Ockto App Overview
Currently, the Ockto app is accessible only through an invitation from an affiliated financial service provider, such as a mortgage adviser, financial advisor, or insurer. Without such an invitation, the app cannot be used at this time.
About Ockto
Ockto is designed to simplify the process of sharing personal and financial information securely. Whether applying for a mortgage, leasing a property, seeking financial advice, or renting a home, Ockto ensures that only the necessary data is retrieved and shared—nothing more, nothing less.
How It Works
Affiliated companies will prompt you to download the Ockto app and connect by scanning a QR code or tapping the "Get Started" button. Once in the app, you log in to relevant organizations (e.g., using DigiD for tax authorities) to collect and merge your personal data. You have full control over whether to forward this information to your service provider. Ockto encrypts all data for security, and once the app is closed, all collected data is deleted.
Key Advantages
- Saves time by eliminating the need to manually search for or input data.
- Reduces errors from manual entry, preventing future complications.
- Ensures no important details (e.g., loans or pension entitlements) are overlooked, leading to better advice and smoother processes.
Safety and Security
Ockto operates on two core principles: user control over data sharing and no permanent storage of personal data. Data is deleted once the transmission is complete, the app is closed, or if permission is not granted. Service providers may request temporary data storage for specific purposes (e.g., mortgage offers), but explicit user consent is required, and consent can be withdrawn at any time. Ockto meets high security standards, including ISO27001 certification and compliance with privacy regulations like AVG.
Camera Access
Ockto requires camera access to scan QR codes from service providers' websites, enabling a secure connection between the app and the platform.
