2.10 Blocking a security code, Device or Datakeeper service by us

1. We may block the use of a security code, biometric identifier, Datakeeper or Device from you to use the Datakeeper services. We may do this if we deem it necessary.

4. Does an event from this article occur? We will then inform you about this. We do not need to inform you:

a. if we have a good reason to do so. For example, if this is not desirable for security reasons, if this is not allowed or to prevent fraud;

b. if you have entered an incorrect security code three times that has blocked the Datakeeper service; c. if the consequences of the decommissioning are or have been minimal for you.

2.11 Availability of the Datakeeper service

1. We make every effort to make the Datakeeper service available. But keep in mind that the Datakeeper service is not continuously available.

If necessary, take measures to prevent or limit the consequences of the unavailability of the Datakeeper service. For example, by exchanging Data in a different way.

2. We always have the right to disable the Datakeeper service or parts thereof. For example for maintenance, in case of fraud or suspected fraud. But also, for example, in the event of a malfunction in the equipment, software or infrastructure used.

Chapter 3: How can you safely use the Datakeeper service?

3.1 What should you do?

1. Keep your security code secret. Your security code is strictly personal. If you can choose or change a security code yourself, make sure it is not easy to guess.

2. Make sure that your Device is never used by another person for the purpose of the Datakeeper service.

3. Ensure good security of the Device that you use for the Datakeeper service. You must ensure that the (internet and/or telecommunication) services, equipment and software that you use, and your Device are and remain suitable and safe for the use of the Datakeeper service.

4. Immediately report incidents to the Receiving Party and follow its instructions. How you do this is described below in the article 'Reporting point for incidents'. A number of safety regulations are explained in more detail below.

3.2 Incident reporting point

In the event of an incident involving Data that you have provided to a Receiving Party, you must contact that Receiving Party's hotline. In the event of an incident involving the Datakeeper Wallet, you must contact the Datakeeper hotline. This can be reached via info@datakeeper.nl.

Have you suffered damage as a result of an incident? In that case, you must immediately file a report with the police. If the Receiving Party so requests, you must provide it with a copy of the official report of this declaration.

3.3 Points of attention for safe trading with your biometric characteristics

The following safety regulations apply to the use of each biometric feature to the extent that it is offered in the App.

1. You may not use the biometric identifiers if other people's biometric identifiers are registered on your Device. You should check this yourself before setting up the use of (one of) the biometric features. You are responsible for this yourself.

2. Do you know or suspect that something is wrong? In that case, immediately block our Apps and report this to the reporting center as stated in the 'Incident reporting center' article.

3. It is possible that people whose biometric characteristics are very similar, such as a twin brother or sister, can also use your Device if only your biometric characteristics are registered on it. Therefore, never give your Device to others. You are responsible for this yourself.

3.4 Points of attention for safe trading with a Device

Are you using a Device for the Datakeeper? Then you must lock your Device with a security code. This prevents others from using your Device for the Datakeeper service.

Do you no longer have your Device? For example because it has been lost or stolen? Or do you know or suspect that someone else knows your security code? Or do you see that the Datakeeper has been used with this Device without your permission? Or if strange things happen when using the Datakeeper if you have it on your Device? Call the hotline. You can cancel the Datakeeper yourself by removing it from your Device. The data stored in the Datakeeper will then be lost.

3.5 Use of (internet and/or telecommunication) services, Equipment and software and security

1. You must ensure the availability of all (internet and/or telecommunication) services, equipment (including a Device) and software that are necessary for the use of the Datakeeper service.

2. You are obliged to handle the (internet and/or telecommunication) services, equipment, security and software in such a way that no damage can occur to us and/or third parties.

3. We can use software or have it used that provides extra security for the data connection in addition to the software as referred to in this article. You are then obliged to use this software. We are in no way liable for the use and/or side effects of such software.

3.6 Regulations for the use of the App The following applies to the use of the App.

1. Before installing the App, you are obliged to check whether the App originates from us.

4. If we ask you to install a new version (updates) of our App.

5. We and third parties engaged by us are not liable for damage that arises directly or indirectly as a result of malfunctions or errors in (updates of) the App or the use thereof. Or for damage that arises directly or indirectly because (an update of) an App does not work in combination with your Device. For example, because the memory of the Device is full.

6. As long as you use our App, these Terms (including their amendments) will continue to apply.

9. Do you want a particular Issuer and/or Receiving Party to no longer send or receive Data from you through your Datakeeper? For example because if you think that they do not handle your data properly. Then you can terminate the involvement of that Issuer and Receiving Party yourself, by no longer involving them in your use of your Datakeeper.
