FormFinch VOF retains the right to change these terms & conditions. We will notify you about these changes on our website and send you an in app message or email. If you object to any such changes your sole recourse shall be to cancel your FormFinch account. Continued use of FormFinch following any such changes shall indicate that you acknowledge and agree to those changes and are therefore bound by the changed Terms & Conditions.

This also includes, but is not limited to, international privacy and security regulations concerning the data you collect and/or share.
FormFinch plans are subscriptions. Beside our free plan you can subscribe to either a recurring plan that automatically renews or pay several months in advance (prepaid).
For recurring plans this means that you will be charged in advance on a recurring, periodic basis. Your FormFinch subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle until you delete your account on the account details page or subscribe to our free plan on the pricing page.
When you choose a prepaid subscription, you immediately pay the entire amount for the chosen period. When the period you have purchased expires, the subscription is automatically converted back to our free subscription.
You guarantee that the payment information you provide is correct and you shall promptly update your payment information if there are any changes. You can do this yourself on the account details page within the application. You agree that if your payment can’t be processed for any reason, FormFinch VOF may suspend, downgrade or cancel your FormFinch subscription.
Please note that every plan has limitations that can influence your use of FormFinch. Most notably, but not restricted to, the amount of forms that can be published. FormFinch will automatically close any forms that are not within the range of the active limitation. This will also happen if you downgrade a paid subscription. In both cases we will notify you of the consequences but you can also compare subscription limitations on the pricing page.
FormFinch will never automatically delete your forms when a downgrade is performed, we will only close the forms which means they can’t receive any more submissions.
Changing a recurring subscription plan takes immediate effect. If possible we will automatically adjust the amount due from the following billing cycle(s) to match the time that remained on your previous subscription. If you rather receive a refund for the time you did not use because you terminated your account, please send a mail to support@formfinch.com and we will issue a refund within 14 days.
If you have purchased a prepaid subscription, a downgrade will take effect at the end of the already purchased period. The end date of the current subscription can be seen in the application under your account information.

When FormFinch VOF processes personal data as part of the data that is collected by forms that you create with FormFinch, the Terms & Conditions are supplemented by this supplement.
The definitions provided in this supplement are defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This supplement qualifies as a Processor Agreement as intended in article 28 of the GDPR.
FormFinch VOF offers you the possibility to use its services, where FormFinch VOF provides the service to collect personal data on your explicit order and behalf. With the processing of personal data, you are the controller or, when you are processing personal data on behalf of a third party, the processor. FormFinch VOF is, depending in which capacity you process personal data, the processor or sub-processor.
FormFinch VOF is obligated under the Terms & Conditions to process personal data on your behalf. Processing will exclusively take place to comply with those Terms & Conditions, as are the duration and any goals that are logically coherent.
FormFinch VOF will not process personal data for any other goals other than those that have been defined by you. In other words, we only perform the actions you command by using the FormFinch interface.
FormFinch VOF has no say about the goals and means you have and use for the processing of the personal data you collect. FormFinch VOF does not make decisions on its own about collecting or using personal data, nor do we decide how long it is stored or if it is shared with third parties. However, FormFinch VOF reserves the right to use personal data collected by you if you have violated the Terms & Conditions. For example: If you collect personal data with the clear goal of scamming or phishing, FormFinch VOF reserves the right to delete that data.
The personal data covered by this chapter involve certain categories of data subjects, those are:
Regarding the processing activities mentioned in the chapter: “Goals of Processing”, FormFinch VOF is obligated to comply with the conditions, set by the GDPR, that are required to process personal data for its role as processor or sub-processor.
FormFinch VOF will process data that is collected on your behalf, as instructed by you, by using our application.
FormFinch VOF will inform you, when you request it and within a reasonable amount of time, about any processes and measures we have implemented and undertaken regarding our obligations under this supplement.
The obligations of FormFinch VOF that result from this supplement also apply to those who process personal data under the authority of FormFinch VOF.
FormFinch VOF will inform you if we determine that one of your instructions is not in compliance with the relevant privacy laws and regulations.
FormFinch VOF shall provide you, on your request, the necessary assistance you need to fulfill your obligations regarding the GDPR, like but not limited to the security obligation, the data breach notification obligation, performing a data protection impact assessment and a prior consultation with the Data Protection Authorities (DPA) in a high-risk processing. The amount reasonably incurred by FormFinch VOF, or to be incurred, in connection with the aforementioned cooperation will be reimbursed by you.
FormFinch VOF primarily processes personal data in member states of the European Union. You will permit us to also process personal data in countries outside of the European Union, with respect to the applicable rules and regulations.
FormFinch VOF will inform you, on your request, about which country, or countries this entails as this can vary between clients. For example, when you, or your email provider, resides in a country outside of the EU we will have to transmit the data to that location otherwise you will not be able to export or receive (email) submissions.
Both you and FormFinch VOF will take care of complying with applicable privacy laws and regulations. The permitted processing activities will be carried out by FormFinch VOF within a primarily automated environment.
FormFinch VOF is solely responsible for the processing of personal data within the confines of this supplement and in accordance with your instructions and under your explicit responsibility.
