    Information note on the processing of personal data for obtaining / increasing the credit line related to a BT credit card, exclusively online

    Who is the controller of personal data?

    BANCA TRANSILVANIA S.A. (hereinafter the "bank" or "BT") credit institution, a legal person Romanian, with the identification and contact data presented in Section III of the General Information Note on the processing and protection of personal data belonging to BT Clients, offers its individual customers the possibility to obtain a BT credit card / increase the credit line related to a BT credit card, exclusively online.

    In the general note indicated above, which forms an integral part of the BT Privacy Policy website, which can also be found separately in the Privacy Hub section of this website, you can find detailed information about your rights in relation to the processing of your personal data, how you can exercise them or how you can contact the BT Data Protection Officer (BT DPO).

    If you want to apply for obtaining or, as the case may be, for the increase of the credit line related to a BT credit card exclusively online, we will process your personal data for several purposes and legal grounds; we alone, as the exclusive data controller or, where appropriate, together with other operators associated with us.

    In this information note, when we refer to the processing of personal data for the application for / obtaining / contracting a BT credit card, the information is also valid for the processing of the data that is carried out when you request the increase of the credit line related to a BT credit card that you have previously obtained (regardless of whether you contracted it in a BT unit or online). 

    Also, when we refer to the processing of personal data for the conclusion and execution of the credit card contract, the information is also valid for the processing of personal data for the conclusion / execution of an addendum to the credit agreement. This addendum will be concluded between you and the bank if you are approved the increase of the credit line related to a card that you have previously obtained (regardless of whether you contracted it in a BT unit or online).

    On what grounds do we process the data and what happens if you refuse to process it?

    The processing of personal data carried out by BT in the context of applying and, where appropriate, contracting an exclusively online credit card are based on the following grounds:

    • the legal obligations to which BT is subject by various normative acts,
    • concluding/executing the credit card contract or taking the necessary steps in order to conclude it,
    • our legitimate interest and/or that of third parties, (e.g. interest in fraud prevention or legitimate interest in consulting your situation in the records of the Credit Bureau SA for the assessment of your creditworthiness, legitimate interest in contacting you for the resolution of situations that may arise when you apply for obtaining/increasing the credit line related to the card),
    • your consent, such as the one for consulting your income in the ANAF database or for verifying your identity and quality as a BT customer based on biometric data.
    If you do not want your data to be processed as we inform you in this information note, you will not be able to obtain your BT credit card exclusively online, but you can apply in a bank unit. Learn more.

    When the law obliges us to carry out some personal data processing or when they are necessary for the conclusion of the credit card agreement, if you refuse to process them, BT will not be able to analyze your request or, as the case may be, you will not be able to contract the BT card.

    For processing based on the legitimate interest of BT or third parties, refusal to process your data may make it impossible for you to submit or for us to review your application or obtain your BT credit card.

    If the processing of personal data is based on your consent (e.g. income interrogation in ANAF, processing of biometric data), we will ask you for this agreement at the right time on the online feed, so that the whole process is as transparent as possible to you. If you refuse to give us this consent, you cannot obtain your credit card exclusively online, but you have the possibility to apply in a BT unit.

    For what purposes do we process personal data, what is the data, for what period do we keep it and to whom can we disclose it?

    In the following lines we present you separately the purposes for which we would process personal data so that you can apply and, where appropriate, contract a BT credit card exclusively online.

    Depending on the purpose of the processing, you will have presented information about the storage period of your data, the categories of data recipients, the existence of automated decision-making processes, as well as the rights you benefit from in relation to the processing of your data.

    A. Personal data processed for the purposes of verifying your identity, for the prevention of fraud, money laundering and terrorist financing, for confirming your status as a BT Customer, and for contacting you for the purposes of providing support or assessing the quality of this BT service.

    The law that applies to us obliges us to verify the identity of the persons with whom we conclude different contracts. We also have a legitimate interest in ensuring that we prevent attempts at fraud through identity theft online.

