For our contact details we would like to refer to the title: “How to reach us” in this privacy statement. With this document we inform you about the use of your personal data by Topsitters, hereinafter referred to as “data”.

This privacy statement explains how Topsitters handles the data it keeps. In addition, you can read which data we process, why and what rights you have. We have taken measures for carefully handling your data.

HOW THE PERSONAL DATA IS USED

In the first place, Topsitters processes your personal data for the provision of services. We request, name details about the family members, email address, telephone number, bank account number, year of birth of the child(ren), presence of pets and further details
in case these may affect babysitting activities.

• Name details of the family members: for matching between a babysitter and user.
• Email address: for communication within our web application, in connection with the
  briefing and other matters between babysitter and user.
• Telephone number: in connection with child safety we consider communication
  important and telephone is the quickest means.
• Bank account details: for payment of the Membership, payment to the sitter and
  verification of personal data of both the sitter and the user, these data are stored within a
  secure environment by Acapture BV.
• Year of birth of child(ren): valuable information for the sitter (preparation/briefing).
• Presence of pets: valuable information for the sitter (possible allergy, fear or otherwise).

In addition to this information, the Sitters may ask other questions via the web application’s communication portal or later by telephone or in person. They ask these questions for health and safety reasons, to offer a high standard of the session and to perform sitting session to everyone’s satisfaction. Think of dietary requirements, bed times, routines, wishes, etc.

There is a possibility to share more information via the family profile where you can introduce your family to the Sitter. This makes placing a booking with the Sitter(s) more personal. Its use is optional and permission to use it must be given explicitly by the user. Neither the Sitters nor Topsitters may use this for social media or other purposes without permission.

If you do not provide us with the required basic information in the registration form, first name, surname, address, telephone number, email address, bank account number, we unfortunately cannot approve a Membership and no use can be made of the services of Topsitters.
