologies to provide the Services (and related advertising) to you as described in this Privacy Statement. For more information about what cookies and pixel tags are, what they do, and how you can opt out of, manage, or delete them, please review this Privacy Statement.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file that is being delivered to you through the pages of this website and that is being stored on your computer. Local storage is an industry-standard technology that allows a website or application to store information locally on your computer or mobile device. The information stored in cookies is being used by us each time you visit our website. Cookies help us to analyze the traffic to and from our website and deliver our visitors a better experience during their visit. We use cookies to enable functionalities of the website (technical or functional cookies) and analyze the use of the website and improve the website on that basis (analytical cookies).

This website uses cookies and other similar technologies, such as local storage (collectively referred to as "cookie" or "cookies" in this document). According to the GDPR parts of this information could be interpreted as (online) identifiers and therefore may qualify as personal data, especially when these types of data are combined. However, for most of our functionalities and features, we process data through anonymous cookies since this information does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person (unless stated otherwise). For full transparency we have outlined more information on the cookies that are placed through our website below.

Cookie consent

When you visit our website for the first time, depending on your location, you may be shown a message containing an explanation about cookies. Insofar as we are obliged to do so, we will ask for your consent to the use of those cookies. For further information on which categories of cookies we use, please see below.

Withdrawing cookie consent

You can easily withdraw your consent to our use of cookies by deleting the cookies manually before the expiry date. Your browser settings allow you to delete and/or block certain cookies. If you do not agree (anymore) to the use of cookies, we recommend that you change your preferences and use the correct browser settings. To clear your cookies in your browser settings, please visit the help-page of the browser you use. Changing these settings and preferences may limit your ability to take full advantage of our website.

If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics, you can download and install an opt-out browser add-on for certain browsers at the link listed above.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies – These cookies are necessary for the site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as changing your cookie settings or browsing the site.

Functional cookies - These cookies have a functional role within the website. These cookies ensure that the website functions properly. These cookies have little impact on your privacy. They allow us to perform our online services. For example, they allow to remember a language preference.

Analytical cookies – This website uses first party and third-party analytical cookies to collect information about your visit to this website.

First Party Analytics by Google Analytics – The information is transmitted to Google and stored on its servers in the United States. Google is part of the Privacy Framework, to comply with the rules of the GDPR for companies that process personal data from residents of European Union member countries and Switzerland. We use these cookies to measure the use of our website.

For an overview of cookies and similar technologies that may be placed through our site see the table below:

How long are cookies stored on my system

Session cookies. "Session cookies" are stored for the duration of a browser session; when you close the browser, the cookie is deleted.

Persistent cookies. "Persistent cookies" are stored for a preset amount of time and are typically not deleted when a browser session is closed.

Use of other (technical) information containing personal data and anonymization

When you visit and interact with our website, your browser or device automatically transmits certain technical information to our website, hosting provider and DNS service provider. Among other technical information, your IP address will temporarily be viewed, for less than a second. The technical information we derive from this is anonymous and only this information is stored by us. We have a legitimate interest in processing personal data before making the data anonymous for the purposes described below. Such information enables us to know for example, which browser type you use, what your browser settings are, what country you are in and what your referrer is. With this information we can optimize your user experience by showing the website in your language, optimize rankings, customize the user interface etc.

However, we mainly use this information for analytical, statistical and research purposes, such as tracking referrals and incoming and outgoing traffic. We anonymize these data to the extent the data is not already anonymous. This means that the personal data originally obtained by us is made anonymous in such a way that the person concerned can no longer be identified based on this data and this process cannot be reversed. The data is therefore no longer personal data and there are no privacy risks associated with this. By means of this anonymized data we can perform statistical research and improve our website without compromising your privacy.

What happens to my personal data when I use certain features?

When you provide your personal data to use one of our website features, then we may temporarily process your personal data. For example, you may voluntarily provide us (personal) data by sending us a(n) (email) message. We have a legitimate interest to process this personal data.

