(i) Attending to, assessing and managing your request to take out a credit product and, if in the end you do take it out, fulfilling the contractual obligations set out the contract and maintaining our contractual relationship with you, as well as sending information in relation to the products taken out.

(ii) Assessing your solvency and predicting your risk of non-performing loans, in order to prevent this and protect our own solvency and our other customers. To do this, we will compare and profile your data according to the behavioural and risk models that we have designed using internal and/or external sources. Below, we will provide a detailed explanation of the type of profiling, the logic applied and the data used, depending on the particular type of credit product you are requesting, as well as the types of processing arising from the taking out of these products.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Correct execution of the contract. Execution and performance of our contractual obligations in relation to the credit product you take out with Openbank.

- Legal obligation. In accordance with the Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring issued by the European Banking Authority and adopted by the Bank of Spain (EBA/GL/2020/06), Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on transparency and protection of customers of banking services and Circular 5/2012, of 27 June, of the Bank of Spain, for credit institutions and payment services providers, regarding the transparency of banking services and responsibility in granting loans.

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: identity data; employment data; economic, financial and insurance data; data relating to your personal characteristics; as well as data we obtain from the external sources listed in Section 3 "What data do we process at Openbank and how do we obtain it?" of this Policy and specified in detail below according to the type of profiling to be carried out based on the particular product requested and/or taken out.

Below, we will explain the scope of the different profiling we will carry out with regard to your personal data and the processing that will be performed, depending on the credit product you wish to take out:

4.4.2.1 Profiling and processing data relating to taking out a mortgage loan

As mentioned in the previous section, if you apply for a mortgage product, Openbank will need to conduct a prudent assessment of both the purpose of the mortgage and your personal circumstances in order to assess your financial capacity and risk of non-performing loans and, consequently, to determine whether you will be able to make the mortgage payments you would be assuming with us.

To do this, we will compare and profile, according to the specific behavioural and risk models that we have designed for mortgage loans, the personal data that you have provided directly through the various information request forms, as well as data we obtain from the following external sources:

(i) ASNEF Filing System, BADEXCUG Filing System and the CIRBE.

(ii) Public authorities such as the Ministry of Finance.

(iii) Public records such as the INE, the Trade Registry, the Property Registry and the Land Registry.

The logic applied to this profiling consists of:


(i) Assessing your current income and financial situation, all your assets and liabilities, including information about all your financial commitments through the CIRBE, as well as your repayment history with Openbank, or the information we request from you directly for the purposes of granting the mortgage, such as your most recent payslips or personal income tax returns. Specifically, we will assess the sources of income that demonstrate your repayment capacity, including cash income (income, periodic private transfers, child support, income from property leasing, financial investment returns, income from private companies or businesses, income from other sources), funds (such as savings accounts or investment products) and periodic spending.

(ii) Assessing the information you provide regarding the number of people who make up your household, as this information is essential when considering income and spending per family member, not only yours as the mortgage applicant.

(iii) Assessing your creditworthiness or that of any person you have named as a guarantor during the mortgage granting process by checking potential debts and arrears shown in the ASNEF Filing System, the BADEXCUG Filing System and the CIRBE.

(iv) We will also take into account sociodemographic and behavioural information about the Spanish population according to the market area in which the property to be mortgaged is located, in accordance with the information published in INE, specifically using statistical data on household income. Information last updated: 2020.

(v) Where necessary, particularly in cases where mortgage applicants are self-employed or receive seasonal income or any other irregular income, we may make enquiries to verify the information relating to the sources of income that demonstrate your repayment capacity, and confirm that the documentation you provide is reliable, through consultation with the relevant public bodies (Trade Registry).

(vi) With regard to the mortgage product, to guarantee the quality of the data, we will analyse the information about the property and validate it with external sources such as the Land Registry and the Property Registry, which provide us with exact data and are an effective tool in the fight against fraud in the property sector. Using the land registry code, we can find financial and tax information in relation to the property, such as public deeds, court orders and rulings, administrative records and rulings, and in the documents containing relevant facts, proceedings and business relating to property ownership and other real rights, lease or transfer agreements of any type for the use of the property, electricity supply contracts, technical projects or any other documents relating to the properties that are required by regulations.

The logic applied to this profile comprises bringing together all the sources of information (internal and external), the data specified above and the analytical capabilities of our behavioural and risk models, through a process through which we will be able to infer the payment behaviour of a potential mortgage borrower, and therefore determine their default risk in relation to a mortgage loan.

Bear in mind that as a consequence of this analysis, the information from our internal sources and the information obtained from consultations carried out with the external sources described above, we will be able to approve or reject your mortgage loan application. If your application is rejected, you shall be duly informed, and it will be specifically stated if the sole reason for the rejection is the existence of a debt with another institution in a credit information system.

You can request information about the result of this profiling in order to receive an explanation of the decision made, state your point of view on the matter, object to the result of the profiling and request the involvement of the Openbank team that is responsible to review the decision made as a consequence of the profiling. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

Similarly, bear in mind that the process of granting a mortgage loan involves the following:

(i) As we will inform you, where applicable, there is a possibility that we may enter into collaboration agreements with third parties which would enable you to receive certain rebates on your mortgage instalments (e.g., if you contract a particular utility for the mortgaged property with one of our partner companies, the cost of your loan could be lower). Bear in mind that, in this case, the third party with which you contract the service will have to inform us that you have entered into a contract with them, transferring the data that is strictly necessary for us to apply the rebate. In any case, the partner company must inform you of this transfer when you enter into the contract with them.

(ii) Throughout the loan cycle, we will carry out processing and monitoring that requires us to assess your financial situation and debt capacity not only when you make the mortgage application, but also subsequently for as long as the mortgage loan remains outstanding.

(iii) As part of the origination process, we will share your data with the Property Registry, as we are obligated to register the transaction (see Section 6 "To whom do we disclose your data?" for further information).

(iv) Given that a mortgage loan must be notarised, we must also share your data with them (see Section 6 "To whom do we disclose your data?" for further information).

(v) For the same reason, your data will also be transferred to the management company you contract to process documents and with the appraiser for the purposes of managing the appraisal request and preparing the relevant appraisal report (see Section 6 "To whom do we disclose your data?" for further information).

(vi) Additionally, if you make a creditor subrogation request for the mortgage you hold with Openbank with another institution, we will share with that institution the information required for the purposes of processing the subrogation. Specifically, at the request of the subrogated creditor, we may send them supporting information about the costs of the subrogated loan, in order for that institution to carry out the necessary processing to fulfil its legal obligations (see Section 6 "To whom do we disclose your data?" for further information).

(vii) Furthermore, as part of our collaboration with mortgage intermediaries, we can obtain your data through them for the purpose of studying the viability of your financing application and we will be able to contact you through any channel, including electronic channels, to facilitate your financing/mortgage loan application and conduct the relevant procedures for the loan to be granted. Similarly, if you accept the offer we make you, Openbank can transfer your data to the intermediary so that it can assist you in generating and processing the mortgage loan application, and inform you of the result of the study, in accordance with the legislation governing the provision of mortgage intermediation services.

(viii) Finally, with the information we have from the energy certificates for the properties in our mortgage portfolio, we will prepare anonymous statistical reports on the general status of our assets with regard to energy efficiency.

In addition, bear in mind that Openbank will also process the data of any third party that is involved in the mortgage loan, including, but not limited to, guarantors or sureties, when necessary for the correct execution of the contract, according to the provisions of Section 4.8 "Processing third-party data" below.

The legal basis for this processing is:

- Correct execution of the contract. The application, at your request, of pre-contractual measures and execution and performance of our contractual obligations if, in the end, you do take out an Openbank mortgage.

