Data Protection Overview
Simply Wild takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. This document describes how we collect, use, and protect information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. We act in accordance with applicable data protection legislation in the Netherlands and the European Union. Our approach is based on the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, and purpose limitation.
Categories of data collected
To effectively offer our services, we collect the following types of information:
Identity data: Such as first name, last name, date of birth, and gender, to verify your identity and comply with legal age requirements.
Contact details: Including email address, phone number, and residential address for communication and account management.
Usage data: Information about how you use our platform, including the duration of your sessions and the interactions you engage in.
Device data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and unique device identification codes.
Transaction data: Details about payments to and from you, as well as details about the services you have purchased from us.

Legal bases for processing
We only process your personal data when we have a legal basis for doing so:
Performance of a contract: When processing is necessary to fulfill the agreement between you and Simply Wild.
Legitimate interests: For improving our services, securing our platform, and internal administration.
Consent: When you have given us explicit consent for specific processing, such as marketing.
Legal obligation: When we are legally obliged to retain or provide data to authorities.
How we use your data
The collected information is used for the following purposes:
Creating and managing your personal account.
Ensuring the security and integrity of our platform.
Performing analyses to improve the user experience.
Providing efficient customer support.
Sending relevant marketing communications, provided you have given consent for this.
Complying with legal obligations regarding fraud prevention and mandatory checks.
Data retention
We do not retain your personal data longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. The retention period is determined by the nature of the data and our legal obligations. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized, so that it can no longer be traced back to you.
Sharing data with third parties
We never sell your data to third parties. However, we may share your data with trusted partners:
Processors and service providers who perform technical, payment, or analytical services on our behalf.
Legal authorities if legally required or to protect our rights.
All our partners are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to secure it according to strict standards.
International transfers
In some cases, your data may be processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA). In such situations, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses from the European Commission, to guarantee a level of protection equivalent to that within the EEA.
Security measures
We apply robust technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. This includes encryption, firewalls, and strict access controls. Although we make reasonable efforts, we cannot offer an absolute guarantee on the security of data transmission over the internet.