Emails and other messages/medium

The data processed by sending us an email is limited to your email-address, the content of the message and the standard technical information included in emails. We will process whatever personal data you included in the message. However, we will only process this data to handle your request or feedback. The period for which we retain personal data included in your email, depends on the scope of your request and our legal obligation to retain such data to comply with local laws and regulations, if any. Please do not send us copies of passports or identification documents. Also, please refrain from sending us unnecessary personal data through any of our features.

To process certain emails, we use the customer service and ticketing system of Zendesk Inc. To this end, Zendesk temporarily processes the personal data included with your email, such as your email address, the standard technical information included in emails and the contents of your message. Zendesk has ensured that they have appropriate safeguards in place for the processing of personal data. We have executed a Data Processing Agreement with Zendesk regarding their services. For more information, please see the privacy statement of Zendesk for more information: https://www.zendesk.com/company/privacy-and-data-protection/.

Cyberattacks

We use a third party to protect our website from spam and abuse, for example (D)DoS attack to our services. For this service to work, a website visitor's IP address, mouse movements and your behavior while navigating our website is collected. We have a legitimate interest to process this personal data. This data is sent to and processed by this third party for this purpose. By analyzing this information, this party can determine whether we are dealing with a real website visitor or a robot.

No memberships, subscriptions, accounts, profiles etc.

We do not provide memberships, subscriptions, accounts, profiles or any other means that lead to an agreement between you and us, except from your use of the website. We do not collect your personal data for such purposes. If you come across a feature on this website that requests your personal data for the purpose of creating such a membership, subscription, account, profile or any other means that lead to an agreement between you and us, please note this is not our feature and you should proceed with caution and report this to us.

Sharing your personal information with third parties

We will only share your data with third parties to the extent permitted by current legislation. We may provide your personal data to third parties when:

• We have engaged them to process certain data.
• We have a legal basis to do so.
• We are legally obligated to do so (e.g., if the police demand this in case of suspicion of a crime).

The parties that process personal data on our behalf within the Netherlands, within the European Economic Area (EEA), or in specific circumstances outside of it, include:

• Hosting services, which process personal data to deliver secure and scalable storage and infrastructure solutions.
• IT service providers, which process data such as IP addresses (limited processing) and system logs to protect against malicious activity and optimize content delivery.
• Analytics platforms, which collect anonymized data on user interactions to improve the performance and functionality of our website.
• Customer support providers, which support us in managing customer interactions across various communication channels.

Transferring your personal information to other countries

Some of our suppliers are outside the European Economic Area (EEA). When sharing your personal data with these parties, we take appropriate safeguards to protect your privacy.

The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for 15 countries. Based on an adequacy decision, personal data can be transferred securely from the EEA to companies in these countries, without the need for additional data protection safeguards.

When we share data with companies in other countries without an adequacy decision (or US companies not covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework), we take supplementary measures in the form of so-called appropriate safeguards. This means that we take extra action to protect your personal data. We use, among other things, standard contractual clauses ("SCCs") for this purpose.

When we transfer your personal data to parties outside the EEA on the basis of SCCs, you have the following rights:

• Request information about the transfer, including a copy of the SCCs.
• Contact both us and the receiving party for information.
• Submit complaints to the receiving party, the Dutch Data Protection Authority, a competent court in the EEA or an independent dispute resolution body.
• Claim damages for violations of the SCCs.

These rights are in addition to your general privacy rights under the GDPR. This privacy and cookie statement applies exclusively to the services of Flora ICT and not to other websites that are accessible via our website.

Security

We take your privacy seriously and, therefore, we have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures to prevent and minimize the risk of unauthorized or unlawful processing, inappropriate use, inaccuracy, accidental loss, destruction and/or damage of (personal) data stored on our network and systems, insofar as this is reasonably possible and expected of us.

Retention periods

We do not store your personal data longer than necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this privacy statement. Some data must be retained for a longer period due to statutory obligations.

Overview

Below you will find an overview of the information (including personal data) that we process, if you choose to actively provide this information to us. Please note that the report tool feature we use below requires your personal data to be transferred to our database located in the USA.
