Privacy Policy

Last updated: 4 September 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to ProFind.

ProFind is a digital marketplace operated by VV-srvcs AB that connects customers with independent service providers.

ProFind is initially operating in Stockholm, Sweden, with an initial focus on services including cleaning, moving and handyman services. The geographical coverage and available service categories may be expanded over time.

Through the ProFind website and mobile applications, customers may search for services, submit service requests, receive quotes, communicate with service providers, make bookings, process payments and leave reviews.

Service providers may create professional or business profiles, receive service opportunities, submit quotes, communicate with customers, manage bookings and receive payments through the platform.

This Privacy Policy explains how ProFind collects, uses, stores, shares and protects personal data and describes your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Swedish data protection legislation.

2. Data Controller

ProFind is operated by:

VV-srvcs AB

Where personal data is processed for provider recruitment or business-to-business outreach based on legitimate interests, individuals have the right to object to such processing.

ProFind will stop processing personal data for direct marketing where the individual exercises their applicable right to object.

7. Automatically Collected Information

When you use the ProFind website or mobile applications, certain technical information may be collected automatically.

This may include:

More information about cookies and similar technologies is available in our Cookie Policy.

8. Location and Service Area Information

Location information is necessary for the operation of the ProFind marketplace because customers need to be connected with service providers operating in relevant geographical areas.

ProFind may process:

* Customer service addresses;

* City;

* District;

* Provider service areas;

* Provider operating districts;

* Approximate device location where location access has been permitted by the user.

During the initial launch phase, ProFind primarily operates in Stockholm and may restrict service availability according to supported locations, districts, service categories and available provider coverage.

* Create and administer user accounts;

* Register and onboard service providers;

* Create and maintain provider profiles;

10. Manual Matching and Marketplace Administration

During ProFind's initial launch phase, certain marketplace processes may involve manual review and administration by authorised ProFind personnel.

For example, if a customer submits a service request and there are no suitable registered providers available for the selected category, district or requested date, authorised ProFind personnel may review the request.

This review may include information such as:

* Requested service;

* Category and subcategory;

* Service location or district;

* Requested date;

* Number of potentially matching providers;

* Relevant customer contact information;

* Provider availability.

ProFind personnel may then identify or onboard potentially suitable service providers and make the service opportunity available to them.

The purpose of this processing is to fulfil customer service requests, operate the marketplace and improve provider coverage.

Access to this information is limited to authorised personnel who require it for legitimate operational purposes.

11. Legal Bases for Processing

ProFind processes personal data only where an appropriate legal basis exists.

Depending on the processing activity, the legal basis may include the following.

Performance of a Contract or Steps Before Entering into a Contract

We may rely on contractual necessity where processing is required to:

* Create and administer an account;

* Submit and manage a service request;

* Match customers with service providers;

* Receive or submit quotes;

* Facilitate bookings;

* Facilitate communications;

* Process payments;

* Administer provider participation;

* Provide requested platform functionality.

Legal Obligation

We may process personal data where necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements, including:

* Accounting obligations;

* Tax obligations;

* Payment-related legal obligations;

* Regulatory requirements;

* Requests from courts, authorities or regulators;

* Statutory record-keeping requirements.

Legitimate Interests

We may rely on legitimate interests where necessary to:

* Operate and improve the marketplace;

* Maintain platform security;

* Prevent fraud, misuse and abuse;

* Resolve complaints and disputes;

Where ProFind relies on legitimate interests, we assess whether the processing is necessary and balance our interests against the rights and interests of the individuals concerned.

Consent

We rely on consent where required, including for certain:

* Marketing communications;

* Optional analytics technologies;

* Advertising or marketing cookies;

* Device permissions;

* Other processing activities where applicable law requires consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

12. Payments and Payouts

ProFind uses third-party payment service providers, including Stripe, to facilitate payments and payouts through the marketplace.

Depending on the transaction and requirements of the payment provider, the information processed may include:

* Name;

* Billing information;

* Payment method information;

* Transaction information;

* Payment status;

* Payout information;

* Fraud-prevention information;

* Provider payment-account information.

Full payment-card details are generally processed directly by the payment service provider and are not stored by ProFind on its own systems.

Payment providers may process certain personal data as independent data controllers in accordance with their own privacy notices and legal or regulatory obligations.

13. Identity and Business Verification

Where identity or business verification is enabled or required, ProFind may use specialist verification providers, including iDenfy and/or verification services provided by payment providers.

Depending on the verification required, information may include:

* Government-issued identification documents;

* Full name;

* Date of birth;

* Photographs or selfie verification;

* Business registration information;

* Beneficial ownership information;

* Address verification;

* Payment-account information;

* Verification results;

* Fraud or compliance indicators.

Verification may be used to:

* Verify service-provider identity;

* Verify business information;

* Protect customers and providers;

* Prevent fraud;

* Secure payment processing;

* Satisfy applicable regulatory or compliance requirements.

Verification requirements may vary depending on the type of user, payment arrangement, service and functionality available on the platform.

Verification information is not used by ProFind for unrelated advertising or marketing purposes.

14. RUT and ROT Information

ProFind may display information indicating whether particular services may potentially qualify for Swedish RUT or ROT tax deductions.

Eligibility for RUT or ROT depends on applicable Swedish tax legislation and the individual circumstances of the customer, service provider and service performed.

Where ProFind introduces functionality supporting RUT or ROT administration, additional information may need to be processed.

Depending on the implemented process, this may include:

* Customer identification information;

* Service or property address;

* Service and labour information;

* Invoice or payment information;

* Service-provider information;

* Information necessary for tax-deduction administration.

Any such personal data will only be processed where necessary for the functionality provided and in accordance with applicable Swedish law.

Where information needs to be submitted to or exchanged with the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket), this will only take place where an appropriate legal basis exists and in accordance with the applicable RUT or ROT process.

ProFind does not guarantee that any particular service, provider or customer qualifies for a tax deduction.

15. Communications Between Customers and Providers

Customers and service providers may communicate through ProFind or through communication functionality associated with a service request or booking.

Communication information may be processed to:

* Investigate complaints or disputes;

ProFind may use customer relationship management, email, communication and support systems to manage:

* Service-provider onboarding;

* Provider outreach;

* Customer enquiries;

* Provider enquiries;

* Support requests;

* Business communications;

* Follow-up activities;

* Marketplace relationships.

Relevant contact and communication information may therefore be processed by contracted technology providers acting on behalf of ProFind.

Where third parties process personal data on behalf of ProFind, we require appropriate contractual and data-protection safeguards in accordance with applicable law.

17. Reviews and Ratings

Customers may be able to provide ratings and reviews after completing a service.

Reviews may be displayed publicly on service-provider profiles or elsewhere on ProFind.

Published information may include:

* Rating;

* Review text;

* Limited reviewer identification;

* Service category;

* Date or approximate date of the service.

ProFind reserves the right to moderate, restrict or remove content that violates applicable law, platform policies or the rights of other individuals.

18. Marketing Communications

Where legally permitted, ProFind may send communications relating to:

* Platform updates;

* New services;

* Provider opportunities;

* Promotions;

* Marketplace news;

* Relevant service information.

Where required, marketing communications will only be sent after obtaining the appropriate consent.

Recipients may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time using the unsubscribe functionality provided or by contacting ProFind.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not prevent ProFind from sending necessary transactional, security, booking, account or service-related communications.

19. Cookies and Analytics

ProFind may use cookies and similar technologies to:

* Operate the website;

* Maintain user sessions;

* Remember preferences;

* Protect the platform;

ProFind does not sell customer personal data as a commodity.

21. International Data Transfers

ProFind aims to use service providers that provide appropriate data-protection safeguards.

Some technology, analytics, identity-verification or payment providers may process personal data outside Sweden or outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA to a country that is not covered by an applicable adequacy decision, ProFind will use an appropriate transfer mechanism where required under GDPR.

This may include European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses together with any additional safeguards considered necessary.

Certain third-party providers may independently determine how and where they process personal data under their own legal responsibilities.

22. Data Retention

ProFind retains personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or for as long as required by applicable law.

In general:

* Account information may be retained while an account remains active and for an appropriate period afterwards where necessary for legal, security, fraud-prevention or dispute-resolution purposes;

* Cookie and analytics information is retained according to the applicable cookie or technology-specific retention period.

Where personal data is no longer required, it will be deleted, anonymised or otherwise securely disposed of unless continued retention is required by law.

Measures may include:

25. Exercising Your Rights

To exercise your data-protection rights, contact:

info@profind.se

Please clearly state the nature of your request.

In certain circumstances, this period may be extended where permitted by law.

26. Account Deletion
