 3. What personal data does in3 process, and for what purpose?

in3 processes your personal data whenever you use any of our services. This includes when you use the in3 Garant payment method, contact our customer service, download our app, and/or visit our website.

  • 3.1 Information you provide
    in3 processes any personal data you provide to us. For example, this is the case when you:

    • – place an order online and choose in3 Garant as your payment method;
    • – set up an account with us;
    • – contact our customer service team.
  • In general, in3 processes the following types of personal data which you provide to us:
    • – personal details, such as: name, email address, postal address, date of birth, telephone number;
    • – order details, such as: ordered products, name of the seller, date of purchase;
    • – payment details, such as: account number and data relating to your payments to in3;
    • – communications information, such as: information relating to communication with our customer service team;
    • – other information, such as: date of birth for age verification.
  • This information is necessary to deliver our services and for the purposes related to those services, such as customer ser-vice and marketing. In3 also uses your email address to send newsletters where you have registered for this on our web-site.
  • 3.2 Personal data which in3 collects from you
  • When you make use of our payment method, in3 also processes your credit score and the criteria on which it is based (this is explained in more detail in paragraph 4 below). in3 needs this information to assess whether your application to use our services can be approved in accordance with our policies. in3 takes its corporate social responsibility seriously and therefore performs credit checks to make sure the credit provided to our customers is responsible and sustainable.

4. Automated credit check

Under what circumstances will an automated credit check be carried out?

If you choose to pay using the in3 Garant payment method, in3 shall first perform a credit check to make sure the payment via in3 is in accordance with our policies regarding responsible and sustainable credit. If you are unknown to in3 as a customer, the credit check will be an automated process based on real-time data available to our credit reference agency (see below for further details). If you already are a customer at in3, then in3 will also use your payment history with in3 to decide whether to accept your application.
What does the credit check involve and what are the implications?

As part of the credit check, in3 checks your name, address, date of birth, email address and telephone number with the credit reference agency Experian. Experian then gives in3 a credit score. Based on this, in3 then decides automatically whether you can use in3 Garant. It works as follows:

in3 verifies your name and address, so they can be sure this information is correct. in3 also checks the bankruptcy and insol-vency register, registers of arrangements with creditors and legal capacity, to decide whether you can meet your payment obligations. For this reason, in3 also checks whether there are any debts outstanding at the same address. in3 also checks to see if you have other negative credit registrations. Negative scores may be recorded if you are in default with regards to other payment obligations, such as your telephone service provider or energy provider. Finally, in3 checks to see if you have made more than 2 applications for credit in the past 30 days. in3 checks this to protect you against taking on too much debt.

How long is the credit check stored?

in3 stores the personal data on which the credit score is based, so we can explain the scoring to you, should you ask for this. Furthermore, in3 stores your data to monitor and improve its systems for credit checks and fraud prevention. See paragraph 6 for specific retention periods. Experian will retain your application for 30 days and may reuse it for new credit applications in the same period.

Why are credit checks needed?

in3 carries out automated credit checks in order to set up and perform the agreement with you for the delivery of in3 Garant. in3 also has a legitimate interest to perform credit checks. Without this check, in3 cannot assess if you can meet the payment obligations and if the credit complies with in3’s policies regarding responsible and sustainable credit. Specifically, it is im-portant for in3 to know whether the resulting payment instalments are manageable in your circumstance. in3 handles a lot of applications, so it has to do this automatically. The methods used by in3 are reviewed regularly to verify that they remain fair, appropriate and unbiased. However, you can always ask in3 for a manual review by one of our employees of your application and circumstances.

Access, objection and human review

If in3 turns down your application to use in3 Garant, you can request access to the personal data which in3 Garant has based its decision on, and the reasoning behind the decision. If the personal data is incorrect, you can request it be rectified or de-leted. If you believe that being turned down is not justified in view of the data, you can object against in3’s decision. You can also ask us to review your credit score manually. Such requests can be sent to us via email to customerservice@payin3.nl. in3 may ask security questions to verify your identity before processing your request.

5. With whom does in3 share your personal data?

Services
in3 uses third parties when providing in3 Garant. These third parties provide assistance to in3 e.g. by sending payment state-ments, providing collection services, providing fraud prevention services and checking creditworthiness. Enquiries relating to these third parties and their data processing methods can be directed to in3 at privacy@payin3.nl.

Furthermore, in3 may share data with the authorities if required to do so by law. However, in3 will only agree to this where the authorities can demonstrate that in3 is legally required to cooperate.

Funding

in3 may also share data with third parties to finance its services. In connection with this, it assigns receivables against consum-ers who use the in3 Garant payment method (the Receivables), to in3 Finance I B.V. (in3 Finance). in3 finance may also pledge the Receivables to third parties. in3 Finance may furthermore assign the Receivables for collection purposes, or reas-sign them to the (online) store where you placed the order. These parties will get your data in order to collect the Receivables, manage payment obligations and process payments. The in3 Finance consumer privacy statement can be found here https://payin3.eu/en/consumerprivacystatement-in3-finance/.

Marketing
in3 may share personal data with third parties in connection with our marketing activities. For example with:

  • – Facebook (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited)
  • – LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company)
  • – Google (Google Ireland Limited)

The main goal of in3 is to exclude existing customers from our marketing communications on Facebook, LinkedIn and Google. This also allows these third parties to specifically target other consumers and companies who are not yet a customer of in3 with marketing communications. Specifically, the in3 marketing can be aimed towards persons and companies which have similar profile characteristics as our existing customers. This is often referred to as ‘look-a-like audiences’. To this end (hash-codes of) email addresses and/or telephone numbers of our customers are compared with the email addresses and telephone numbers that are known at the aforementioned platforms. During this process specific security measures are taken to ensure that this happens in a safe and trustworthy way, which does not allow for the relevant platforms to have access to your email address and telephone number if you do not also have an account with the same email address or telephone number at one of those platforms.
Other

Finally, in3 may share your personal data with third parties during a company takeover, such as to a potential buyer or its advisor, or establish, exercise or defend its legal position or rights.

When in3 shares your personal data as stated here, it takes all reasonable legal, technical, and organizational measures to ensure that your data remains secure.

in3 does not sell personal data to third parties.