- Legal obligation. In accordance with the Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring issued by the European Banking Authority and adopted by the Bank of Spain (EBA/GL/2020/06), Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on transparency and protection of customers of banking services and Circular 5/2012, of 27 June, of the Bank of Spain, for credit institutions and payment services providers, regarding the transparency of banking services and responsibility in granting loans.

- Your prior and informed consent if you make a creditor subrogation request for your mortgage loan, in accordance with the provisions of Law 2/1994 of 30 March, on subrogation and amendment of mortgage loans and Law 5/2019 of 15 March regulating mortgage loan agreements. Remember that if you change your mind, you can withdraw the consent you have given us according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

- Our legitimate interest in knowing the energy rating for the properties in our mortgage portfolio, in order to carry out climate stress tests required under the European Banking Authority Opinion on the disclosure requirement on environmentally sustainable activities in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088.

4.4.2.2 Profiling and processing data relating to taking out a credit card (automated decision)

Similarly, as we have mentioned above, an application to take out a credit product, such as a credit card, requires Openbank, to ensure the correct execution of the contract, to compare and profile your data according to the behavioural and risk models that we have designed to predict the risk of non-performing loans related to credit cards for both new and existing customers.

If you are already an Openbank customer and you apply for a credit card, the profiling will consist of an automated analysis of the information we have about you as a customer in our own sources, such as your account balance; securities contracts; plans; funds; mortgages; cards; deposits (contributions/repayments); loans (amount and number); direct debit payments; spending in shops and card transactions (physical/online); salaries and pensions; cash (cash inflows and outflows); use of cards; age; and internal arrears. We will also check whether you have any debts with other institutions, according to the ASNEF Filing System.

However, for data subjects who are not yet customers and whose credit card application involves the start of a contractual relationship with us, the profiling will consist of automated analysis of the data they have provided to us directly in the credit card application process such as email address; age; number of current account holders for onboarding; address; postcode; province in which they reside; information from metadata that we obtain when the application is made; and information from the following external sources:

(i) ASNEF Filing System, BADEXCUG Filing System and the CIRBE.

(ii) Public authorities such as the Ministry of Finance.

(iii) Public records such as the Trade Registry, the Property Registry and the Land Registry.

This will enable us to identify:

(i) The surface area of the properties in the postcode area where you live (through the Property Registry and the Land Registry, last updated: June 2018).

(ii) The average disposable income and average non-performing loans in the postcode area where you live (through the Ministry of Finance, last updated: 2020).

(iii) Your creditworthiness, by consulting potential debts and defaults shown in financial solvency filing systems such as the ASNEF Filing System or the BADEXCUG Filing System.

(iv) Similarly, it will be considered whether you have any debt and how long you have had it for. If the debt has a delinquency of over 90 days, it is possible that we will consider you unable to make the payments on the requested credit card.

The logic applied to this profile comprises bringing together all the sources of information (internal and external), the data specified above and the analytical capabilities of our behavioural and risk models, through a process through which it is possible to infer the payment behaviour of a potential credit card holder, and therefore determine their default risk in relation to a credit card.

Bear in mind that, as a result of this profiling, we may approve or reject your credit card application For example, if, upon making the application, you have a debt with the institution that you have been unable to repay, or in a financial solvency filing system that does not meet the criteria established by Openbank, there is a possibility that we will reject your application. If your application is rejected, you shall be duly informed, and it will be specifically stated if the sole reason is the existence of a debt with another institution in a credit information system.

You can request information about the result of this profiling in order to receive an explanation of the decision made, state your point of view on the matter, object to the result of the profiling and request the involvement of the Openbank team that is responsible to review the decision made as a consequence of the profiling. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

Similarly, bear in mind that the process of granting a credit card implies processing and monitoring throughout the credit card life cycle, which requires us to assess your financial situation and debt capacity not only when you make the credit card application, but also subsequently.

The legal basis for this profiling is:

- Correct execution of the contract. In the case of taking out a credit card, when the applicant makes their request, the pre-contractual measures and execution and performance of our contractual obligations will be applied.

- Legal obligation. In accordance with the Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring issued by the European Banking Authority and adopted by the Bank of Spain (EBA/GL/2020/06), Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on transparency and protection of customers of banking services and Circular 5/2012, of 27 June, of the Bank of Spain, for credit institutions and payment services providers, regarding the transparency of banking services and responsibility in granting loans.

4.4.2.3 Profiling and processing data relating to the granting of a personal loan for existing customers (with documentation) (automated decision)

The personal loan application requires Openbank to compare and profile your data in accordance with the behavioural and risk models we have designed to predict your risk of non-performing loans and avoid situations that would be damaging to Openbank and to you (due to the risk of over-indebtedness) in line with responsible lending legislation, and in accordance with the procedures, guarantees and rights established at any time by the legislation in force.

In this regard, if you are already an Openbank customer and you apply for a personal loan, we will use our behavioural and risk models to carry out profiling and assess your creditworthiness and financial capacity based on data obtained from our internal sources (data provided on the loan application form, such as your full name or national identification number), data that has been generated during the contractual relationship with you (data regarding card transactions you have made, bills paid, your account balances) and information obtained from the following external sources:

(i) ASNEF Filing System and BADEXCUG Filing System.

(ii) The CIRBE.

(iii) Public records such as the INE (Census 2011), the Trade Registry (Official Gazette of the Trade Registry) and the Land Registry.

(iv) Camerdata, S.A. filing system, from the census provided by Spain's Chamber of Commerce.

(v) Digital maps of Here Global, B.V.

(vi) Surveys with anonymised information carried out by market research companies, such as AIMC Marcas or AIMC EGM.

Specifically, the categories of data we will obtain from the aforementioned sources are: data relating to creditworthiness and possible non-performing loans; credit information; information relating to postal addresses (e.g., residential and sociodemographic information; property characteristics; information about the surrounding area; urban planning variables; nearby areas of interest); and consumer profiles.

We will use the following categories of personal data to carry out profiling, assess your creditworthiness and predict your risk of non-performing loans upon taking out a loan: identity data (full name and national identification number); employment data (if you are a permanent or temporary salaried employee, the length of time you have worked for that company or whether you are a public official, retired or self-employed); primary residence circumstances (renting, family home, mortgaged, property without charges); marital status (married, divorced, single or widowed); financial data about the loan requested (type of loan, amount and term); number of credit cards you hold with other financial institutions and internal arrears; data relating to transactions involving goods and services (Openbank account movements); average balance in Openbank current accounts; net monthly income and monthly spending; and other loans granted); default amounts with other companies; certain due and payable debts; information about loans, credit (direct risk), collateral and guarantees (indirect risk) that you maintain with other financial institutions (amount, start and maturity date, outstanding amounts, type of loan and guarantees); other data mentioned above obtained from external sources.

The logic applied to this automated profiling will consist of analysing the loan amount requested, as well as its term, together with the data obtained from the aforementioned information sources (internal and external).

Bringing together all the sources of information and the analytical capabilities of our behavioural and risk models, through a profiling process, it is possible to infer the payment behaviour of a personal loan applicant, to ensure that the customer's repayment capacity is sufficient to cover the loan instalments for the requested term, leaving a sufficient remainder to meet their basic needs.

Bear in mind that as a consequence of this profiling, we will also be able to approve or reject your personal loan application, for example, if we believe that with your current level of indebtedness and the amount of your income, you will be able to make future debt repayments. If your application is rejected, you shall be duly informed, and it will be specifically stated if the sole reason is the existence of a debt with another institution in a credit information system.

