1. Who is the Data Controller for processing my data?

"Open Bank S.A." (hereinafter "Openbank").

Paseo de la Castellana 24, 28046, Madrid (Spain).

Contact Information for the Data Protection Officer: privacy@openbank.es

2. What data do we collect about you?

The personal data we make use of when providing our services to you may include: data related to your identity and contact information, financial information, geolocalisation data, your personal and commercial profile, your image and voice, calls we have made to or received from you, your IP address, your navigation at our websites or use of our mobile apps, data we obtain through your use of terminals such as portable devices, POS terminals, or ATMs, or data collected via other legitimate channels.

We may also make use of any other personal data that may be required in order to manage the products and services that we will describe for you below, and that you have either provided to us directly or that we have gained access to as a result of your queries, requests, or applications, or through your contracting of any operation or transaction.

3. For what purpose does Openbank process my personal data, and what is the legal basis for this?

Openbank may process your data for the following purposes, and according to the following legal bases::

a) For your registration as a customer and for development, management, and maintenance of our contractual relationship.

If your request or application is accepted, we will process your data in order to register you as an Openbank customer and to carry out the appropriate development, management, and maintenance of any contractual relationship we establish with you. We will also use your data to send you the various communications that may be required while you are our customer.

Throughout the contractual relationship you maintain with Openbank, situations may arise where we record your voice and/or image. In such situations –which we will inform you of, expressly and in advance, when they occur– recordings of our phone calls and/or video conversations with you will be stored for two purposes: for internal auditing of our service quality, and in order to use the recordings as evidence –in a court of law or under other circumstances–, if required.

We will also store your identification document (including your image) and view it when necessary using any means, format, or medium, for the exclusive purpose of verifying your identity when this is required in order to comply with the terms of the contract signed with you.

All the data indicated on our form as “required” are necessary for purposes of maintaining your contractual relationship with Openbank. This means that if you do not provide this information, it may not be possible to process your request or application.

We may also perform additional processing depending on which product you contract, as we will explain to you below:

If you contract an Asset Product, for example a MORTGAGE / LOAN / CREDIT CARD / OVERDRAFT PROTECTION:

At Openbank we will process (i) the information you provide to us; (ii) the information we obtain from querying the internal and external filing systems described further below; and (iii) the data we have obtained from your interaction with our website. This is done in order to manage and analyse your request or application, by verifying and assessing your creditworthiness and credit risk. This allows us to assess your request or application and approve it or deny it, based upon the risk criteria established at this institution, and to comply with the regulations applicable to our industry.

In order to manage and analyse your request or application, we will consult internal and external filing systems related to creditworthiness, credit history, and fraud, such as ASNEF (Spain’s National Association of Financial Credit Institutions), CIRBE (the Bank of Spain’s Risk Information Centre), and CONFIRMA (a Spanish information services company), or those maintained by other international entities that perform an equivalent function.

Openbank will not be able to process your request or application without first performing this analysis. This processing will be carried out in compliance with the legislation in force on consumer credit and mortgage financing, or any other applicable regulations.

Likewise, if your request or application is denied based upon such queries, you will be immediately informed about this and you will be able to submit any claims you consider appropriate.

The risk study. Ratings applied and their consequences:

Openbank has established an automated risk assessment system. This system uses point score ratings that take personal and economic information into account, including:

1. information taken from the documentation you have provided to us;

2. information appearing in Openbank’s filing systems related to your behaviour during other operations contracted with us (both those still in effect and those that have ended); and

3. information appearing in the filing systems to which we have access and that contain information on creditworthiness, credit history, or fraud, such as ASNEF, CIRBE, and CONFIRMA, or those maintained by other international entities that perform an equivalent function.

The results from our study of such information may cause your request or application to be approved or denied, and it may lead to sending of commercial offers and opportunities to you, including those related to pre-approval of loans or credit facilities. All of this is based on the conclusion we reach regarding your ability to comply with the repayment obligations you take on in relation to the amounts you borrow.

More specifically, Openbank may classify you internally based upon those queries and upon the number of other products you have contracted and/or the activities you perform. It may also produce credit risk reports and models as necessary for analysing and assessing the risk derived from your operations in progress and products contracted, in order to update our information. This may even produce, as a result, denial of your request or application to contract the product, or otherwise, it may cause you to be required to establish a payment guarantee, with all of this based upon the risk that may be detected by Openbank and the credit rating resulting from the analysis of such information.

In relation to this, we must also clarify that Openbank performs periodic reviews of that system to ensure that no errors, inaccuracies, or incorrect conclusions occur in relation to those assessments. Without prejudice to the above, if you disagree with the results of the assessment, you may contest it by providing any information you believe may refute the decision adopted, and you may also request the personal intervention of one of our analysts.

