9. Profiling and automated decisions

Profiling

Profiling is a form of automated processing of your personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to you to analyse or predict aspects concerning for example, your economic situation, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

We use profiling and data modelling to be able to offer you specific services and products that meet your preferences, prevent money laundering, determine prices of certain services and products, prevent and detect fraud, evaluate the likelihood of default risk, value assets and for marketing purposes.

Automated decision-making
With automated decision making, we use our systems to make decisions without any human involvement based on the data we have about you. Depending on the specific decision, we might also use information from public registers and other public sources.

We use automated decisions for example to approve loans or credit cards, to prevent and detect anti-money laundering and to prevent and detect fraud. Automated decision making helps us make sure that our decisions are quick, fair, efficient and correct, based on what we know.

In relation to loans and credit cards, we consider information about your income, your expenses and how well you have kept up on payments in the past. This will be used to work out the amount we can lend you.

In relation to the prevention and detection of money laundering, we perform identity and ad-dress checks against public registers and sanctions checks.

In relation to fraud prevention and protection, we do our best to protect you and your account against criminal or fraudulent activity by monitoring your transactions (payments to and from your account) to identify unusual transactions (for example, payments you would not normally make, or that are made at an unusual time or location). This may stop us from completing a payment that is likely to be fraudulent.

You have rights relating to automated decision-making. You can obtain information about how an automated decision was made. You can ask for a manual review of any automated decision. Please see section 11 on “Your rights” and “Automated decision making”.

10. How long do we store your personal data?

We keep your data only for as long as it is needed for the purpose for which your data were registered and used.

When your business connection with us has terminated, we normally keep your data for a fur-ther 7 years. This is primarily due to our obligations under the Bookkeeping Act, the Anti-Money Laundering Act and requirements from the Financial Supervisory Authority. In certain circumstances, we keep your information for a longer period of time. This is the case for exam-ple:

• if your personal information form part of our calculation of our capital requirements, then we may keep your information for up to 20 years,
• if the statute of limitation is 10 years, then we may keep your data for up to 10 years, and
• if required to due to other regulatory requirements.

If you as a potential new customer have asked for an offer for a loan or another product or ser-vice but refuses and do not become a customer, your personal data will normally be stored for six months, but may for some purposes be stored longer, to comply with other legal obligations for example the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