You can request information about the result of this profiling in order to receive an explanation of the decision made, state your point of view on the matter, object to the result of the profiling and request the involvement of the Openbank team that is responsible to review the decision made as a consequence of the profiling. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

The legal basis for this profiling is:

- Correct execution of the contract. The application, at your request, of pre-contractual measures and execution and performance of our contractual obligations if, in the end, you do take out the loan.

- Legal obligation. In accordance with the Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring issued by the European Banking Authority and adopted by the Bank of Spain (EBA/GL/2020/06), Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on transparency and protection of customers of banking services and Circular 5/2012, of 27 June, of the Bank of Spain, for credit institutions and payment services providers, regarding the transparency of banking services and responsibility in granting loans.

4.4.2.4 Profiling and processing data relating to the granting of a loan for non-customers (aggregated) (automated decision)

The personal loan application requires Openbank to compare and profile your data in accordance with the behavioural and risk models we have designed to predict your risk of non-performing loans and avoid situations that would be damaging to Openbank and to you (due to the risk of over-indebtedness) in line with responsible lending legislation, and in accordance with the procedures, guarantees and rights established at any time by the legislation in force.

In this regard, if you are not already an Openbank customer and you apply for a personal loan, we will use our behavioural and risk models to carry out profiling and assess your creditworthiness and financial capacity based on data obtained from our internal sources (data provided on the loan application form, such as your full name or national identification number), data that has been generated, as applicable, during the contractual relationship with you (data regarding card transactions you have made, bills paid, your account balances) and information obtained from the following external sources:

(i) ASNEF Filing System and BADEXCUG Filing System.

(ii) The CIRBE.


(iii) Public sector bodies such as the Spanish Tax Agency, the Tax Agency of the Basque Country and the Tax Agency of Navarra.

(iv) The INE public records: Relationship between municipalities and their codes by provinces, to 01-01-2010; official population figures taken from the review of the Municipal Register to 1 January 2022; and mapping from census and street sections of the Electoral Census 2022.

(v) The National Centre for Geographical Information, an independent body governed by Royal Decree 310/2021.

Specifically, the categories of data we will obtain from the aforementioned sources are: data relating to your creditworthiness and possible non-performing loans; credit information; and residential and sociodemographic information (obtained based on postcode and province, population and income).

Also bear in mind that, as part of the correct execution of the contract, when applying for the loan, you will need to register with our financial aggregator. Tink AB (hereinafter, "Tink"), the organisation that provides the aggregator service, will also process your data in its capacity as data controller and will transfer it to Openbank under the collaboration agreement between the two institutions, in accordance with its privacy policy. As such, through the accounts you have aggregated (external sources), we will obtain the following categories of data: your balances in different credit and deposit products with other financial institutions.

Once the aforementioned aggregation has been carried out by the external provider, before consulting creditworthiness and credit information filing systems, we will verify your identity using the number of the account you have aggregated through Tink, through the Iberpay platform.

The logic applied to this automated profiling will consist of analysing the loan amount requested, as well as its term, together with the data obtained from the aforementioned sources of information (internal and external) to determine whether you will be able to make the repayments on the requested loan and assess the risk of over-indebtedness.

Bringing together all the sources of information and the analytical capabilities of our behavioural and risk models, through a profiling process, it is possible to infer the payment behaviour of a personal loan applicant, to ensure that the customer's repayment capacity is sufficient to cover the loan instalments for the requested term, leaving a sufficient remainder to meet their basic needs.

Bear in mind that as a consequence of this profiling, we will also be able to approve or reject your personal loan application, for example, if we believe that with your current level of indebtedness you will be able to make future debt repayments. If your application is rejected, you shall be duly informed, and it will be specifically stated if the sole reason is the existence of a debt with another institution in a credit information system.

You can request information about the result of this profiling in order to receive an explanation of the decision made, state your point of view on the matter, object to the result of the profiling and request the involvement of the Openbank team that is responsible to review the decision made as a consequence of the profiling. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

The legal basis for this profiling is:

- Correct execution of the contract. The application, at your request, of pre-contractual measures and execution and performance of our contractual obligations if, in the end, you do take out the loan.

- Legal obligation. In accordance with the Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring issued by the European Banking Authority and adopted by the Bank of Spain (EBA/GL/2020/06), Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on transparency and protection of customers of banking services and Circular 5/2012, of 27 June, of the Bank of Spain, for credit institutions and payment services providers, regarding the transparency of banking services and responsibility in granting loans.

4.4.2.5 Profiling and processing data relating to the offering of a pre-approved loan

The offer of a pre-approved loan requires Openbank to compare and profile your data according to the behavioural and risk models that we have designed to predict your risk of non-performing loans using information obtained from internal sources.

The logic applied to this profiling will consist of analysing the identity and financial data we have about you, such as your salary or pension; account balances; deposited securities; mortgages; cards; deposits (contributions/repayments); funds and/or plans; other loans you have already taken out (amount and number); direct debit payments; spending in shops and card transactions (physical/online); cash movements (cash inflows and outflows) to assess the depth of your relationship with Openbank and your debt capacity; as well as a transaction history for the last 13 months to see your spending habits; age; internal arrears; default amounts; and date of default.

Bringing together all the sources of information (internal and external), the data specified above and the analytical capabilities of our behavioural and risk models, through a profiling process, it is possible to infer the amount and type of pre-approved loan we can grant you, in order to ensure that your repayment capacity is sufficient to cover the loan instalment for the requested term, leaving a sufficient remainder to meet your basic needs.

Bear in mind that, as a consequence of this profiling, we will be able to change the conditions of the pre-approved loan offered, or even not offer you any loan. You can object to this profiling, but, in this case, it is unlikely that we will be able to offer you pre-approved loans.

The legal basis for this profiling is:

- Our legitimate interest in carrying out direct marketing and offering our customers pre-approved loans suited to their financial situation and debt capacity. You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

- Correct execution of the contract. The application, at your request, of pre-contractual measures and execution and performance of our contractual obligations if, in the end, you do take out the loan.

- On the basis of our legitimate interest, to grant the loan (during the loan application process), we will have to verify the absence of debts in the ASNEF Filing System, but we will inform you of this in advance. This processing cannot be objected to, as there are compelling reasons for it.

- Consent. If you authorise us to profile you using external information, in addition to pre-approving you for a loan as mentioned above, we will also consult the ASNEF Filing System before offering you the product. Remember that if you change your mind, you can withdraw the consent you have given us according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

- Legal obligation. In accordance with the Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring issued by the European Banking Authority and adopted by the Bank of Spain (EBA/GL/2020/06), Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on transparency and protection of customers of banking services and Circular 5/2012, of 27 June, of the Bank of Spain, for credit institutions and payment services providers, regarding the transparency of banking services and responsibility in granting loans.

4.4.2.6 Profiling and processing data relating to the granting of overdraft protection (automated decision)

An application to take out a credit product, such as overdraft protection, requires Openbank, to ensure the correct execution of the contract, to compare and profile your data according to the behavioural and risk models that we use to predict the risk of non-performing loans related to overdraft protection.

If you request overdraft protection, the profiling we carry out will consist of automated analysis of the information we have about you in our internal sources, such as your account balance; securities contracts; plans; funds; mortgages; cards; deposits (contributions/repayments); loans (amount and number); salaries and pensions; cash (cash inflows and outflows); and internal arrears. When you make the application, we will also check whether you have any debts with other institutions, according to the ASNEF Filing System.

The logic applied to this profile comprises bringing together all the sources of information (internal and external), the data specified above and the analytical capabilities of the behavioural and risk models used, through a process through which it is possible to infer the payment behaviour of a possible overdraft protection holder, and therefore determine their default risk in relation to said product.

Bear in mind that, as a result of this profiling, we may approve or reject your overdraft protection application. If your application is rejected, you shall be duly informed, and it will be specifically stated if the sole reason is the existence of a debt with another institution in a credit information system.

