RenterOwnerLast updated: Oct 8, 2026

In short

Huurmarkt processes personal data to keep the platform safe and functioning.

  • Data is processed under applicable privacy law (such as GDPR).
  • Data is not sold to third parties.
  • Only necessary information is processed.
  • External partners are used for payments and verification.

Your privacy matters for a safe platform.


What data does Huurmarkt process?

Depending on your use, the following may be processed:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Profile information
  • Payment-related information (via external payment provider)
  • Identity verification data: the status and, upon approval, first name, last name, date of birth, nationality and document type
  • Chat messages
  • Booking and transaction data
  • IP address and device data

All processing is tied to platform use.


Why is data processed?

Data is processed to:

  • Create and manage accounts
  • Enable bookings
  • Process payments
  • Assess disputes
  • Prevent fraud
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Improve the platform

Data is not used for other purposes without a valid legal basis.


Payments and external parties

Huurmarkt uses an external payment provider for payments.

Important:

  • Huurmarkt does not store full card details.
  • Payment data is processed via the payment partner's secure systems.
  • Payouts go through an external provider.

For identity verification Huurmarkt works with verification partner Didit. The check runs automatically: document verification, a liveness check and a 1:1 face comparison. Didit keeps the photos of your identity document, your selfie and your facial features, on our behalf, for no more than 1 month and then deletes them. Ourselves, upon approval we store first name, last name, date of birth, nationality and details about the document (document type, country of issue, expiry date and, for a driving licence, the categories), for as long as your account exists. If verification is rejected or unclear, human review is available via Support. See Identity verification for full details.

If you use the optional AI photo scan when creating a listing, your photos and optional title are processed server-side by AI provider Anthropic (US), solely to generate suggestions for your listing — not for advertising or marketing purposes. See Fill in with AI.


Chat and communication

Chat messages may be stored to:

  • Record agreements
  • Assess disputes
  • Prevent misuse

Chat communication is not made public and is used only within the platform context.


Is my data shared?

  • With other users when needed for the transaction
  • With external partners (such as payment or verification partners)
  • Where legally required
  • In case of suspected fraud or abuse

Huurmarkt does not sell personal data to third parties.


How long is data retained?

Data is kept no longer than necessary for:

  • Service delivery

  • Dispute handling
  • Fraud prevention

Some transaction data may be kept longer for administrative reasons.
