Who receives my data?

Within the Company, those offices or employees will receive your data who require them to fulfill contractual, legal and/or regulatory obligations and legitimate interests. Moreover, commissioned data processors under contract will receive your data (especially IT and back-office service providers) only if these data are required for them to perform their respective service. All data processors are bound by contract to treat your data confidentially and to process them exclusively in the context of their service delivery performance.

If a legal or regulatory obligation applies, public agencies and institutions (European Banking Supervisors, European Central Bank, Austrian National Bank, Austrian Financial Market Supervisory Authority, financial authorities, etc.) and our bank’s auditor and annual auditors may be the recipients of your personal data.

With regard to forwarding data to other third parties we wish to point out that the Company, as an Austrian credit institution, is obliged to observe banking secrecy obligations pursuant to Section 38 BWG and therefore is obliged to maintain secrecy on all customer-related information and facts which were entrusted to us or made accessible to us by virtue of the account relationship. We therefore may only forward your personal data if you explicitly released us in writing and in advance from the banking secrecy obligation or if we are obliged or authorized by law or due to regulatory provisions to do so. The recipients of personal data in this context may include other credit institutions or financial institutions or similar establishments. We transfer data which we require from you for the performance of the account relationship. Depending on the individual agreement, these recipients may include, for example, correspondent banks, stock exchanges, custodian banks or other undertakings affiliated with the Company (by virtue of official or statutory obligation).

Additional data recipients may include those departments for which you issued the respective consent to us (consent to the processing of data, exemption from banking secrecy obligation).

 

What is the storage period for my data?

We process your personal data, insofar as is necessary, for the duration of the entire account relationship (from initiation to processing until termination of a contract) and, beyond this, according to statutory retention and documentation obligations as stipulated, among others, by the Austrian Business Code (UGB), the Austrian Federal Fiscal Code (BAO), the Austrian Banking Act (BWG), the Austrian Financial Markets Anti-Money Laundering Act (FM-GwG), the Austrian Investment Fund Act and the Austrian Securities Supervision Act (WAG).

Moreover, the storage period must take into consideration the statutory periods of limitation which, according to the Austrian Civil Code (Allgemeines Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, ABGB) may be up to 30 years in certain cases (the most commonly referred to period of limitation in practice is 3 years).

 

Which data protection rights do I have?

You have the right of access to your information, the right to rectification, the right to erasure or the right to restrict the processing of your personal data, the right to object to the processing as well as the right to data portability in accordance with the requirements stipulated under data protection laws. Complaints may be lodged with the Austrian Data Protection Authority, Wickenburggasse 8, 1080 Vienna, www.dsb.gv.at.

 

Am I obliged to provide data?

Within the context of the account relationship you must provide such personal data as is necessary for the account relationship to commence and to be performed, the collection of which we are obliged to pursue by law. If you do not provide said data to us, we will reject the formation of the contract or the performance of the contract in general, or will no longer be able to perform the existing contract and consequently, will have to terminate it. However, you are not obliged to issue your consent to the processing of data which are irrelevant or not required by law or regulatory provisions in relation to the fulfilment of the contract.

 

Is there any automated decision-making?

To substantiate and perform the account relationship, we do not use fully-automated decision-making methods in principle as laid down in Article 22 GDPR. Should we apply these methods in the individual case, we will inform you separately of this, provided this is required by law.