You can request information about the result of this profiling in order to receive an explanation of the decision made, state your point of view on the matter, object to the result of the profiling and request the involvement of the Openbank team that is responsible for reviewing the decision made as a consequence of the profiling. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

The legal basis for this profiling is:

- Correct execution of the contract. The application, at your request, of pre-contractual measures and execution and performance of our contractual obligations if, in the end, you do take out the overdraft protection.

- On the basis of our legitimate interest, to grant the overdraft (during the application process), we will have to verify the absence of debts in the ASNEF Filing System, but we will inform you of this in advance. This processing cannot be objected to, as there are compelling reasons for it.

- Legal obligation. In accordance with the Guidelines on loan origination and monitoring issued by the European Banking Authority and adopted by the Bank of Spain (EBA/GL/2020/06), Order EHA/2899/2011, of 28 October, on transparency and protection of customers of banking services and Circular 5/2012, of 27 June, of the Bank of Spain, for credit institutions and payment services providers, regarding the transparency of banking services and responsibility in granting loans.

4.4.3 Taking out a payment method (debit card/prepaid card/Bizum/mobile payment applications)

Bear in mind that, through our website, in some cases we may also redirect you to the insurance company's website so that you can request a quote directly for taking out your insurance.

(v) Reliably verifying your identity using a valid identity document. To do this, we will store a copy of your identity document (including your image) and, where applicable, we will view it in any media or format, for the sole purpose of verifying your identity when necessary to comply with the contract signed with you in your capacity as customer (as is the case when a complaint is made) and to meet the requirements of the competent authorities and/or fulfil our legal obligations.

Additionally, to reliably verify your identity, we will give you access to a procedure that enables us to identify you via a video call with an agent. You will also have the option of making an automated call, without an agent, in which case your image will be subject to facial recognition techniques which require biometric data processing. If you opt for video call identification (with or without an agent), we will need your prior consent to make and record the call, and save the recording. This information may be accessed by various organisations, when legally required.

In the event that you request video identification so that we can verify your identity, we will process the image pattern extracted from your photograph during the identification process and the image on your identity document.

Alternatively, if you prefer, you can identify yourself by other means which we make available to you, such as making a transfer from a bank account you hold with another institution, provided that this is a Spanish account. Similarly, we will verify whether you are the holder of the aforementioned account by consulting the sender bank.

Likewise, if you give us your consent, we can consult the General Treasury of Social Security (hereinafter "TGSS") pursuant to the agreement signed between the Spanish Association of Financial Establishments and the TGSS for the purpose of confirming that the documents and information you have provided during the formalisation process and throughout the contractual relationship are authentic, and thus prevent possible fraud that could occur in relation to the verifications performed.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Legal obligation. Specifically, Openbank will carry out this processing to comply with Law 10/2010 on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, Directive (EU) 2018/843 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and Royal Decree-Law 7/2021 transposing European Union directives and other applicable regulations on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.

- Consent to process your biometric data, if you decide to identify yourself by means of an automated call and for the recording of the call (whether or not it is automated). Remember that if you change your mind, you can withdraw the consent you have given us according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

- Consent to consult the TGSS. For this purpose, pursuant to the agreement between the Spanish Association of Financial Establishments and the TGSS, we must receive this consent in the wording included in Appendix III of said agreement, and which we have reproduced below for the purposes of transparency:

"I have been informed by the financial institution Open Bank, S.A., that the applicable anti-money laundering legislation requires these institutions to obtain information from their customers about their business activity and to verify that information, both when initiating the business relationship and periodically for necessary updating.

For the sole purpose of verifying the information provided, I grant my express consent for Open Bank, S.A., (financial institution) to request the relevant information from the General Treasury of Social Security on my behalf.

I have also been informed that in the event that the data provided by me for the granting of financing does not correspond to that held by the General Treasury of Social Security, the financial institution will send the General Treasury of Social Security the necessary information that it requires to carry out the necessary checks and verifications with regard to the protection of social security information and the prevention of fraud.

The data obtained from the General Treasury of Social Security will be used for the sole purposes described above. Any breach of this obligation by the financial institution and/or financial institution's staff shall trigger the full application of Organic Law 3/2018 of 5 December, on the protection of personal data and guarantee of digital rights."

Remember that if you change your mind, you can withdraw the consent you have given us according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: identity data; biometric data derived from the facial recognition techniques used in the automated call identification process; data relating to your personal characteristics; employment data; economic, financial and insurance data; and data relating to transactions involving goods and services.

4.5.2 Sending information to the CIRBE

(i) Informing the CIRBE of the risks of your banking transactions, depending on the number of credits or loans you have requested, as well as their amounts, their recoverability and, where applicable, defaults on your part such as failure to make credit or loan payments on the agreed dates. For example, if you have requested a loan of €10,000 to be repaid within a term of four years, we will inform the CIRBE of this, as well as any failure to repay any of the loan instalments. The purpose of this information is to enable other financial institutions to consult the CIRBE and, according to the information shown there regarding your financial transactions and their inherent risks, they will be able to assess your suitability as a customer in the event that you apply for any type of loan or financial product from them.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Legal obligation. Specifically, Openbank will carry out this processing to comply with the legal obligations applicable to the financial system, and in particular with Law 44/2002 on the reform of the financial system.

4.5.3 Sending information to the Spanish Tax Agency (hereinafter "AEAT")

(i) Informing AEAT of your tax residence and providing information regarding the contractual relationship that you have with us, which in turn may be required to send this to the competent tax authorities in other countries.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purpose set out above are: identity data; and tax residence and information relating to the contractual relationship.

4.5.4 Sharing information with other Santander Group companies for the prevention of financial crime

(ii) Enabling Santander Group companies to fulfil their legal obligations regarding anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.

(iii) Enabling Santander Group companies to fulfil their obligations regarding regulatory reporting to supervisory authorities (European Central Bank or SEPBLAC).

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Legal obligation. Specifically, Openbank will carry out this processing in order to fulfil (i) our financial crime prevention obligations, in particular to comply with the provisions of Directive (EU) 2015/849 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/758; (ii) our obligations with regard to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing; and (iii) mandatory reporting to the competent supervisory authorities.

4.5.5 Reporting defaults in credit information filing systems

If you have failed to make any payments during your contractual relationship with Openbank, of an amount of at least €50 (fifty euros) (provided that the debt is a certain, due and payable debt), we will process your personal data for the purpose of:

(i) Reporting this default in the ASNEF Filing System. You can access additional information about the data processing through this filing system at the following link.

(ii) Reporting this default in the BADEXCUG Filing System. You can access additional information about the data processing through this filing system at the following link.

This reporting will comply with the procedures, rights and guarantees established and recognised at all times by current legislation.

Openbank and each of its systems will act as joint controllers of your data, which will be processed in order to keep a record of defaults, and may be consulted by third-party companies with which you maintain a contractual relationship (financial institutions, utility or telephone companies etc.).

You will be able to exercise your data protection rights by contacting Openbank or any of the filing systems indicated. Any complaint relating to the existence, age or amount of the debt must be addressed to Openbank.

Bear in mind that the data is stored in the filing system for a maximum of five (5) years, unless the debt is settled before said period ends.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in preventing any defaults to our detriment and carrying out adequate control of these situations, and the legitimate right of third-party companies to be aware of the existence of default in order to prevent your over-indebtedness and to protect the integrity and stability of the banking and financial system. You cannot object to this processing as there are compelling reasons for its completion, subject to the provisions of Article 20 of Organic Law 3/2018, of 5 December, on the protection of personal data and guarantee of digital rights.

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: identity data; and data regarding defaults or debts you have incurred.

