Why we process your personal data and on which lawful ground

We are often to be required by law or as a consequence of our contractual relationship with our clients to collect certain personal data. Failure to provide this information may prevent or delay the fulfilment of these obligations.

The performance of a contract that you are a party of

The main purpose of our processing of personal data is to collect, control and process personal data before and when signing agreements with your company, as well as to document, administer and perform what is required to fulfil agreements. We process your personal data when:

  • You are applying for a credit card, accounts, or other services. 
  • You are contacting our customer service. 
  • The processing is performed to establish, assert, or defend legal claims and
    debt. 

Comply with laws & regulations

We must be able to comply with the various laws and regulations in the jurisdictions that we operate in:

  • Anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws (“AML/TF”) – we are required to perform due diligence activities, including identity checks and transaction monitoring.
  • Activities relating to financial crime and market abuse prevention and detection, fraud, tax evasion and corruption.
  • We store your transactions made on the company card to comply with regulatory, accounting and tax reporting requirements.
  • When we are asked to co-operate with regulatory-, judicial and other authorities.
Legitimate interest

We have, in certain circumstances, a legitimate interest in processing your personal data.
When vi process personal data with reference to “legitimate interest” we shall demonstrate that we have justified compelling reasons for the processing and that these reasons take precedence over your interests and rights.

The following are examples of situations where we process personal data using legitimate interest as the legal ground for processing:

  • To perform customer and product analyses to improve our business relationship with you and to provide relevant offers.
  • To improve our business processes in order to provide a better service to you, e.g., when you contact our Customer Service.
  • For fraud monitoring purposes, to unveil fraud situations as early as possible so that you as a customer can feel safe using our products.
  • When we process personal data related to customer surveys.
  • We record the call when you call our customer service. We do that i.a. to document and/or clarify circumstances when concluding agreements as well as to detect and avoid fraud, to improve our services and educate our employees.
Consent

We usually do not base the processing of your personal data on a consent.

If you provide us with your consent to process and store your personal data, you can at any time withdraw such consent. Withdrawal of consent will however not affect any processing of personal data based on the consent prior to the withdrawal.

There might however be other reasons for obtaining a consent from you than for processing of your personal data, e.g., when it is necessary in accordance with local marketing legislation.

Profiling

Profiling is when your personal data is automatically processed, primarily your transaction data on the company credit card.

We use profiling for:

  • combating money laundering and terrorist financing to fulfil our legal obligations
  • fraud prevention, to find and act on fraud behaviors
  • segmenting for marketing research. We use profiling to give you better and relevant offers.
  • the purpose of approving or declining a credit card- or loan application, to secure a proper and correct credit worthiness assessment
Automatic decisions

We use automatic decisions, for instance when you apply for a credit card using our online application form. Such application can be approved or declined by using automatic decisions.

Our automated decisions may sometimes be based on profiling. Where such a decision has legal consequences for you, e.g., a decline of an application or otherwise significantly affects you, you have a right to object to the processing.

In all such instances and where applicable, we take steps to ensure that there are Data Processing Agreements in place to protect your data and to limit access and use of that data strictly for the purposes and to the extent needed for those services to be performed. When a service is terminated, we impose requirements that any data stored outside of SEB is returned to us or destroyed.

One example of the latter is our cooperation with Mastercard where some of your data may be transferred to the United States of America (“USA”).

Another example is when we use Adobe Campaign for IT support services which are performed in EU/EEA as well as in India.

We only make such transfers after having performed a Transfer Impact Assessment (“TIA”) to ensure that GDPR has been followed and if any of the following conditions are met:

  • The European Commission has determined that there is an adequate level of protection in the country in question.
  • We have taken other appropriate protective measures, e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or Binding Company Rules (BCRs). You can obtain a copy of such standard contract by contacting us, see contact details below.

5. General Information

Data Retention

We will store your personal data for as long as it is necessary for fulfilling the purposes for which they were collected. The required retention period differs between the Nordic countries. Below we list some examples on relevant retention periods:

  • If you have a contract with us or is covered by a contract with us, we typically store your personal data for 10 years after our business relationship has ended to be able to exercise our legal claim to defend ourselves. Some data will be deleted after 5 years according to the Money Laundry Act or after up until 10 years according to the Bookkeeping Act (depending on national legislation) e.g., copy of invoices.
  • Marketing activities, such as send outs are saved for a maximum of two years
  • If you are a prospective cardholder and do not have an agreement with us but have provided personal data to us in an application e.g., when your application has been declined, we will store your information for a maximum of two years.
Using our websites and our apps

If you have downloaded one of our apps, we can send information to the device where the app is installed, for example in the form of push notifications. The message may, among other things, contain information that a purchase has been made, an incorrect PIN code has been used or if a purchase has been denied.
In your device's system settings, you can control whether the information is sent or not and how the information is displayed on the device's screen in locked mode.

When the information is sent outside the SEB Group, it is done with uninterrupted encryption until the information arrives at your app.

To be able to do aggregated analysis of user interactions we gather information about what services you use on our website, in our in-logged environment and apps and how you use them.

The information that we collect are:

  • Identification Data, such as IP address, device type and operation system, and
  • Digital Tracking information, such as geographic location.
Your rights

We respect your rights to request access, modification, deletion, and portability of your personal data.

According to the GDPR, you are entitled to control your own personal data and to know how we process information about you. You can contact us if you want to exercise any of your rights.

Sometimes your rights are subject to limitations e.g., when we are unable to delete your personal data due to regulatory requirements and when the retention period has not been reached.

Requesting a personal data extract

You have the right to obtain information about what personal data we process about you. You can obtain this by requesting an extract from us.

Correcting incorrect or incomplete data

Should it turn out that we are processing personal data about you that is incorrect, you are entitled to request the personal data to be corrected. You may also request that an incomplete piece of personal data about you be supplemented.

Deletion of your personal data

You have the right to have any or all your personal data deleted. This is sometimes referred to as “the right to be forgotten”. In some cases, we may be unable to delete all the personal data because this is still necessary for its original purpose, and we still have a legal basis for processing it.

Restricting how we process your data

In some situations, you are entitled to ask for our processing of your data to be restricted for a certain period. This could be, for example, if you believe that some personal data about you is incorrect and we need to verify this. This may also be if you have objected to processing that is based on legitimate interest. In this case, we will assess whether our interests take precedence over yours.

Objecting to how we process your data

If we process personal data about you based on legitimate interest, you may object to this processing. For instance, if we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing.

Transferring your data to another party (“Data portability”)

If we process your personal data based on an agreement or based on your consent, you have the right to access the personal data you have provided to us. If it is technically possible, you also have the right to have the data transferred to another party. This is known as data portability.

Automated decision making

When a decision is based on automatic processing (including profiling), you have the right to contact us to object to being subject to an automatic processing of your personal data.
