We collect personal data through various methods. Primarily, we receive your data when you log in using BankID and when you actively share information (e.g., email or phone number).
We must have a legal basis to process your personal data. In our operations, we primarily rely on the following:
Consent – Ayd processes your personal data after obtaining your explicit consent. Information about the specific processing is provided when we request your consent.