    When a person requests a credit card in a BT unit, their identity is verified based on the original ID. In the online environment we do not have this possibility, so we will do things a little differently. We have chosen a method that assures us who is the client of BT applying, so that we can prevent possible fraud attempts. This method uses the latest technologies, processing so-called biometric data. However, we will not be able to use this data without your explicit consent. Before you decide freely if you want to express it, here's what the use of your biometric data entails:

    • You'll need to photograph your ID card ("ID"), which also contains your image (requires access to the camera).
    • the computer solution we use will identify in the CI's photo the section that contains your face, select it and then compare it with the face from the copy of your identity card that is already recorded in the records of BT. Comparison is made biometrically, based on criteria such as: color, size and inclination of the eyes, position and distance between the main elements of the face such as the eyes, eyebrows, lips and nose. Following the comparison, the computer solution will issue a trust score, indicating the probability that the face of the two images will belong to the same person.

    If you do not want your biometric data (facial identification) to be processed, you can apply for your credit card in any BT unit, where your identity will be verified without the use of such data.

    Also, if the facial identification tool issues an unsatisfactory confidence score, you will be able to resume the application process in a BT unit.

    If your trust score is satiating, we'll continue to verify your identity and customer status. See more how

    We will automatically retrieve the data from the id being photographed (through optical character recognition), which we will compare with the corresponding data from the copy of your identity document already registered in our records.

    If they match, you can move on to the stream. Otherwise, you'll first need to update your data in BT's records.

    The data taken from the identity card will also be used for the credit card application you make online.

    We will also ask for your contact details - phone number and email address - which we will check to make sure they belong to you, as they are very important in the process of electronically signing the documentation for obtaining your BT credit card online. If we notice that you have not completed the application process, we may use these contact details to see if you need support in completing the application, and to get your opinion on the BT Pay online credit card/ credit line increase process for a previously obtained card.

    B. Personal data processed for credit application analysis, including automated decision-making processes based on profiling

    In order to analyze the application by which you apply for a BT card exclusively online, we process information that concerns you both in our internal records and in the records of the Credit Bureau, in which we consult your situation. All the information related to this processing can be found in point (a) and (b). I and II below.

    Because it is essential to be able to provide you with a quick response to your credit card application addressed online, we will decide to grant the credit or, as the case may be, to reject this request based on the exclusively automatic processing of the data, a decision about which you can find details below, in point II (5).

    The provision of your personal data is necessary for the purpose mentioned in point (2). The refusal to provide your personal data, necessary to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, will lead to the impossibility of Banca Transilvania S.A. to fulfill its legal obligations in connection with the granting of the loan.

    • identification data of the data subject:name, surname, personal identification number or FISCAL code for authorized natural persons or CIF for individuals carrying out liberal professions or country code and series / passport number for non-residents, home address / residence, telephone number, date of birth;;

In order to obtain the Credit Report, Banca Transilvania S.A.va send to the Credit Bureau the name, surname and personal identification number.

    After granting the loan, Banca Transilvania S.A. will send to the Credit Bureau your personal data provided for in points a)-f). This information shall be shared with the other Participants within the Credit Bureau System and shall be used for the purpose referred to in point 2.

    If, during the loan period, you will delay the payment of the installments more than 30 calendar days from the due date, Banca Transilvania S.A. will send to the Credit Bureau information on the outstanding amounts, the category of delay, given to the first arrears and/or, as the case may be, information regarding the opening of the procedure of giving in payment, only after your notification, at least 15 calendar days before, made in writing, by phone, SMS, e-mail or other means of electronic communication.

    5. FICO® Score from credit bureau

    The personal data referred to in point (4) may be processed by the Credit Bureau, including to calculate, at the request of the Participants, fico® score from the Credit Bureau.

    Participants can use FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau in order to reduce the credit risk associated with a debtor/potential borrower.

    FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau is between 300 and 850, obtained from the statistical process that processes the information recorded by the Participants in the Credit Bureau System and indicates the probability that the person concerned will pay his installments on time in the future. The main causes that caused the decrease in FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau are displayed in the form of reason codes.

    FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau takes into account the following elements that confer predictability: payment history, current debt, duration of the credit account(s) (average number of months since the loans were granted), the application for new loans (the number of queries and loans granted in the last 6 months), the credit mix (types of loans granted), the age of the person concerned. The influence of these items on the value of fico® score from the Credit Bureau may vary depending on the information recorded with the Credit Bureau for each person concerned.

    FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau is a highly predictable analysis tool that, in line with the data from the Credit Report and the information obtained by the Participants from other sources, competes in the correct assessment of the creditworthiness of the data subject in order to conclude / carry out the credit agreement.

    If you want to obtain a BT credit card exclusively online, you will need to sign the credit documentation with a qualified electronic signature.

    Study information about the processing of your data for this purpose.

    1. Controllers of personal data

    Pursuant to Articles 13-14 of EU Regulation 679/2016 - General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), Alfatrust Certification S.A. ("Alfatrust") and Banca Transilvania SA ("BT"), inform you about the processing of personal data of the user of the user ("data subject") which he carries out as joint controllers for the purpose mentioned in letter .b of this information.


    2. Purpose and basis of the processing of personal data

    The purpose for which the associated operators process the User's data is to issue and manage the Qualified Digital Certificate (the "Certificate").

    BT is the operator that identifies the User, respectively collects from him the personal data necessary for the issuance of the Qualified Digital Certificate, and transmits them to Alfatrust for this operator to issue the certificate.

    The data that BT collects from Users are those processed by BT in its own records, in the context of the business relationship that is already established between the User and BT at the time of transmitting the data to Alfatrust.

    During the period of validity of the certificate, personal data are processed by the associated controllers, as the case may be, as well as in situations where users request the suspension or revocation of the certificate in the ways detailed in the Terms and Conditions of Service Provision.

    The grounds for the processing of personal data for the defined purpose are the legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.c GDPR), the conclusion /execution of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR) and the legitimate interest of the joint controllers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

    Regarding the legal obligation, both BT - as a credit institution with which the User has established a business relationship, and Alfatrust - as an accredited certification service provider from which the User wants to obtain a certificate, are subject to the applicable legal provisions in the field of prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing according to which they must collect from customers a series of personal data. These data are also necessary for the conclusion / execution of the contract based on which the User is awarded the use of the certificate for signing the documentation in relation to BT.

    In order to support users who wish to make a request for suspension or withdrawal of the certificate, the joint operators justify a legitimate interest in offering them (who are also customers of BT) the possibility to submit these requests not only directly to Alfatrust, but also through BT. The settlement of these requests involves the exchange of the Personal Data of the Users between the two joint controllers.

    Contact details - telephone number, and home address will be processed by any of the associated operators, whenever it will be necessary to contact the end-user for the proper development of the contractual relationship related to the qualified digital certificate.

All this data, as made available by the user to BT, will be transmitted to Alfatrust for the issuance and management of the Qualified Digital Certificate.

    The processing of these personal data is necessary for the generation of the Qualified Digital Certificate. The User's refusal to have this data processed leads to the impossibility of issuing the Qualified Digital Certificate.

    The data subjects of this processing are only the Users, as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use.


    4. Recipients of personal data

    With the exception of the associated controllers between whom an exchange of the personal data processed to fulfill the purpose of the processing will be carried out, the data shall be disclosed, where appropriate, to the providers of IT services, audit services, authorities and institutions entitled to know them.


    5. Period of processing of personal data

    Information on a Qualified Digital Certificate (including personal data) is processed by Alfatrust for a period of 10 years from the date of its termination of validity, in accordance with legally established deadlines.

    At the BT level, the remote electronic signature, applied on the basis of the Qualified Digital Certificate issued by Alfatrust on the documentation signed in relation to BT, is kept for the entire period during which a business relationship is carried out between the User and BT, to which are added the terms established in the applicable legislation.


    6. Rights of data subjects for the processing of their personal data

    Any User, in his capacity as a data subject, is guaranteed the exercise of the following rights with regard to the processing of his personal data, to any of the joint controllers: the right of access, the right to rectification, the right to restriction of processing, the right to delete data, the right to object to data processing, the right to data portability.

    Users can exercise these rights or contact the data protection officers for any questions / requests regarding the processing of your personal data, as follows:
