2. What and why we process data

When you use our Websites, we process personal data relating to you. This is done for the following purposes, for instance: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will process your email address to be able to send the newsletter. You give us your permission to do so. When filling in our contact form, we will process your contact data to be able to respond to your request. You give us your permission to do so. If you apply for one of our vacancies, we will process your contact data and resumé. You give us your permission to do so. If you agree, we will retain your data for our recruitment pool. In principle, we obtain the above-mentioned personal data directly from you. However, if you choose to register through a social media account (for example Facebook LinkedIn), this information is collected through your social media profile. We recommend that you consult the privacy policy of your social media service provider to determine which data is processed by your social media service provider when you use the social media login function. We will not send any of the personal data you provide through the Website to social media providers unless you consent to this. In addition to the above-mentioned objectives, we can also process your personal data: to provide you in a personalised and efficient manner with the information on products and services that you request, either through the Website, by email, by telephone or through social media channels; to process your personal data so that we can provide the Services; for direct marketing purposes, i.e. to be able to provide you with targeted communication, promotional and other offers and any other advertisements that we may have available; to perform statistical analyses to improve our Website and/or Services or to develop new products or services (see our cookiepolicy for more info) to provide to a financial institution or payment service provider, to enable your financial institution and the payment service provider to fulfil his, her or its statutory obligations; to transmit to the police or the judicial authorities as proof of possible crimes or if there are founded suspicions of an unlawful deed or crime that you committed by means of your registration in or the use of the Website or the Services; within the context of a possible merger with, acquisition of/by or demerger by a third party, even if such third party is outside the EEA.

3. With whom do we share data?

We do not send your personal data to third persons in a way that you can be identified without your express permission to do so if this is not necessary to provide the Services. We can rely on external processors to offer the Website and/or Services to you. We ensure that third-party processors may only process your personal data on our behalf and pursuant to our written instructions. We guarantee that all external processors are selected with the necessary care, so that we can rest assured of the security and integrity of your personal data. We can transmit anonymised and/or aggregated data to other organisations that can use these data to improve products and services, and to organise bespoke marketing, presentation and the sale of products and services.

4. Where we process data

We and our external processors will only process your identifiable personal data in the EEA. We can transfer our anonymised and/or aggregated data to organisations outside the EEA.