If you contract a Liability Product, such as a SALARY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT / CURRENT ACCOUNT / SAVINGS ACCOUNT / TERM DEPOSIT:

At Openbank we will process the information you provide to us, or as applicable, the information we obtain from your interaction with our website, in order to manage your request or application.

These pre-contractual measures are necessary in order to process the request you have submitted and take a decision on it, and for this reason you must provide all of the data indicated on the form as “required”. Otherwise, it will not be possible for you to contract the product you have requested or applied for.

If you contract a Means of Payment product, such as a DEBIT CARD / PREPAID CARD / BIZUM (INSTANT PAYMENTS) / MOBILE PAYMENT APPS:

At Openbank we will process the information you provide to us, or as applicable, the information we obtain from your interaction with our website, in order to manage your request or application.

Additionally, certain mobile apps used to make payments may require you to accept Openbank’s terms and conditions and/or those of the corresponding service provider before you are able to start using them.

These pre-contractual measures are necessary in order to process the request you have submitted and take a decision on it. If you do not provide the required information, it will not be possible for you to contract the product or service you are requesting or applying for.

If you contract an Investment Product, such as STOCKS / INVESTMENT FUNDS / WARRANTS / PENSION PLANS / SECURITIES ACCOUNTS / INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS:

At Openbank we will process the information you provide to us or the information we obtain from your interaction with our website, in order to manage and analyse your request or application. Depending on the investment service you have requested and the product involved, we may approve or deny your request for contracting these in compliance with the current regulations.

If you want to subscribe to an investment fund or contract a pension plan, you will need to provide your consent for Openbank, as the marketing entity for the fund or plan, to disclose your data to the corresponding manager or management firm, in order to allow your subscription or contracting and/or the associated management to take place. Furthermore, if you submit a request for a transfer from Openbank to another institution, your data may be sent to the recipient institution for the purpose of transferring your balance and the economic rights you have accrued.

These measures are necessary in order to process the request you have submitted and take a decision on it, and for this reason you must provide all of the data required. Otherwise, it will not be possible for you to contract the product you have requested or applied for.

If you contract an INSURANCE Product:

At Openbank we will process the information you provide to us or the information we obtain from your interaction with our website, in order to manage and analyse your request or application. Depending on which insurance product you request or apply for, we will notify you in each case, and in an individualised manner, regarding all legal aspects related to the associated data processing. These include, for example, the uses we make of your data and any third parties that may be involved in the contracting process.

These pre-contractual measures are necessary in order to process the request you have submitted and take a decision on it, and for this reason you must provide all of the data indicated on the form as “required”. Otherwise, it will not be possible for you to contract the product you have requested or applied for.

b) Based upon Openbank’s legitimate interest

In order to meet your expectations, improve our products and services, and increase your degree of satisfaction with your customer experience, Openbank will process the personal data associated with your use of our products and services in order to carry out surveys or market studies, or to compile internal statistics, produce sales reports, or notify you about loyalty programmes, promotions, and prize draws.

We may also perform pseudonymisation of your data, which means that the data resulting from that process cannot be attributed to you. In other words, we will not be able to associate the information we are processing with you as an individual unless we use additional information and processes to do so. The purpose of these procedures is simply to use the pseudonymised information for statistical purposes and for behavioural modelling. Furthermore, in cases where you are acting in representation of a commercial enterprise interested in collaborating with us, Openbank will process your contact data exclusively for purposes of maintaining the communications that may be necessary for managing the collaboration request, and for normal development of such collaboration if it does become formalised.

At Openbank, and based upon a legitimate interest, we may perform the processing described above while respecting your privacy and rights at all times. In any case, remember that you may always exercise your right to object, as described in section 8 of this document.

c) Prevention of money laundering and other legal obligations

There are certain legal obligations that Openbank must comply with in order to manage your existing products/services or those that you may apply for and contract, such as those required under Spanish Act 10/2010 on Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (Ley 10/2010 de Prevención del Blanqueo de Capitales y Financiación del Terrorismo), Spanish Act 44/2002 on Financial System Reform (Ley 44/2002, de Reforma del Sistema Financiero), and Spanish Act 10/2014 on the Organisation, Supervision and Solvency of Credit Institutions (Ley 10/2014, de Ordenación, Supervisión y Solvencia de Entidades de Crédito). In order to do this, we will disclose your data, especially in relation to possible non-payment, to banking control and supervision entities such as the Bank of Spain’s Risk Information Centre (CIRBE), or to any other international entities that carry out an equivalent function.

Additionally, Openbank may disclose certain information regarding your tax residency and your accounts to Spain’s Taxation Agency (AEAT), which in turn may be required to submit it to the competent taxation authorities in other countries in compliance with legislation on automatic exchanges of tax information (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) established by the United States of America and the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) established by the OECD).

