Double Privacy Tick: Why Adelhof’s Contact Form Needs Two Separate Consents
If you are ready to send a question, comment, booking request, or newsletter-related message, the last thing you want is uncertainty about what happens to your details. That is exactly why the Double Privacy Tick on Adelhof’s contact form matters. On the contact page, guests are asked to agree with the Privacy Policy of Recreatiecentrum Adelhof and to confirm that they are aware of the content of the Privacy Policy and consent to the use of their personal data to be contacted about their question or comment.
This blog explains what those two privacy confirmations are doing, why they matter, and how they fit into a clear and responsible contact process. If you want to understand why Adelhof asks for two separate consents before you press Send, this guide will walk you through it step by step.
What is the Double Privacy Tick?
The Double Privacy Tick refers to the two required privacy confirmations shown on Adelhof’s contact form.
On the contact page, the form includes:
- Your name*
- Your email address*
- Your Message*
- I agree with the Privacy Policy of Recreatiecentrum Adelhof
- I agree with the Privacy Policy of Recreatiecentrum Adelhof*
- A statement confirming awareness of the Privacy Policy and consent to the use of personal data to contact the sender about a question or comment
In simple terms, the two confirmations work together to support a clear privacy process:
- You acknowledge the Privacy Policy.
- You give permission for your personal data to be used so Adelhof can respond to your message.
That may look repetitive at first glance, but it serves an important purpose: it makes the privacy step visible and explicit before personal data is submitted.
Why Adelhof asks for privacy consent on the contact form
Whenever someone fills in a contact form, they share personal data. In this case, the form asks for a name, email address, and message. Those details are necessary if Adelhof is going to respond.
The contact page makes this purpose clear. It states that by checking the required box, the sender confirms awareness of the Privacy Policy and consents to the use of personal data to contact them about their question or comment.
That clarity matters because it tells visitors:
- what data is being shared
- why it is being used
- what action will follow
Instead of leaving the process open to interpretation, Adelhof puts the privacy agreement directly into the form journey.
What each consent is doing
{""} 1. Agreement with the Privacy Policy
The first privacy confirmation signals that the visitor has read and accepted the Privacy Policy.
Adelhof’s Privacy Policy explains that it regulates the processing of personal data. It also states that it contains essential information about:
- how personal data are processed
- which cookies are used
The policy further states that by using the website, a visitor declares they have read the Privacy Policy and expressly agree to its content as well as to the processing itself.
On the contact form, that same principle is made specific and immediate. Before sending a message, the visitor actively confirms agreement with the Privacy Policy of Recreatiecentrum Adelhof.
{""} 2. Consent to be contacted about the message
The second confirmation focuses on the practical reason the form exists: communication.
The contact page states that the sender is aware of the content of the Privacy Policy and hereby consents to the use of personal data to contact them about their question or comment.
This turns a general privacy acknowledgment into a clear action-based permission. In other words, it connects the visitor’s form submission with the expected follow-up from Adelhof.
That distinction helps answer a common question quickly:
Why does Adelhof need my consent?
Because the form uses your personal data so Adelhof can respond to your question or comment.
Why two separate confirmations can be helpful
At first glance, two ticks may seem unnecessary. In practice, however, separate confirmations can improve clarity.
Clearer expectations for guests
A visible, explicit privacy step helps guests understand that their personal data is not being collected casually. It is being collected for a stated purpose.
That can be reassuring when someone is contacting Adelhof about:
- a booking
- a question
- a comment
- a newsletter-related request
Better distinction between policy and purpose
There is a practical difference between these ideas:
- I agree with the Privacy Policy
- I consent to my personal data being used so Adelhof can contact me about my message
The first is broader. The second is tied to the specific reason for using the form.
When those ideas are separated, the visitor can more easily understand what they are agreeing to.
More transparent communication
Good privacy practice is not only about legal wording. It is also about making visitors feel informed.
By placing the privacy statements directly next to the form, Adelhof reduces ambiguity. Guests do not have to guess how their details will be handled after clicking Send.
What the Privacy Policy says about personal data and cookies
Adelhof’s Privacy Policy states that it regulates the processing of personal data. It also explains that it contains essential information about how personal data are processed and which cookies are used.
That matters because privacy on a website usually involves two connected areas:
Personal data submitted by the visitor
This includes the information entered into the contact form, such as:
- name
- email address
- message
Cookies used on the website
Adelhof states that the website uses both functional and non-functional cookies.
According to the Privacy & Cookies information:
- Functional cookies are necessary for the correct operation of the website.
- Non-functional cookies require prior consent before they may be placed and read.
- Visitors can refuse or block cookies by changing their browser configuration settings.
- More information is available in the Privacy Policy.
This is useful context because visitors often think privacy only begins when they fill in a form. In reality, website privacy also includes how cookies are handled before or during that visit.

Trust is essential when a website invites visitors to send a direct message. A clear privacy process helps create that trust.
On the contact page, Adelhof also makes it clear that guests can get in touch for:
- questions
- comments
- bookings
The page explains that if you would like to reserve a bungalow or pitch, you can share your preferences at no extra cost. It also invites visitors to contact staff if they want to book for next year or if they are looking for something they cannot find in the brochure or on the website.
That means the contact form is not just a generic inbox. It is part of a guest service process. The privacy confirmations support that service by making the data-use step transparent.
