Privacy Policy

Niels Janssen loves music, not data collection. We want to be clear: Niels Janssen only uses your data to respond to booking requests. We do not use your personal information for advertising, tracking, or any commercial purposes.

 

We chose Squarespace for our website due to its usability and security features. Squarespace offers a user-friendly platform with strong security measures.