4.5.6 Detection and prevention of possible attempted fraud

Openbank's obligation and objective is to prevent fraud and protect you and our other customers against possible fraudulent or criminal behaviour, such as identity theft, card cloning or password theft. We will process data that you have provided directly, as well as data relating to your location, behaviour patterns or data that we obtain from specialised external sources (as is the case for fraud prevention agencies) to detect and prevent possible attempted fraud, and in particular for the following purposes:

(i) If you are already an Openbank customer, we will consult your data in our own internal sources, in order to perform a behavioural analysis of your transaction profile as a customer using fraud prevention tools. As such, every time you conduct a new transaction, we will assess it in accordance with your transaction profile, and that will enable us to determine whether or not this transaction is in line with your habits and could therefore be considered suspected fraud. This will enable us to detect potentially fraudulent activities, such as undue access to customers' personal data, possible identity theft or any situation that could be interpreted as fraudulent or unwanted use of the account, with the objective protecting the interests of our customers. If any attempted fraud or suspicious activity is detected (such as repetitive transfers or the use of a different device), unless there is a situation of public interest, we will inform you, review the available information and, where applicable, request additional information from you. Similarly, out of caution and until we carry out the necessary checks, we will block any transactions.

(ii) If you are not yet an Openbank customer, before you enter into a contract with us, we will carry out various assessments to prevent fraudulent transactions, such as verifying your identity and detecting any inconsistencies in the information provided. If we do detect any anomalies in the account opening, we will block the process until it is resolved.

For the assessments we carry out, we use the information that you provide during the registration process, such as your email address, age and variables associated with the application you are making, other variables and metadata associated with your application relating to the devices from which you are applying to open an account, the browser you use or the operating system, and information from public sources which we obtain from the INE, specifically income data according to the postcode in which you live, using statistical data on household income. Information last updated: 2020.

We may also consult the Spanish National Markets and Competition Commission's public numbering register (hereinafter the "Numbering Register"), created under Royal Decree 225/1998, of 16 February, approving the regulation on the procedure for allocating and reserving public numbering resources by the Telecommunications Market Commission, which collates information about the operator that each telephone number assigned corresponds to. If our checks in the Numbering Register show that your telephone number is assigned to certain telephone operators, we will take this into account as one of the factors that, together with others, could infer the existence of certain behaviours or patterns compatible with fraudulent conduct, which will be assessed jointly when determining whether or not to provide a product or service.

Before you enter into a contract with us, we will also share some of your personal data with third-party service providers which help us to detect and prevent possible attempted fraud, respecting and complying with the procedures, rights and guarantees established and recognised at all times by current legislation. The information we share with these third parties includes part of the information that you provide to us when you register as a customer, such as your email address, and information relating to your browsing, such as the IP address of your device.

These third parties that we use to help us to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions are:

- Emailage Limited, incorporated in the United Kingdom. Emailage is also responsible for processing your personal data, and will use it for the purposes set out in its privacy policy. We will process your email address and IP address using the service provided by Emailage Ltd., to generate a fraud risk score. For this purpose, Emailage Ltd., compares and assesses the data points provided with the associated metadata (email data, IP geolocation data) and previous customer queries and fraud indicators provided to Emailage Ltd's global fraud network. Using our fraud risk score, together with other checks we may carry out, we will be able to assess the risk associated with the application or transaction and make decisions in an effort to identify and prevent fraud. You can exercise your data protection rights with Emailage here.

- We will share your data with Confirma Sistemas de Información, S.L., if you initiate the process of entering into a contract with us. Specifically, we will send your data to the Confirma filing system, which Openbank participates in for the purposes of detecting and preventing possible attempted fraud. With regard to the Confirma filing system, we are obligated to inform you of the following:

"The applicants have been informed that the data from this application will be shared with the Confirma filing system, for the purpose of comparing applications and transactions registered in the filing system by the participating institutions in order to detect possible fraud in the contract formalisation process. This purpose involves, among other things, the assessment of the probability of fraud in the application. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the legitimate interest of the joint data controllers in preventing fraud (Recital 47 of the GDPR), and avoiding possible negative financial consequences and any legal breaches on the part of the applicants. Consulting the Confirma filing system is ideally suited to the purpose, and proportional in relation to the benefit obtained by the joint data controllers and the impact on applicants' privacy. Similarly, data processing is among the reasonable expectations of the data subjects as a common practice, and is carried out in the context of an application to enter into a contract or during the relationship. To avoid damage and negative consequences for the applicants, technical and organisational measures have been adopted to strengthen the confidentiality and security of this information.

The maximum period of time for which the data will be stored is five years.

The joint data controllers are the institutions included in the Confirma filing system. The data processor is Confirma Sistemas de Información, S.L., whose registered address is at Avda. de la Industria, 18, TRES CANTOS, 28760 MADRID, SPAIN. Applicants can see the list of institutions currently included in the Confirma filing system on the website www.confirmasistemas.es.

Institutions can participate in the Confirma filing system if they adhere to its regulations, and their activity could be subject to fraud when taking out products".

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in preventing fraud, with both new and existing customers, (Recital 47 of the GDPR and Legal Report 195/2017 of the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD)), and avoiding any damage to our customers. This processing cannot be objected to, as there are compelling reasons for it.

- Legal obligation. Specifically, Openbank will carry out this processing in accordance with Decision (EU) 2016/456 of the European Central Bank, of 4 March 2016, concerning the terms and conditions for European Anti-Fraud Office investigations of the European Central Bank, in relation to the prevention of fraud, corruption and any other illegal activities affecting the financial interests of the Union (recast) (ECB/2016/3) (OJEU of 30 March).

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: identity data; data relating to your personal characteristics; data relating to transactions involving goods and services; employment data; and internet browser data and data from the device used.

4.5.7 Recovery and payment of debts

We will manage the collection of any debts you incur with us in order to resolve any default that may arise, to avoid any problems and to ensure the payment of additional costs and interest. We will contact you through the institution's various channels (post, telephone, SMS, instant messaging applications, email, web push, pop-up or any other digital channel available at any given time). We reserve the right to send you the aforementioned information by certified letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

We will therefore process your data, among others, for the following purposes:

(i) Informing you of any default, as well as how to remedy the default, and any early debt collection procedures or transferring the debt collection to a specialised third party.

The legal basis for this processing is:

- Correct execution of the contract.

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purpose set out above are: identity data; and economic, financial and insurance data.

4.5.8 Designing and training risk and behavioural models

It is important to Openbank that we identify and fully understand the needs of banking and financial products and services, as well as the creditworthiness and spending habits of our active customers. To do this, we will carry out the pseudonymisation and/or anonymisation of your personal data, which we will use to design and train the algorithms that enable us to create different behavioural and risk models that we will subsequently use to perform profiling on active customers. In particular, to design and train our behavioural and risk models, we use pseudonymised and/or anonymised personal and financial information from our own and external sources, such as:

(i) Information we have about you derived from the documentation you have provided to us and from your contractual relationship with us.

(ii) Information stored in Openbank filing systems about your behaviour in transactions entered into with us.

(iii) Information contained in financial solvency filing systems to which we have access, such as the ASNEF Filing System and BADEXCUG Filing System.

(iv) Statistical information regarding income data according to the postcode in which you live, obtained from the INE, specifically using statistical data on household income. Information last updated: 2020.

(v) Third-party cookies to develop and improve products that use information about your device and the type of browser you use, if you have given us your consent for their use on our website.

If your personal data is used to design and train our behavioural and risk models, this processing – related exclusively to this design and training – will have no personal legal consequences for you and, when training the model, at no time will we use your personally identifiable information.

