Waya Finance & Technology AB's/Inkassogram's privacy policy

In order to process and protect personal data properly, we follow the Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the principles of good practice that are practiced in the field. Our aim is that when you visit our websites and use our services, you should be confident that we protect your personal integrity.

Waya has, as a debt collection company and holder of a debt collection permit issued by the Privacy Protection Authority, a responsibility to follow laws, regulations, policies and to actively protect integrity and security regardless of whether it is a creditor, debtor or third party.

Wayas objective is to only process personal data that is accurate and relevant and that processing should only take place to the extent that is necessary in relation to the purpose for which the data was collected. We strive to be transparent about the handling of personal data and we only process personal data where we have a legal basis in accordance with the GDPR.

This Policy and its principles apply to personal data that we collect directly from you either directly from you or from a third party such as a creditor. By personal data we mean, among other things, all information that can directly or indirectly identify you, such as your name, social security number, address, telephone number, IP address or other contact information.

This Policy applies to Wayas websites, online applications on smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices (“apps”) and your use of or access to any of our services or content that links to this Policy.

The policy does not form part of Wayas General terms and conditions but is to be considered as a documentation of Wayas approach to confidentiality and integrity issues.

As the Policy may change, we recommend that you review the current version from time to time. If we change something in the Policy, we will also update the effective date.

If you have any questions regarding this Policy or how Waya handles your personal data, please contact us as below.