These legal obligations will exist and will be fulfilled by Openbank even after the termination of the contractual relationship with you, as long as we are legally bound to do so.

d) Detection of possible fraud attempts

1. At Openbank we may consult your data in our own internal sources, for the purpose of detecting and preventing situations of possible fraud (such as unauthorised access to the personal data of customers, possible attempts at identity theft, or any other situation that may be interpreted as a fraudulent or unauthorised use of the account), all for the purpose of protecting the interests of our customers and users.
   
   If we detect any attempt at fraud, and unless there are any concurrent circumstances related to the public interest, we will notify you about this, review the information available, and if applicable, request additional information from you. Also, as a precautionary measure and until we have been able to carry out the appropriate confirmations, any pending automated or non-automated decision-making will be suspended.
   
   In addition, if possible fraud attempts occur that could affect the contractual relationship you maintain with Openbank, fraud detection and management entities will be notified about these, while at all times complying with and respecting all of the procedures, rights, and guarantees that exist for your protection under the legislation in force.
   
   All of the above will take place based upon Openbank’s legitimate interest, its duty to comply with requirements on adequate risk control, and the need to prevent possible fraud attempts.
    

2. Furthermore, and also for the purpose of detecting and preventing possible fraud attempts, Openbank is a subscriber to the CONFIRMA File System, and as such we are obligated to notify you of the following:
   
   “Applicants are hereby informed that data from the present application may be communicated to the CONFIRMA File System, for the purpose of fraud prevention. The legal basis for processing of this personal data is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in preventing fraud (Recital 47 of the GDPR). The data will be stored for a maximum period of two years.
   
   The data controllers are the Entities Subscribing to the Regulations of the CONFIRMA File System, and the data processor is Confirma Sistemas de Información, S.L., which has its registered office at Avda. de la Industria 18, Tres Cantos 28760, Madrid (Spain). Applicants may view the list of entities currently subscribing to the Regulations of the CONFIRMA File System at the website www.confirmasistemas.es.
   
   The entities allowed to participate in the CONFIRMA File System are those that adhere to its Regulations and may be potentially subject to contracting fraud based on their field of activity.
   
   The data communicated to the CONFIRMA File System may be transferred to entities that subscribe to the Regulations of the CONFIRMA File System. It is not expected that any data will be transferred to any foreign countries or international organisations.
   
   In accordance with the legislation in force on the subject of data protection, the parties signing may exercise their rights to access, rectify, request the erasure of, restrict the processing of, or object to the use of their data by writing to the registered office of the data processor, CONFIRMA SISTEMAS DE INFORMACIÓN, S.L., at the address indicated above. Likewise, those signing may also exercise their right to submit a claim to the Supervisory Authority.
   
   Confirma Sistemas de Información, S.L. has designated a Data Protection Officer, with the relevant contact email address being dpo@confirmasistemas.es.

e) Possible non-payment

If any circumstances of non-payment occur, this may be notified to these to credit information file systems such as ASNEF (Spain’s National Association of Financial Credit Institutions) and CIRBE (the Bank of Spain’s Risk Information Centre), since it is legally required, or to international entities that carry out an equivalent function. Such notifications will at all times comply with the procedures, rights, and guarantees established and recognised by the legislation in force.

All of the above will take place based upon the legitimate interest of Openbank, who must prevent circumstances of non-payment and maintain an adequate system for monitoring these, and also based on the legitimate interest of third-party financial institutions in knowing about the existence of non-payment situations when receiving new applications for financing.

Personalised commercial actions by Openbank

1. Based on a legitimate interest:
   
   Openbank may send you commercial communications about its own products and services that are similar to the ones you have contracted, and adapted to your profile, interests, and needs (sent via postal mail, telephone, fax, SMS, instant messaging apps, social networks, email, push notifications, or any other electronic or digital means available at any given time), or it may produce sales reports, statistics, surveys, and market studies, including you in and informing you about loyalty programmes and prize draws, all for the time period during which you remain a customer.
   
   Please note that in such cases we do not need to obtain your consent before sending these communications to you, since according to the legislation in force, Openbank is authorised to deliver these provided that they are related to products and services that are similar to those you have already contracted. However, at any time you may exercise your rights as described below in section 8.
   
   In order to personalise the commercial communications described, and based upon the legitimate interest recognised by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, Openbank will process the information appearing in its own sources for the purpose of creating profiles that are generated based upon common patterns of behaviour.