Subsequently, and in other processing of your personal data explained in previous sections of this Policy, we may use these behavioural and risk models to compare our customer databases against the models in order to profile our customers, both for marketing purposes (sending advertising) and to analyse and assess their level of risk and creditworthiness, and their propensity to take out one of our products. Similarly, according to the behavioural and risk model that we use, we could use internal and/or external sources, depending on: (i) the credit product you wish to take out; and (ii) whether you are an existing Openbank customer. The reason why the level of profiling is different depending on whether or not you are an existing Openbank customer is because if you are a customer, we already have information about you derived from the contractual relationship that enables us to predict your risk of non-performing loans without consulting external sources.

Similarly, we are pleased to inform you that Openbank has a control model that ensures the quality of the information from the algorithms used to design our behavioural and risk models.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in designing, creating and offering innovative and efficient financial products and services to our customers based on different behavioural and risk models created by our algorithms. You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?"

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: your voice; economic, financial and insurance data; data relating to transactions involving goods and services; information contained in financial solvency filing systems to which we have access, such as the ASNEF Filing System and BADEXCUG Filing System; other statistical information regarding income data according to the postcode in which you live, obtained from INE; and other metadata such as the device from which you are connected.

4.5.9 Statistical analysis

Similarly, for the purpose of identifying and understanding the needs of our customers, as well as their spending habits, we will carry out a series of statistical analyses to improve:

(i) Our products and services.

(ii) Our analytical models.

(iii) Our processes and operations.

(iv) Monitoring and analysis of the portfolio of existing and potential Openbank customers.

To do this, we pseudonymise and/or anonymise your personal data using pseudonymised and/or anonymised personal and financial information from our own and external sources, such as:

(i) Information we have about you derived from the documentation you have provided to us and from your contractual relationship with us.

(ii) Information stored in Openbank filing systems about your behaviour in transactions entered into with us.

(iii) Information contained in financial solvency filing systems to which we have access, such as the ASNEF Filing System and BADEXCUG Filing System.

(iv) Statistical information regarding income data according to the postcode in which you live, obtained from the INE, specifically using statistical data on household income. Information last updated: 2020.

This processing, exclusively related to carrying out the aforementioned statistical analysis, will have no personal legal consequences for you, and the information generated will at no time include personally identifiable information.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in designing, creating and offering innovative and efficient financial products and services to our customers based on the statistical analysis conducted. You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?"

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purpose set out above are: economic, financial and insurance data; data relating to transactions involving goods and services; information about creditworthiness obtained from external sources such as the ASNEF Filing System, BADEXCUG Filing System; other statistical information regarding income data according to the postcode in which you live, obtained from the INE; and other metadata such as the device from which you are connected.

(i) Internal service quality audits.

(ii) Using the recordings as evidence of the instructions received and/or service provided, in court or out of court, if necessary.

(iii) Designing and training models.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in recording your voice, as well as the electronic conversations held with you, in order to: (i) be able to audit the quality of our services and therefore to improve them and make them more efficient; and (ii) respond to information requests from the competent authorities or use the recordings as evidence in court.

- Our legitimate interest in designing, creating and offering innovative and efficient financial products and services to our customers based on different behavioural and risk models created by our algorithms.

You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

4.5.18 Designing and training a machine learning model to validate DNIs

Notwithstanding what we have set out in Section 4.2.1 "Specific data processing relating to the validation of the customer's identity (automated decision)", in order to avoid the irregular opening of current accounts, we will design and train our own algorithm to analyse and study our customers' DNIs and detect common patterns that will enable us to identify falsified documents (currently, we use third-party software to verify the validity of your national identity document).

In particular, to design and train this model, we will use the personal data that appears on the DNIs of active Openbank customers who are Spanish nationals over 18 years of age.

The logic used for this purpose will consist of the capture and processing of the DNI image to perform a recognition analysis on said image and, subsequently, to validate it.

At present, this processing will be exclusively related to the aforementioned activities of designing and training the model, and will have no personal legal consequences for the customers affected. Once we have a final model and we have decided to use it in our customer registration processes, we will provide you adequate information about this, in accordance with the provisions of data protection regulations.

Similarly, we are pleased to inform you that Openbank has a control model that ensures the quality of the information from the algorithms used to design our machine learning models. In this particular case, there will also be a second verification, which will involve a human being who will make the final decision regarding the authenticity of the DNI.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in designing a behavioural model using our algorithms, which enables us to detect false positives and false negatives in the validation of customers' identity documents, and to avoid the irregular opening of current accounts and the resulting risk in terms of money laundering and the terrorism financing. You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purpose set out above are: identity data.

4.5.19 Strong customer authentication using biometric data

As a payment service provider, we are obligated to apply strong customer authentication (SCA) procedures, in order to confirm your identity or the validity of the payment instrument you are using and to strengthen the security of the payment market.

Specifically, strong customer authentication requires that, when we provide certain services, we must use at least two different datasets, known as authentication factors. These factors are divided into three groups: knowledge (something you know), possession (something you have) and inheritance (something you are).

The third of these factors, inheritance, is the biometric verification carried out through physical parameters, such as for example finger prints or facial recognition.

If you have a mobile phone with fingerprint or facial recognition, you can register it for the aforementioned purposes as a "trusted device" on the Openbank app, for which we will process your biometric data.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Your prior and informed consent for biometric data processing. Remember that if you change your mind, you can withdraw the consent you have given us according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

- Legal obligation. Specifically, Directive (EU) 2015/2366 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on payment services in the internal market, amending Directives 2002/65/EC, 2009/110/EC and 2013/36/EU and Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, and repealing Directive 2007/64/EC, transposed in Spain by Royal Decree- Law 19/2018, of 23 November, on payment services and other urgent financial measures.

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purpose set out above are: identity data, including biometric data.

4.6 Sending marketing

In this section, we provide information about the scope, purpose and legal basis for the various forms of processing that we will carry out on your personal data, depending on the different types of marketing we can send you from Openbank. However, please bear in mind that at any time you may exercise your data protection rights as set out in Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?" in relation to this processing and in particular the right to object and/or withdraw your consent. Equally, so that we don't disturb you and ensure that we comply at all times with the law, before processing your data for the purposes of marketing by post or telephone, we will consult the advertising exclusion database (Robinson Lists) included in the report published by the AEPD to confirm that you are not included in any of them, in the case that such consultations are legally required.

4.6.1 Sending marketing about Openbank and its products and services, information related to the purpose of your contract or about benefits associated with the products and services, based on profiles created using data from internal sources (direct marketing) (automated decision)

Once you have engaged our services, your personal data will be used to send you marketing about our own products and services, including those you have taken out (for example, we may send you an email from Openbank about a new virtual debit card). This marketing may be sent using automated and non-automated methods (by post, telephone, SMS, instant messaging applications, email, web push, pop-up or any other digital channel available at any given time), and will be personalised with information extracted from our internal sources and based on which we have generated profiles based on your behaviour patterns.

The purpose of creating these profiles is to be able to assess your financial and personal characteristics, based solely on information from internal sources, in order to determine which of our related products and services best suit your personal situation, based on two variables: your willingness to take out the product and the probability that you will be eligible for the product.

The profile will be created based on an automated decision, in which the following logic will be applied. We will process the information you have provided to determine your payment behaviour, the customer segment(s) to which you belong according to our internal classification criteria and the periodic fulfilment of your contractual obligations. This activity may lead us to decide not to offer you certain products or services, depending on the risk estimated by the institution and the rating resulting from the analysis of the information obtained.

We will also process your personal data to assess your behaviour with regard to the impact and success of our advertising campaigns.

This data processing will be carried out while your contractual relationship with Openbank remains in force, unless you instruct us otherwise by exercising your right to object.

