Privacy statement

Data controller

The data controller is Mischa Sigtermans, initiator of HW3 Claim (hw3claim.nl). This initiative is private and independent from Tesla. Because the initiative is run by a natural person, no home address is published. Once a foundation or similar legal entity has been established, the correspondence address will be listed here. Until then, you can reach us at contact@hw3claim.nl and for privacy requests at privacy@hw3claim.nl.

Which data we process

Name, email address, postal code, country, optional phone number, VIN, vehicle model and year, information about your FSD purchase (date, method, optional invoice number and amount), optional notes, IP address and user agent (for abuse prevention only), language preference, and consent timestamps.

Legal basis and purpose

Legal bases: your explicit consent (article 6(1)(a) GDPR) for registering your sign-up and sending updates, and legitimate interest (article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for substantiating the collective claim and conducting any legal proceedings. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Data required for pending legal proceedings is retained on the basis of legitimate interest. Your data is not used for commercial purposes.

Retention

Unconfirmed sign-ups are automatically deleted within 7 days. Confirmed sign-ups are retained for as long as this initiative is active. You can delete your account at any time via Settings.

Hosting and international transfers

Your data is processed exclusively on servers within the European Union. We do not transfer your data to countries outside the EU. For participants outside the EU this means your data is stored in the EU and falls under European privacy law (GDPR). From your perspective this is an inbound transfer, not an export of EU data.

Third parties

We don't share your data with third parties, including Tesla or press, without your explicit prior consent per case. If an attorney or advocacy organisation is engaged, you'll be asked for consent before your data is transferred. We use no tracking cookies and no Google Analytics. The site uses only functional cookies: for sign-in, language preference, and to remember when you last visited the updates and evidence pages so we can highlight new items.

Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, deletion, restriction and data portability. You can withdraw your consent at any time. You can delete your account via Settings. For other requests, contact contact@hw3claim.nl.

Regional rights

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law. EU and UK: GDPR and UK GDPR grant you the rights in the previous section. United States (California): under CCPA/CPRA you have the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal data. Canada: PIPEDA and, in Quebec, Law 25. Australia: Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. The jurisdictions page lists the relevant regulator for each country.

Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country. Netherlands: Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl). United Kingdom: Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). United States: Federal Trade Commission (ftc.gov) or your state Attorney General. Canada: Office of the Privacy Commissioner (priv.gc.ca). Australia: Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au). For other countries, see the jurisdictions page.
