Privacy Statement

Last updated on October 26, 2026.

Who we are and what this statement covers

We are Soigné B.V., registered in the Netherlands under number 92772390. We build software that helps hospitality businesses hire, manage and pay their teams. This statement explains what we do with your personal data when we decide why and how it is used. Questions go to legal@soigne.app.

This statement applies when you:

  • visit soigne.app or another website we run
  • sign up for our newsletter, ask us a question, contact support or send us feedback
  • hold a user account in the Services as a team member of one of our customers, for the service, billing and security notices we send you

This statement does not apply when you apply for a job with an employer that uses Soigné, or when that employer hires you and manages your employment, schedule, absence or pay in the Services. We then act as processor on the employer’s behalf under our Data Processing Addendum, and the employer’s own privacy statement applies to you. We still explain below how the Services handle your data in those cases, so you know what to expect. The business relationship with our customers is governed by our Terms of Service.

Our role: controller or processor

We play two roles, and which one applies decides who you turn to with questions about your data.

SituationOur roleWhat governs it
You visit our websites, subscribe to the newsletter, ask a question, contact support or give feedback ControllerThis statement

You hold a user account as a team member of a customer Processor for your account inside the Services; controller for the service, billing and security notices we send you DPA and this statement

If you send us a privacy request about data we process for an employer, we forward it to that employer and may tell you we have done so. The employer answers the request; we help where needed.

What data we use and why

We only collect what each purpose needs. The first table covers what we process as controller.

PurposeData we useLegal basis
Run our websites and keep them secureServer logs: IP address, pages requested, browser and device typeLegitimate interest
Answer questions, support chats and feedbackName, email, phone, company, country, Soigné ID, the content of your messageLegitimate interest; performance of an agreement where you are a user
Send our newsletterEmail address, subscription preferences, opens and clicksConsent
Send service, billing and security notices to customer account holdersName, email, phone, role, login and action logsPerformance of the Agreement with your employer; legitimate interest
Improve the ServicesAggregated or anonymised usage data that no longer identifies youLegitimate interest
Keep records the law requires us to keepInvoices, contracts, correspondenceLegal obligation

The second table shows what the Services process for your employer. The employer decides these purposes and their legal basis; we act on its instructions.

What the employer uses the Services forData the Services process
Handle your job application and communicate with you Contact details, personal details (gender, age, country), address, CV, work history, qualifications, motivation, preferences, correspondence, interview notes, assessments

Give you the employee appEmail and hashed password, push token (APNs/FCM), device model, OS version, app version
Connect integrations the employer installsThe data the employer chooses to share with that integration
  • Performance of an agreement: we need the data to do what you asked for, such as handling your support request or running your account.
  • Consent: you said yes, for example to the newsletter. You can withdraw consent at any time, and we stop from that moment.
  • Legitimate interest: we have a real business reason that does not outweigh your privacy, such as keeping our systems secure, answering your questions or improving the Services with data that no longer identifies you.
  • Legal obligation: the law tells us to, such as keeping invoices for the tax authority.

We never use your data for a purpose that is incompatible with the one we collected it for.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell your data. As controller, we share it in three cases only.

  1. Service providers that run parts of our platform for us (listed below). They act on our instructions, under contracts that bind them to the same data protection rules we follow, and we stay responsible for them.
  2. The law: when a court, regulator or statute requires it. Where we are allowed to, we tell you first.
  3. A buyer of our business: if Soigné is acquired or merges, your data moves with the Services and this statement keeps applying.

Where we act as processor, your employer decides who receives your data. The same providers below process it for the employer under the DPA.

ProviderWhat they do for usProcessing location

Transfers outside the EEA: Postmark and Intercom process data in the United States. For these we rely on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses or another valid transfer mechanism under Chapter V GDPR. You can ask legal@soigne.app for a copy of the safeguards we use.

We keep this list in step with Annex 2 of our Data Processing Addendum. When we add or change a provider, we update this page.

How long we keep your data

We keep your data only as long as the purpose needs it, then delete or anonymise it.

DataHow long
Job applications 4 weeks after the employer disqualifies your application, or 1 year if you opted in to the employer’s talent pool
Employee profile and employment data According to the employer’s retention settings in the Services, and at most until 30 days after its subscription ends
Newsletter subscriptionUntil you unsubscribe; we then keep only the record that you opted out
Questions, support chats and feedbackAs long as needed to handle your request and follow up
Customer account holder contact data For the term of your employer’s subscription, plus 30 days after it ends unless the employer asks for deletion or return sooner
Server logsOnly as long as needed for security monitoring
Invoices and other legally required recordsSeven years, as Dutch tax law requires

After a customer’s subscription ends we may delete all data we hold for that customer, including your account, 30 days later. Employers must export what they need in time.

How we protect your data

We apply the same security measures to your data as we commit to in Annex 3 of our DPA.

  • Encryption: TLS 1.3 or higher for all data in transit; encryption at rest for databases, backups and file storage; keys held in a dedicated key management service
  • Access: role-based access on a least-privilege basis, reviewed regularly; sessions end automatically after inactivity; every access attempt is logged
  • Systems: DDoS protection, rate limiting and input validation; automated security patching; real-time monitoring with alerts
  • People: only staff who need your data to do their job can reach it, and each of them is bound by confidentiality

If a breach affects your data, we investigate without delay, limit the damage, and notify the Dutch Data Protection Authority and you where the GDPR requires it. Where we process for an employer, we inform the employer without undue delay and support its communication to you.

Your rights

You can ask us at any time to:

  • Access: see the personal data we hold about you
  • Rectify: correct or complete data that is wrong or incomplete
  • Erase: delete your data
  • Restrict: pause processing while we check a dispute or claim
  • Object: stop processing based on legitimate interest, and stop direct marketing at any time
  • Withdraw consent: stop any processing you agreed to, without affecting what happened before
  • Port: receive your data in a machine-readable format, or have it sent to another party where that is technically possible

Send requests to legal@soigne.app. We may ask you to prove your identity so we do not hand your data to someone else. We answer within one month; for complex requests we may take up to two months more, and we tell you if we do.

If your request concerns data we process for an employer, we forward it to that employer and let you know. The employer responds; we assist them.

If you are not happy with how we handle your data or your request, tell us first. You can also file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or the supervisory authority in your own country.

Cookies, connected tools and changes

Cookies: we do not set cookies of our own on our websites.

Connected tools and AI agents: the Services let customers connect third-party services, integrations and AI agents through our APIs and agent interfaces. The customer decides what to connect, who gets a token and how much access it has. Once data reaches a connected tool, it has left the Services and that provider’s terms apply, not this statement. We use your data to provide the Services and, in aggregated or anonymised form, to improve them.

Changes to this statement: we post the new version on this page with its date. If a change materially affects how we use your data, we let you know by email or in the app where we can, before it takes effect.
