How we use this personal data
We use your personal data for a number of reasons, in particular:
- Making a booking/reservation – in order to streamline your communications with our Third Party partners, we use and share personal data, such as your e-mail and telephone number to:
- Personalize and complete your reservation with the venue/Third Party supplier.
- For communication purposes between you and the venue/Third Party supplier. In case the venue is overbooked, they will use your personal data to get in touch.
- Your personal data will NOT be used for any unwanted marketing purposes neither by us or a Third Party.
- After booking with us we will send an invitation to review our company on Trustpilot.
- To ensure overall smooth operations – your personal data helps us to constantly improve our website and enables us to quickly process your transactions.
- Reviews – we collect personal data provided in your reviews, for example, by registering the venue you visited and analyze this feedback to evaluate a particular product or service. We ask for personal data to be able to filter out fake reviews.
- We work with Trustpilot to gather feedback and optimize our workflows. After ordering on ThingstodoinAmsterdam.com you will receive an invite from Trustpilot to review our company. You will not receive marketing-related e-mails from Trustpilot.
- Overall legal compliance – your personal data also plays a key role in helping us identify and prevent fraudulent transactions or other illegal activities on our platform, communicate security messages to our customers and comply with relevant applicable laws and regulations.
- Safe payments – we work together with payment service partners, such as Mollie and PayPal, on all payment transactions. We don’t have access to your full payment details, but we may refer to partial information, such as the last couple of digits of your credit card number, for authentication and anti-fraud purposes.
We will only store your personal data temporarily for the purposes listed above, save for situations where laws or regulations dictate otherwise. You have the right to ask for your personal data to be deleted at any given point in time
