Privacy Statement

Code of Conduct and our promise

Our mission is to provide the best customer experience in the world. Our promise is transparency and simplicity. By transparency, we mean that you as a user of the app have full insight and control over your personal data and how we and affiliates can and may handle it.

By simplicity, we mean a system as user-friendly and simple as possible for purchasing and paying for services and products of affiliated companies via the app. The use of the app is free for you. To achieve all of this, we promise the following:

  • You come first. Without you and your trust in us, no mobyyou; it's as simple as that. That's why we promise you a secure user environment where you are fully in control of your personal data and (privacy and marketing) settings. Click on Settings in the app to view your profile.
  • We like to go the extra mile when it comes to your data and privacy. We treat your data as if it were our own. You are therefore in control and can change the settings at any time.
  • We protect your privacy. We will make every effort to keep, use, manage and secure your personal data safely. We require affiliated companies to collect, process, use and access your data only for the purpose for which it was received. Based on the agreements we make with you, in compliance with applicable (privacy) laws, they will do so. See our privacy statement for more information on how we secure and use your personal data.
  • We comply with laws and regulations. We take our responsibility to comply with applicable laws and regulations very seriously and expect the same from our employees and affiliates. If you see or notice anything that does not comply, please let us know immediately. We will look into it immediately and take appropriate action if necessary.
  • We listen to you. Our app is the result of your experience(s) and suggestions. If you have any comments, please let us know and we will work with your feedback and suggestions.
  • We also expect (and will reward) good behavior from you. Provide the correct information, use the app according to the instructions and fulfill your (payment) obligations to the affiliated companies for your services enjoyed.

Our principles

We keep your personal data in a secure and protected manner (just as we keep our own personal data).

  • We request and use only your personal data that is strictly necessary for the use of our services (nothing more, sooner, and preferably less).
  • You are in control of your personal data. For each merchant (and associated zone) you determine which of your personal and user data can be used by the merchant for what purposes.
  • We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary for the use of the services (no longer, sooner, and preferably less).
  • We only use anonymized data to improve our products and services.

5.1 | mobyyou uses the previously described information of Users, some of which may be personal data, to the extent relevant, for the following purposes:

  • Registration, account management and (financial) administration (i). mobyyou uses account information, financial information and contact information to be able to manage and maintain the relationship with the User, including for registrations with mobyyou, account management, verification purposes and financial administration and management (billing, reminders, demands and (extrajudicial) collection).

  • Marketing and newsletters (iii). We will not send you marketing messages or newsletters without your request or consent. mobyyou will always obtain your consent before processing personal data for marketing purposes or when otherwise required by law. This also applies to merchants who have obtained your personal data or User ID through us. They may perform these activities with your personal data or consent obtained through other channels, parties or you yourself. Upon your consent, you may from time to time receive push notifications and other forms of targeted and untargeted marketing messages, advertisements and promotions from (or through) mobyyou and from the merchants for which you have given your consent.

Also, mobyyou may send you logistical or administrative messages (for example, alerts). Communication is possible through the available communication channels (including e-mail and SMS). If a (prospective) User uses an online registration facility and has not completed the registration, mobyyou may send a reminder to proceed, or contact you to complete the registration or sign in as a User with the relevant personal data (or contact information) as provided to mobyyou. We may also contact you for quality purposes and product improvements in the event of any termination or disuse of the app. We believe that this additional service is useful for our users because it allows us to continue with the registration without having to fill in all the registration information all over again. mobyyou may also use your personal data, such as contact information, after your consent, to inform you about system and product updates and any malfunctions and defects.
  • Analysis, internal reporting, product improvement, surveys and research (v). mobyyou uses the information provided, which may include personal data, for internal analytical purposes.

By participating in any survey, user and traveler panel or market research or providing review, you consent to the use of your personal data for these purposes. Finally, aggregated anonymized data may be used for analysis and internal reporting purposes. To the extent you have consented to share the user ID with one or more merchants, it may be used for similar analytical purposes by the relevant merchant(s). In order to (continue to) improve our service and detect any bugs or any defects and malfunctions in a timely manner, we may ask certain users with exceptional (high, irregular, notable) usage to share their (usage) experience and feedback.
  • Security, fraud detection and (fraud) prevention (vi). We also process the information provided, which may contain personal data, to investigate, prevent and detect fraud and other illegal or infringing activities. This may include personal data that a User has provided to mobyyou, for example for verification purposes as part of the registration process or identification and identification when using the app (for example, for travelers on public transport), automatically collected personal data or personal data obtained from third-party sources. mobyyou may also use personal data to facilitate prosecution when necessary.

Further, we are required to share certain person-related information (in an anonymized and/or aggregate manner) with governmental or semi-governmental agencies for reporting purposes.
    5.2 |As applicable for purposes (i) and (ii) above, mobyyou relies on the legal basis that the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of the contract between the User and mobyyou (or the merchant). If the required information is not provided, mobyyou cannot accept or otherwise cooperate with a User, nor can we provide customer service.
    For purposes (iii) and (iv) regarding the sharing of your User ID with the relevant merchant(s), mobyyou relies on the legal basis of consent or approval, which you, the User, must first provide. The same applies to purpose (v) whereby User participates in a survey, user/traveler panel or market research, and thereby consents to the use of Personal Data for these purposes.
    For the purposes (iv) to (vi) above, mobyyou relies on its legitimate interest (or that of third parties) to provide its Services or obtain Services from Users, to prevent fraud or unlawful/abusive use, and to improve its Services. When personal data is used to serve the legitimate interest of mobyyou or a third party, mobyyou will always balance the rights and interests of the Users in the protection of their information against the rights and interests of mobyyou or those of the third party.
