This privacy and cookie policy will help you understand how we process any and all data collected by us in relation to your use of our website, and what choices you have.

We collect information about you when you register with us or complete a form on our website. We collect the information you provide in the forms on our platform. We collect information from files you upload, including e.g. scans of national identity card, passport, driver’s license or other commonly accepted documents as proof of identification. We also collect information when you voluntarily provide feedback, participate in competitions and when you email us or contact us by telephone. Website usage information is collected using cookies.

We use your information collected from our website to personalise your repeat visits to our website.
We will not share your information with companies outside of our organisation, with the notable exception of PSP Stripe. OutKept works with Stripe as a provider for incoming and outgoing payment services. In order to make these payment services possible, OutKept is required to collect and share certain information with Stripe, I.A. for the verification of payment beneficiaries e.g. ethical phishers on the OutKept Platform, in the context of legal obligations related to KYC (know your customer). We include the following information excerpt from Stripe as clarification:

“Know Your Customer” (KYC) obligations for payments require Stripe to collect and maintain information on all Stripe account holders. These requirements come from our regulators and are intended to prevent abuse of the financial system.
The information Stripe is required to collect differs from country to country, and typically includes (but is not limited to):
OutKept will only share with Stripe the strict minimum of your information required to make normal use of the payment services it offers possible.
With your permission we would like to send you information about our products and services, together with details of news and promotions that we think will be of interest to you. We may use your data to contact you by email, telephone, text message and by direct mail. You may opt out at any time.
If you no longer wish to be contacted for marketing purposes, please email info@outkept.com. You can opt out of our email communications by clicking the unsubscribe link at the footer of any email you receive from us.
We only keep your data if we have a valid legal reason to do so and will only keep it for as long as we need to in order to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations or for as long as we have your permission to keep it.
In the context of a phishing simulation campaign, if you were targeted by one of our phishing simulation mails, the proprietary information provided by you through our platform will only be stored for a minimum of time, to allow us to register the fact that information was shared with us. We do not store information you uploaded for the purpose of keeping it. The purpose of our platform is solely to register whether you have clicked on a link and/or shared data on a phishing simulation page on our platform, in order to generate a report on the vulnerability to phishing of your organisation and to allocate an appropriate reward (bounty) to the ethical social engineer who sent out the phishing simulation mail. Ethical social engineers will under no circumstance have access to the information provided by you through one of our web forms.
We will conduct an annual review to determine if we need to keep your data. Your data will be deleted if we no longer need it to maintain our obligations or if you have requested that we delete it.
Some or all of your data may be stored or transferred outside of the European Economic Area (“the EEA”). If we do store or transfer data outside of the EEA, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is treated as safely and securely as it would within the EEA and under the GDPR.
Data security is of great importance to us. We take steps to protect your data by using data encryption on our websites and applications. Our websites are hosted in Belgium and the Netherlands and are monitored 24/7/365. The servers where they are stored include firewall protection and secure monitoring software which generates alerts in the event of a hack attempt or the detection of malware.
