Furthermore, we use the contact data for informing users about the developments in, and information concerning, our products and services, e.g. by means of newsletters.
Payt needs these data in order to provide you with an efficient service. It is necessary for you to provide your personal data to Payt in order that we can conclude a contract. In the absence of such data, it is not possible to enter into a contract with Payt. We process your data insofar as it is necessary for the implementation of the contract. We process additional data if you have given your consent for such. When we process your data based on your consent, you may at any time withdraw this consent.
Furthermore, Payt processes data of the creditors of clients of Payt. These data are personal details, address data, email address and telephone number, as well as data concerning the payment behaviour and communication between creditors and clients of Payt. Payt uses these data exclusively for the implementation of the service provided to its clients.
When visiting the website, statistics are analysed. We have configured analytical software in accordance with the instruction of the Authority for the Protection of Personal Data, so the impact on your privacy is minimal. To measure the business use of our website, we use the Leadinfo service from Rotterdam. This service shows us company names and addresses based on the IP addresses of our visitors. The IP address is not recorded.

You may at any time request that Payt deletes or amends your data.
Payt may opt not to remove certain personal data (directly) if retention is mandatory according to the legal retention period or if it concerns personal data that Payt stores on behalf of its clients and the retention of such data does not constitute an unreasonable infringement of your privacy.