Similarly, since this processing is carried out based on an automated decision, you have the right to request an explanation of the decision made and can exercise your right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, requesting the involvement of one of our analysts to express your point of view on the decision made based on the creation of profiles and to contest it. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in promoting and offering you our products and services, by sending general information or information adapted to your personal characteristics. Openbank's prevailing interest in carrying out this data processing is to maintain our relationship with you by providing new products and improving the conditions of the products and/or services you have taken out, and offering you information about Openbank and its products that could be of interest. We believe that the personal data processing indicated above in no way hinders the normal exercising of your rights and freedoms, as it is a common practice in the business sector, and we therefore trust that receiving this type of information will not fall below your expectations. Similarly, we undertake to use the least disruptive means possible to carry out these data processing activities. You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: identity data; and economic, financial and insurance data.

4.6.2 Sending marketing about Openbank products and services based on information obtained and profiles created from internal and external sources (automated decision)

Provided that you have given us your prior and express consent, Openbank may send you personalised marketing about its own products and services (for example, we may send you an email from Openbank about a new loan) while our contractual relationship remains in force. This marketing may be sent using automated and non-automated methods (by post, telephone, SMS, instant messaging applications, email, web push, pop-up or any other digital channel available at any given time), and will take the analysis of your customer profile into account.

The purpose of creating these profiles is to be able to analyse your financial and personal characteristics, in order to determine which products marketed by this institution best suit your situation, based on two variables: your willingness to take out the product and the probability that you will be eligible for the product.

This profile will be generated based on the analysis of your behaviour and risk patterns, as well as from the information extracted from the external sources set out in Section 3 "What data do we process at Openbank and how do we obtain it?" of this Policy.

The profile will be created based on an automated decision, in which the following logic will be applied. We will process the information you have provided to determine your payment behaviour, the customer segment(s) to which you belong according to our internal classification criteria and the periodic fulfilment of your contractual obligations. This activity may lead us to decide not to offer you certain products or services, depending on the risk we estimate and the rating resulting from the analysis of the information obtained.

It is important that you understand that this data processing activity is restricted to the aforementioned purpose, which is to recommend Openbank products and services based on data obtained from internal and external sources.

Similarly, since this processing is carried out based on an automated decision, you have the right to request an explanation of the decision made and can exercise your right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, requesting the involvement of one of our analysts to express your point of view on the decision made based on the creation of profiles and to contest it. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

Bear in mind that, if you give us your consent for this, we can use information obtained through the Openbanking Financial Aggregator (managed through Tink) for the above profiling in order to send you marketing about our products and services.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Your prior and informed consent to send marketing described above.

- Your prior and informed consent to use the information obtained from the Openbanking Financial Aggregator to send you the marketing described above.

Remember that if you change your mind, you can withdraw the consent you have given us according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: identity data; and economic, financial and insurance data.

4.6.3 Sending marketing about third-party products and services based on profiles created using data from internal and external sources (automated decision)

Provided that you have given us your prior and express consent, Openbank may send you personalised marketing about the products and services of third-party companies (for example, we may send you an email from Openbank about discounts on home insurance). This marketing may be sent using automated and non-automated methods (by post, telephone, SMS, instant messaging applications, email, web push, pop-up or any other digital channel available at any given time) and will take the analysis of your customer profile into account.

Regarding the third-party companies about whose products and services marketing will be sent, please be advised that these institutions carry out their commercial activity primarily, although not exclusively, in the following sectors: financial, insurance, leisure and tourism, entertainment, telecommunications, information society, retail, luxury, health, food, automotive, hospitality, department stores, energy, real estate and security services, among others.

The purpose of creating these profiles is to be able to analyse your financial and personal characteristics, in order to determine which products marketed by these third-party companies best suit your situation, based on two variables: your willingness to take out the product and the probability that you will be eligible for the product.

This profile will be generated based on the analysis of your behaviour and risk patterns, as well as from the information extracted from the external sources set out in Section 3 "What data do we process at Openbank and how do we obtain it?" of this Policy. As such, for example, if the information we have about you shows that you are interested in technology products, we may send you marketing about products offered by companies in that sector.

The profile will be created based on an automated decision, in which the following logic will be applied. We will process the information you have provided, and the information extracted from external sources, to determine your payment behaviour, the customer segment(s) to which you belong according to our internal classification criteria and the periodic fulfilment of your contractual obligations. This activity may lead us to decide not to offer you certain third-party products or services, depending on the risk we estimate and the rating resulting from the analysis of the information obtained.

It is important that you understand that this data processing activity is restricted to the aforementioned purpose, which is to recommend you third-party products and services.

Similarly, since this processing is carried out based on an automated decision, you have the right to request an explanation of the decision made and can exercise your right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, requesting the involvement of one of our analysts to express your point of view on the decision made based on the creation of profiles and to contest it. At this stage, you can provide any additional documentation that you consider necessary.

Bear in mind that, if you give your consent for this, we can use the information obtained through the Openbanking Financial Aggregator (managed through Tink) for the above profiling in order to send you marketing about third-party products and services.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Your prior and informed consent to send the marketing described above.

- Your prior and informed consent to use the information obtained from the Openbanking Financial Aggregator to send you the marketing described above.

Remember that if you change your mind, you can withdraw the consent you have given us according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purposes set out above are: identity data; and economic, financial and insurance data.

4.6.4 Personalised advertising on the Openbank private website

When you access the private section of your profile on our website, we will show you adverts for features, products and services that we believe might interest you based on the products you have taken out. If you wish, you can object to receiving this type of personalised advertising by following the instructions in Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?", but bear in mind that you will still receive general notifications that are not based on your interests or preferences, for example messages that offer an easier way to take out a product and, depending on your privacy settings, you may also receive other types of advertising.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in sending marketing and giving our customers information about Openbank products and/or services that are similar to those they have taken out, because this is the most likely way for them to take out additional ones. You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purpose set out above are: identity data; and economic, financial and insurance data.

4.6.5 Sending information about products and services of interest to you through social media

If you are registered on any social media platform, we will process your personal data for the following purposes:

(i) Showing you adverts aimed specifically at you for Openbank products or services that are similar to those you have previously taken out with us, and which may be of interest to you.

‌To carry out these activities, we will use social media tools developed specifically for these purposes (for example, Facebook Custom Audiences).

Social media privacy policies will give you information about how your data is processed using these tools. With regard to this processing, we will be considered joint data controllers together with the social media platform or separate controllers, as the case may be.

By using these tools, Openbank will create segments according to users' interests and, therefore, if you are a social media user and you are categorised in the audience we select, you may receive Openbank advertising. Bear in mind that in these cases, Openbank only carries out the audience segmentation, it does not have access to the end users affected, and therefore to object to receiving this information you must contact the relevant social media platform.

The legal basis for this data processing is:

- Our legitimate interest in sending marketing though different channels regarding Openbank products and/or services. You can object to this processing based on our legitimate interest according to the provisions of Section 7 "What rights do you have with regard to the processing of your personal data?".

- Notwithstanding the above, when the various social media tools are used to develop a comprehensive profile of you, we will validate that the tool has requested prior and express consent from users to carry out the processing described herein, and to be able to send you information about products and services of interest to you.

The categories of personal data that Openbank will process to fulfil the purpose set out above are: identity data; and economic, financial and insurance data.

4.7 Draws and promotions

Regardless of whether or not you are an Openbank customer, we will process your data when you participate in draws and promotions that we organise, for the purpose of managing your participation in them (including confirmation of compliance with the requirements for participating in the draw/promotion and, where applicable, communicating with you and sending you the prize if you are the winner).

We may also process data for the performance of our legal obligations if you are the lucky winner, and we have to make a tax withholding on the prize. The data will be shared exclusively with the AEAT for tax purposes.

