We process the personal data provided by customers, potential customers and/or interested parties within the framework of our business relationships.

Pursuant to GwG (Anti-Money-Laundering-Act), DenizBank AG is obliged to prove, amongst other things, the identity, the beneficial owner or the trustor of the customer, to check the purpose pursued by the customer, to evaluate the intended nature of the business relationship, to obtain and check information on the origin of the funds used, and to continuously monitor both the business relationship and the transactions carried out within its scope.

Where necessary for providing our services, personal data we have legitimately obtained from the group companies of DenizBank AG or other third parties (e.g. service providers, Scoring-Agencies) are rightfully processed as well (e.g. for the fulfilment of contracts or due to your declaration of consent). Data we have legitimately obtained from publicly available sources (e.g. land registers, company registers and registers of associations, press, media, or the internet) are rightfully processed as well.

The personal data we process include, inter alia, the following details:

In general, the contents and the scope of the personal data we collect depend on the respective products/services. Apart from the data mentioned above, we are allowed to collect process and retain further personal data. These primarily include:

Data resulting from the fulfilment of our contractual obligations (e.g. payment transaction data) or data relating to the order or the payee (e.g. payment orders/standing orders).

Data resulting from the fulfilment of our contractual obligations (e.g. turnover), direct debits, documentation data (e.g. memos, consultation records).

Information on knowledge and/or experience with regard to securities (MiFID II status), investment behaviour/strategy (scope, frequency, risk-taking), profession, financial situation (assets, liabilities, income from salaried employment/selfemployment/commercial operations, expenses), foreseeable changes in the financial circumstances (e.g. beginning of retirement), specific objectives/essential concerns in the future (e.g. planned acquisitions, settlement of liabilities), tax-related information, documentation data (e.g. suitability statement).

Product data, documentation data (e.g. memos).

Documents relating to the customer's creditworthiness (proof of income (e.g. payslips, third-party statements)), professional situation (employer, nature and duration of the employment relationship), marital status and number of dependent children, scoring/rating data, purpose of use, documentation data (e.g. memos).

In the course of the establishment of the business relationship as well as for its duration, we may contact you – personally, by phone or in writing – and collect further personal data (e.g. information about the contact channel, date, occasion and result) as well as information on the participation in marketing measures.

The aforementioned data are processed in accordance with the data protection regulations. Moreover, our data processing is based on the justifications stipulated in Article 6 Section 1 GDPR only. The main purposes are as follows:

Personal data are processed for the execution of banking transactions and for the brokerage of insurances, building society savings plans and private loans. These transactions and activities are carried out within the framework of the performance of the contracts entered into with you or for the implementation of precontractual measures.

The specific details concerning the purpose of the processing of your personal data primarily depend on the specific product/service (see section 2). They can be looked up in the corresponding contractual documents and in our terms and conditions.

Processing of personal data may be necessary for the purpose of fulfilling various legal obligations (e.g. from the Banking Act, the Financial Market Money Laundering Act, the Securities Supervision Act, the Stock Exchange Act, etc.) as well as for prudential requirements (e..B the European Central Bank, the European Banking Supervision, the Austrian Financial Market Supervisory Authority, etc.) to which the Bank is subject as an Austrian credit institution. Examples of such cases are:


We may process your personal data for the following purposes (non-exhaustive list):

If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. for email advertising), the processing activity performed on the basis of your consent is deemed lawful. Your personal data will be processed exclusively for the purposes and within the scope defined in your declaration of consent. You may revoke your declaration of consent at any time with effect for the future. This also applies to declarations of consent given before entry into force of the GDPR (25 May 2018).

If required for the safeguarding of our legitimate interests or those of third parties, we will process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract based on the balancing of interests. Data processing for the safeguarding of legitimate interests occurs, for instance, in the following cases:



Personal data will only be processed and retained for as long as necessary for the fulfilment of the aforementioned purposes and, in any case, for the duration of the entire business relationship as well as beyond this period in compliance with the supervision requirements or statutory retention periods, the statutory warranty periods or contractual guarantee periods or whenever there are any other lawful reasons that justify the retention on a case-bycase basis.

Your data will be deleted upon fulfilment of the purpose as well as upon termination of the statutory retention periods, the statutory warranty periods or the contractual guarantee periods. In case of legal disputes, however, when the data are needed as evidence, they will not be deleted before the disputes are settled. The retention and documentation obligations result, inter alia, from the Commercial Code, the Federal Tax Code, the Banking Act, the Financial Market Anti-Money Laundering Act and the Securities Supervision Act 2018.

Within the scope of our due diligence obligations relating to the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing, we are obliged to obtain and retain certain personal documents and information at the time the business relationship is entered into or whenever occasional transactions are to be executed. In particular, we will retain copies of the documents and information required for the fulfilment of the due diligence obligations described. The same applies to the transaction slips and records required for the tracing of transactions.

The statutory limitation periods pursuant to the Civil Code of Austria (ABGB) are to be considered as regards the retention and storage periods. The ABGB stipulates a general limitation period of up to 30 years (from the date of damage/occurrence of the damage) and, in certain cases, a special limitation period of three years (from the date on which the damage and the injuring party are known). Where processing is based on your consent, the data will not be deleted until you have revoked your consent.

Within the Bank, only those departments and/or employees that require your data for the fulfilment of our contractual, statutory and supervisory obligations as well as for our legitimate interests will be given access to your data. Apart from that, we may disclose your personal data to processors (service providers) if these comply with the data protection requirements stipulated in writing in the order processing agreements and if these are bound by confidentiality obligations. In case we commission a processor, we remain responsible for the protection of your personal data.

As regards the disclosure of data to recipients outside the Bank, we point out that contractualy, we are obliged not to disclose any customer-related information confided or made available to us due to the business relationship. We are not entitled to disclose your personal data unless required by legal and/or supervisory provisions. Besides, we may disclose your personal information if you have given your consent or released us from our secrecy obligation in writing.

Where this is strictly necessary for the aforementioned purposes, we will disclose your personal data to the categories of recipients mentioned below. However, this only occurs to the extent necessary.

Data is not transmitted outside the European Union (to socalled third countries) unless required to execute your orders, stipulated by law (e.g. due to fiscal reporting obligations) or allowed due to your consent.

If required in individual cases, we may transmit your data to an IT services provider (processor) established in a third country in order to ensure the smooth running of the Bank's IT operations. However, this is done in compliance with the European level of data protection. In this respect, we would like to point out that we do not use processors outside the European Union unless the European Commission has taken an adequacy decision with regard to the third country concerned, or unless we have agreed upon EU standard contractual terms or binding internal data protection regulations which oblige the processor to comply with the European level of data protection.

Appropriate technical and organisational measures have been implemented in order to ensure the protection and security of your personal data. These technical and organisational measures protect your personal data against access by unauthorised third parties. They include, in particular, an authorisation concept as well as procedural, organisational and digital protective measures concerning our IT infrastructure.

These measures are updated on a continuous basis using state-of-the-art technology. Besides, they are regularly checked within the framework of internal and external audits.
