Links and third-party applications

The application contains links to the websites belonging to the partner merchants.

At the same time, the application offers users the possibility to access third-party applications - to monitor physical activity - by logging in with the account data from that application through the BT Pay application, in order to unlock preferential offers from the Moving Prizes section of BT Pay.

The application also offers users through the Offers section the option of accessing personalized links from partner merchants to access that third parties will be able to know that the person has accessed from BT Pay, so implicitly the fact that it is a BT customer.

The Bank does not manage or control in any way the information that the owners of the websites of the partner merchants or the providers of the third-party applications process in relation to the users, so it cannot guarantee that it is processed and / or protected in accordance with the applicable legal provisions in the field of processing and protection of personal data, as well as, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), Law 506 / 2004, Law 190 / 2018. Also, the bank cannot know and / or guarantee the timeliness or accuracy of the information that these sites / applications hold about you.

Because the bank wants to encourage an active life, within BT Pay it has developed the Awards section on the move, by accessing which users can unlock offers at preferential prices offered by partner merchants with whom the bank collaborates, as well as offers of the Bank.

For this purpose, by accessing a physical activity monitoring application through BT Pay, the Bank will request permission to access certain information related to the activity carried out by the user in the third application. This data will be visible to the user who accessed the respective application through BT Pay in the Moving Prizes section. Of these, the bank will use to allow the unblocking of offers only information related to the number of steps taken, the number of kilometers traveled and / or the number of active minutes ("physical activity data"), as defined in the third-party physical activity monitoring application. In order to verify the user's eligibility to benefit from the offer published in The Moving Prizes and to correctly allocate the prizes, the Bank will store the data on the user's physical activity strictly for the period necessary to fulfill these purposes.

The offers will be able to be unlocked according to one or more of this information, to which will be added, as the case may be, other parameters related to the activity with the card, the sticker, the BT Pay application from a certain period, all these parameters being specifically mentioned in each offer.

You are not obliged to access and use the Moving Prizes section of the BT Pay app. Failure to access this section does not affect in any way the possibility of using BT Pay's services. If you have granted access to the BT Pay application to the information in the motion monitoring application you are using, you can revoke this access at any time from the settings of the third-party application / from the phone settings, the permissions granted to the BT Pay application for taking over the physical activity. In this case, until you have a possible new grant of access, you will no longer be eligible for offers in this category.

Each site and third-party application accessed through the application has its own rules regarding the processing of personal data, so please refer to the policy of each site / application to ensure that it does not contravene your interests.
