Privacy policy
PassDutch (passdutch.nl) helps you practise for the Dutch civic integration exam. We handle your data with care and collect no more than we need. This policy explains which data we use, why, and what your rights are.
Who is responsible?
PassDutch is the controller of your personal data.

What data do we use?
- Without an account: you can practise without an account. Your settings (language, theme, voice) and progress are stored only in your own browser (local storage), not by us.
- Account: your email address, an encrypted password (we cannot read it), your chosen language and the date your account was created.
- Payments: the payment ID, amount, status, payment method, date and the date until which you have access. We never see your bank or card details; they go directly to Mollie.
- Technical data: our hosting and login services keep log files for a short time, including IP address, browser and time, for security and troubleshooting.
Why, and on what legal basis?
- To run your account, give you access after payment and send emails that belong to your account (such as a password link): performance of the contract.
- To keep our records as required by law: legal obligation.
- To keep the site secure and prevent abuse: legitimate interest.
We do not send newsletters or advertising without your consent, and we never sell your data.
Who do we share data with?
We use a few service providers (processors) who only act on our instructions:
- Supabase: accounts and database, stored in the EU (Ireland).
- Mollie (Netherlands): payment processing.
- Brevo (France): sending account emails.
- OVHcloud (France): hosting of the website and our email address.
- jsDelivr: delivers a piece of code used for logging in; this service sees your IP address.
If you follow a link to another site (such as Trustpilot or government sites), that site's privacy policy applies.
Cookies
We do not use tracking or advertising cookies, nor third-party analytics. We only store what the site needs to work in your browser: your settings, your progress and, if you are logged in, your login session. No consent is required for this.
How long do we keep data?
- Account data: as long as your account exists. If you ask us to delete it, we do so within 30 days.
- Payment data: 7 years, as required by Dutch tax law.
- Log files: briefly, usually a few days to weeks.
Your rights
You may access, correct or delete your data. You may also object, restrict processing or receive your data in a common file format. Send your request to info@passdutch.nl; we reply within one month. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).
Security
The site only works over a secure connection (https). Passwords are stored encrypted and only we have access to the administration.
Changes
We may update this policy. The date below shows when it was last changed.