The legal basis for this processing is:

- Correct execution of the contract. Performance of our contractual obligations acquired with you when you accept the terms and conditions for taking part in promotions/draws.

- Legal obligation. Compliance with our tax obligations.

(i) Maintenance and management of the pre-contractual and contractual relationship that binds us to a customer or the person interested in taking out our products or services.

This processing cannot be objected to, as there are compelling reasons for it.

5. HOW LONG DOES OPENBANK KEEP YOUR DATA FOR?

Openbank will keep your data for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was collected and, subsequently, will block the data during the legally required retention periods or limitation periods. Where appropriate, after these periods, we will proceed to destroy or completely anonymise the data.

Blocking means that Openbank will not carry out any processing other than storing the data to make it available to the competent public bodies, judges and courts, or the public prosecutor's office; for any possible liabilities arising from the contractual relationship maintained with you or related to the data processing.

Specifically, if you are a customer, we will process your data throughout the time that you maintain a contractual relationship with us. Once this relationship is terminated, as a general rule, we will keep your personal data blocked. Bear in mind that some actions provided for by consumer regulations, such as cessation or declaration of invalidity, are not subject to any limitation periods.

Your applications or simulations that do not end in you taking out a product will be kept for what we deem a reasonable length of time, to avoid duplications in your management and in case there is any need to respond to a claim regarding our use of your data. We will then proceed to erase the data.

6. TO WHOM DO WE DISCLOSE YOUR DATA?

Openbank may share your personal data with the following recipients according to our legitimate interest, the legal obligations we have to fulfil and/or the products you have taken out:

(i) We will share your personal data with the public authorities, official bodies, banking supervisory and oversight bodies, and competent tax authorities which request said data for the purposes of complying with the regulations in force at any time in the banking and financial sector, the legislation on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing, and legislation governing consumer protection.

(ii) In the event of defaults, we will share the data with financial solvency filing systems (the ASNEF Filing System and BADEXCUG Filing System), complying with the procedures and guarantees established and recognised at all times by current legislation.

(iii) We will share your data with Santander Group companies (in accordance with the provisions of Article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code) to comply with their internal regulations on the prevention of financial crime, their legal obligations with regard to the prevention of money laundering or regulatory reporting to the supervisory authorities.

(iv) When you take out certain products or services (such as funds, pension plans, insurance), we will share your data with third-party companies for the correct provision of the service (i.e., management companies, depository institutions for the products, insurance companies).

(v) ‌If you contract the instant transfer service from Bizum‌, we will transfer your data to this organisation as owner of the directory, as well as institutions signed up to the service (www.bizum.es/entidades), to the beneficiaries and payers in transactions carried out and, where applicable, to the NGOs that have been registered as beneficiaries of donations.

(vi) We will share your data with notaries, when their involvement is required, if the service you have requested from us needs to be notarised (such as granting mortgages).

(vii) Your data will also be disclosed to property appraisal companies when their involvement is required depending on the product you have taken out (as in the case for a mortgage), in order to process the appraisal request and produce the corresponding appraisal report.

(viii) Depending on the product taken out, we may also transfer your data to a management company. For example, in the case of taking out a mortgage loan, we will do this so that they can assist you with processing the documents.

(ix) We will submit your data to public registries (such as the Property Registry) when the relevant guarantees (mortgages) need to be registered.

(x) If you make a creditor subrogation request for the mortgage you hold with Openbank with another institution, we will share with that institution the information required for the purposes of processing the subrogation. Specifically, at the request of the subrogated creditor, we may send them supporting information about the costs of the subrogated loan, in order for that institution to carry out the necessary processing to fulfil its legal obligations, in accordance with the provisions of Law 2/1994, of 30 March, on subrogation and amendment of mortgage loans and Law 5/2019, of 15 March, governing mortgage loan agreements.

(xi) We will share your data with Emailage Limited and Confirma Sistemas de Información, S.L., to detect and prevent possible attempted fraud, respecting and complying with the procedures, rights and guarantees established and recognised at all times by current legislation.

(xii) Similarly, Openbank collaborates with third-party service providers which may have access to your personal data, but they will process data on our behalf as data processors, following our instructions at all times and always to provide us with services that we have engaged from them in each case.

Specifically, Openbank contracts services from third-party providers which operate in sectors including but not limited to the following: logistics services, legal advice, supplier approval, multidisciplinary professional services companies, hosting companies, maintenance-related companies, technological service providers, software service providers, physical security companies, instant messaging service providers, infrastructure management and maintenance companies, call centre service companies and control companies.

In any case, Openbank follows strict selection criteria for third-party service providers in order to comply with our data protection obligations, and we undertake to enter into data processing contracts with them that impose the following obligations, among others: applying appropriate technical and organisational measures; processing personal data for the agreed purposes and only in accordance with our documented instructions; and deleting or returning the data to us once the services have been provided.

(xiii) We will transfer your data internationally only within the scope of some of the aforementioned service provision by third-party service providers.

Their purpose of these international data transfers will be the maintenance and management of the contractual relationship you have with us or the prevention of fraudulent activity or transactions.

These transfers will be carried out to countries offering an adequate level of protection, equivalent to the European Union, as well as countries that do not offer that level of protection. In the latter case, you have nothing to worry about. Openbank uses various regulatory mechanisms to ensure compliance with all guarantees when we process your personal data, such as standard contractual clauses or certification mechanisms.

You can consult the international data transfers that we carry out either directly or subcontracted to one of our service providers here, or by writing to privacy@openbank.es.

4.2. Analytics cookies

These first- or third-party cookies are used to perform statistical analyses of Website usage and to develop improvements that will enhance your browsing experience. For example, we monitor your visits in order to analyse and understand how you use our Website, to make it more intuitive and to quantify the impacts of advertising during your browsing.

Among the analytics cookies used on this Website are GOOGLE ANALYTICS cookies. GOOGLE ANALYTICS is a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. Specifically, the use of Google Analytics allows us to monitor how visitors use the Website, collect reports and help improve the Website. For more information on how cookies work and are disabled, you can visit the Google Privacy Centre websites at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and the Google opt-out add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB. You may also revoke your consent to these, as explained in Section 7 below.

If you consent to the installation of web analytics or performance cookies on your device, please note that GOOGLE ANALYTICS cookies shall be installed. The installation of these cookies may result in Google making international data transfers to the United States, which may, in very isolated and specific cases, involve access to the data by this country’s authorities for investigative and national security purposes. However, as part of our high standards of privacy compliance, we inform you that we have signed the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission on 4 June 2021 with Google Ireland and their subcontractors in the United States as a safeguard mechanism recognised by the GDPR with the aim of preserving the security of the data that may be subject to an international transfer. We also take additional measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal information.

These third-party cookies use information about your device and the type of browsing you perform in order to design and create algorithm-based behavioural models. For example, we analyse the data from your visits to our Websites in order to optimise the design of the products.

These models enable us to build user profiles so that we can send you marketing tailored to your interests.

5. How long are cookies enabled for?

Depending on the type of cookies, and the information we provide about each of them, cookies may remain enabled for a longer or shorter time.

For example, session cookies are designed to collect and store data while you access a website. When the browser is closed or the session expires, these cookies disappear.

We make international transfers of your data, only in the context of some of the above-mentioned service provisions, both to countries providing an adequate level of protection, comparable to that of the European Union, as well as to countries that do not benefit from this level of protection.

Furthermore, in relation to third-party cookies, we would like to remind you that they are either sent from a domain not managed by Openbank but by the relevant third party, or from our domain, in which case the information collected is handled by that third party. You can find more information on any messages provided by third parties, including international data transfers, if applicable, in their respective cookie policies.