2. With your express consent in advance:
   
   a) If you authorise us to do so, Openbank may send you commercial communications about our own products and services adapted to your profile, interests, and needs (via postal mail, telephone, fax, SMS, instant messaging apps, social networks, email, push notifications, or any other electronic or digital means available at any given time), and that are personalised based upon a profile of your behaviour and risk that we may produce using both our own internal sources and those of third parties  (such as ASNEF, CIRBE or other international entities that perform an equivalent function), as well as using data about your navigation and/or use of the Internet.
   
   Please note that the social networks through which we send you commercial communications may be located outside of the European Union, such as in the United States of America, and their level of privacy protection may not be equivalent to that required by the local legislation in force. However, their use will allow Openbank to provide you with a more dynamic and efficient service from a technological perspective.
   
   In order to send you commercial communications and offers adjusted to your creditworthiness and risk profile, Openbank will consult your credit history as produced during the various operations you have carried out with us, and it will also analyse your behaviour during your operations currently in effect and those finalised during a period covering the last six years.
   
   b) At Openbank, based upon the type of authorisation you have granted, we may send you, by any means (postal mail, telephone, fax, SMS, instant messaging apps, social networks, email, push notifications, or any other electronic or digital media available at any given time), commercial communications related to the products or services of other companies that we have signed collaborative agreements with, adapted to your interests and needs, or personalised based upon the profile created for you by taking into account both our own internal sources and those of third parties  (such as ASNEF, CIRBE, or any international entities that perform an equivalent function), or using data related to your navigation and/or use of the Internet.
   
   Please note that the social networks through which we send you commercial communications may be located outside of the European Union, such as in the United States of America, and their level of privacy protection may not be equivalent to that required by the local legislation in force. However, their use will allow Openbank to provide you with a more dynamic and efficient service from a technological perspective.
   
   Openbank may sign agreements with enterprises operating in the following fields, with the possibility of new fields being added in the future: banking products, financial products, insurance products, pension and savings products, consumer products and services, and personal products and services.
   
   The provisions in sections a) and b) depend upon whether you have given us your authorisation, which in all cases you will be able to modify or withdraw at any time.

4. How long will Openbank store my data?

At Openbank we will process your data during the entire time you maintain a contractual relationship with us. Once that relationship has ended, we will store your personal data securely during the time periods established in each case by the applicable regulations: as a general rule, for 10 years once the obligations arising from your contract have ended, as we are required to do by the regulations on prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism, and for up to 20 years based upon the regulations on mortgages. Once these legally required time periods have expired we will destroy your data.

All of this is done without prejudice to our obligation to comply with the legal limitation periods that may be derived from each of the contracts you have signed with Openbank.

Data from any applications or simulations that you begin to complete but that do not lead to contracting will be stored during a maximum period of 6 months, in order to avoid duplications in your procedures and in case any claims arise in relation to the use we have made of your data. We will then proceed to delete the data.

5. What recipients may Openbank disclose your data to?

Openbank will not share your personal data with any other entity without obtaining your express consent, unless we are legally required to do so.

However, at Openbank we collaborate with third-party service providers that may have access to your personal data, but they will be processing such data on our behalf, and at all times when doing so they will be following our instructions and using your data only to provide us with the services we have contracted with them.

Specifically, at Openbank we contract for provision of services with third-party service providers that carry out their activities in fields that include, without limitation, logistical services, legal consulting, private appraisal services, supplier authorisation services, multidisciplinary professional services companies, hosting companies, companies related to maintenance, technology services companies, IT services companies, physical security companies, instant messaging service providers, infrastructure management and maintenance companies, and call centre services companies.

In all cases, at Openbank we follow strict criteria for selection of our third-party service providers, in order to comply with our obligations on the subject of data protection, and we are committed to signing the corresponding data processing contracts with them. These contracts are used to impose upon them the following obligations, among others: to apply appropriate technical and organisational measures, to process personal data only for the agreed-upon purposes and only in response to our documented instructions, and to erase or return the data once the provision of services is completed. 

6. Do I need to keep my data up-to-date?

In order to allow us to communicate with you properly, we request that you should make sure that all data you provide for our databases is correct, complete, accurate, and fully up-to-date.

Thus, if any of the personal data you have provided to us changes, especially your postal address, email address, and contact phone numbers (landline and mobile), we ask you to notify us about this as soon as possible via one of the channels indicated in section 8.

In the event that you do not notify us about such changes, you acknowledge and agree that any communications sent by us to the postal address or email address, or to the contact telephone numbers appearing in our file systems are valid, binding, and fully effective.

7. Where can I find the legal terms and conditions for use of my data?

You can find the legal terms and conditions that apply to our use of your personal data both in this document and in the Data Protection Policy posted at our website www.openbank.es/privacy-cookies. We will notify you immediately about any possible modifications we need to make to these terms and conditions, at least by means of the website itself but also by means of a personalised message we will send to you within the private area after you login to access your customer profile.