For all processing activities of personal data that take place outside of the FormFinch application and associated services, FormFinch VOF cannot be held responsible. The responsibility of processing personal data outside of FormFinch rests solely on you. You guarantee you have a legal basis for the processing of personal data and that your systems, processes, and infrastructure are appropriately secured.
It is up to you to decide whether FormFinch VOF can give enough warranties regarding implementing the appropriate technical and organizational security measures, so the processing activities are in compliance with the GDPR and/or other applicable laws and regulations, and that the rights of data subjects are protected.
You guarantee that the content, use and instruction to process personal data, like intended in this supplement, are lawful and do not violate the rights of any third parties.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless FormFinch VOF and its parents, subsidiaries, partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensor’s, from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, losses, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that such parties may incur as a result of or arising from acting in contrary to this supplement, the GDPR and/or other applicable privacy laws.
You accept that FormFinch runs on the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform and that therefore FormFinch VOF is allowed to use its sub -processor Microsoft Azure to process data.
You accept that when you use the feature within FormFinch to email you submission data, which can contain personal data, FormFinch VOF is allowed to use its sub-processor Mailgun for this purpose. When you do not want Mailgun to process personal data you can simply turn this feature off or use the setting to email submission notifications without the actual data. This feature is turned off by default and can be turned on for specific forms.
FormFinch VOF has the right to change and ad sub-processors. When we do we will inform you of those changes and this supplement will be updated to reflect those changes. This will effectively mean that you will need to accept an updated contract and have the right to terminate your FormFinch account.
FormFinch VOF is responsible that these third parties comply with the same agreements and obligations as have been agreed upon between FormFinch VOF and you.
FormFinch VOF will put in place appropriate technical and organizational measures regarding the processing of personal data, due to the destruction, loss, change, or the unauthorized distribution of, or unauthorized access to, processed data.
Since we value the protection of your data as much as our own, the same security measures are taken for the data of your clients, of which FormFinch VOF is the processor, as your own personal data, of which FormFinch VOF is the controller. Those measures are publicized in our Privacy Agreement. The only exception in security is that our Payment Service Provider has no access to data we process for you.
To guarantee the safety of all the data we process, FormFinch VOF has the right to change and update its safety measures when we deem it necessary.
FormFinch VOF cannot guarantee that its security measures are sufficient under all circumstances. However we will make an effort to uphold security standards to a level that, having regard to the state of current technological developments, the basis, scope and context of the processing activities, the goals and foreseeable use of the service, the danger and in probability the seriousness of divergent risks for the rights and liberties of data subjects that can be foreseen and expected with the intended use of the service, is not unreasonable.
FormFinch VOF’s security measures offer, in your judgement, a sufficient level of protection to process personal data for you. You only allow FormFinch VOF to process personal data if you are convinced that FormFinch VOF offers appropriate security measures.
In case of a security leak and/or data leak (which is understood as: a breach on security that occurred accidentally or unlawfully to the destruction, loss, change or unauthorized distribution of or unauthorized access to processed data) FormFinch VOF will do its best ability and effort to inform you, after which you can decide whether or not you need to inform supervisory authorities and/or data subjects.
When the applicable laws and regulations demand it FormFinch VOF will cooperate in informing applicable authorities and data subjects. However, you are responsible for reporting to applicable authorities.
The duty to report also includes for FormFinch VOF that we will report to you:
When a data subject submits a subject access request to FormFinch VOF, we will forward that request to you and inform the data subject. You will be solely responsible to carry out the subject’s request. As we have previously stated in the chapter ”Obligations of FormFinch VOF”, we will provide assistance if you need any help, but the amount reasonably incurred by FormFinch VOF, or to be incurred, in connection with the aforementioned cooperation will be reimbursed by you.
On all personal data processed on your behalf by FormFinch VOF, as a result of this supplement, rests a confidentiality obligation on FormFinch VOF towards third parties. You own the data you have collected and created with FormFinch and therefore we cannot use any type of data, both personal and general, for other goals than processing in accordance with your instructions.
This confidentiality is not applicable when:
You have the right to let an independent ICT-expert perform audits on a confidential basis, to check if all points mentioned in this supplement are carried out. This can only be done after you have requested FormFinch VOF to provide present similar audit reports, reviewed it and you can provide reasonable arguments to execute another audit by an independent ICT-expert. Reasonable arguments are when the audit rapport provided by FormFinch VOF does not include or provide sufficient information about conforming to this supplement. When you initiate to such an audit you have to notify FormFinch VOF at least two weeks in advance, when the audit will be performed. Audits by independent ICT-experts can only be performed once per year.
FormFinch VOF will cooperate with audits and will provide all relevant information to the audit, including supporting information like system logs and employees within a reasonable time, where a reasonable time is a period of two weeks at maximum unless there are urgent interests.
The findings in response to the audit will be shared and deliberated between both parties, after which it will be implemented by one party or both.
The costs of the audit reasonably incurred by FormFinch VOF, or to be incurred, in connection with the aforementioned audit will be reimbursed by you, with the understanding that the independent ICT-expert will always be paid by you.
This supplement is contracted for the duration and conditions as the Terms & Conditions, of which it is part of. In other words, in normal circumstances all agreements end whenever you decide to terminate your FormFinch account.
