    Information note on the processing of personal data for obtaining / increasing an overdraft exclusively online, 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 customers natural persons who are holders of debit cards the possibility to obtain / increase the credit line in the current account to which this debit card is attached, exclusively online. This type of credit is hereinafter referred to as the 'overdraft'.

    In the general note indicated above, which forms an integral part of the BT Privacy Policywebsite, 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 an overdraft 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 an overdraft, the information is also valid for the data processing that is carried out when you request the increase of an overdraft that you have previously obtained (regardless of whether you have contracted it in a BT unit or online).

    Also, when referring to the processing of personal data for the conclusion and performance of the credit agreement, 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 to increase the credit line of a card you have previously obtained (regardless of whether you took it out in a BT establishment or online).

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

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

    • the legal obligations to which BT is subject by various normative acts,
    • the conclusion/execution of the overdraft contract or the completion of 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 to assess your creditworthiness, legitimate interest in contacting you to resolve situations that may arise when you apply for obtaining/increasing your overdraft line of credit),
    • 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.

    When the law obliges us to carry out some processing of personal data or when they are necessary for the conclusion of the overdraft contract, 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 overdraft.

    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 consider your application or to obtain/increase the overdraft.

    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 stream, so that the whole process is as transparent as possible towards you. If you refuse to give us this consent, you can't get the overdraft exclusively online, but you can apply to 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 separately the purposes for which we would process your personal data so that you can apply and, as the case may be, contract an overdraft 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 purpose of providing support or evaluating 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 an overdraft in a BT unit, his or her identity is verified on the basis of the identity document presented in the original. 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 BT client 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 freely decide whether you want to express it, here's what the use of your biometric data involves:

    • 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 picture of the CI the section that comprises your face, select it and then compare it with the face from the copy of your identity document that is already recorded in the BT records. The comparison is made biometrically, based on criteria such as: the color, size and inclination of the eyes, the position and the distance between the main elements of the face such as the eyes, eyebrows, lips and nose. Following the comparison, the IT solution will issue a confidence score, indicating the probability that the face in the two images belongs to the same person.

    If you do not want your biometric data (facial identification) to be processed, you can apply for overdraft 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.

    We will automatically retrieve the data from the photographed CI (through optical character recognition), which we will compare with the corresponding data from the copy of your identity document already recorded in our records. If they match, you can move on to the stream. Otherwise, you will first need to update your data in BT records.

    The data taken from your ID will also be used for the overdraft request 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/upgrading the overdraft online. If we notice that you have not completed the application flow, we may use these contact details to see if you need support in completing the application, but also to get your opinion on the BT Pay flow for obtaining an overdraft/enhancing the credit line of a previously obtained overdraft.

    B. Personal data processed for the analysis of the credit application, including automated decision-making processes based on the creation of profiles

    In order to analyze the application by which you apply for an overdraft 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. I and II below.

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

    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.

    The FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau is a number 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 data subject will pay his/her installments on time in the future. The main causes that caused the decrease of 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 after granting the loans), the application for new loans (number of queries and credits granted in the last 6 months), the credit mix (types of loans granted), the age of the data subject. The influence of these elements on the value of the FICO® Score from the Credit Bureau may vary depending on the information recorded with the Credit Bureau for each data subject.

    Fico® Score from the Credit Bureau is a tool of analysis with a high degree of predictability that, in addition to the data from the Credit Report and the information obtained by the Participants from other sources, competes to correctly assess the creditworthiness of the data subject in order to conclude / carry out the credit agreement.

    D. Information on the processing of personal data for the purpose of issuing and managing the Qualified Digital Certificate issued to the User by Alfatrust Certification S.A. for signing the documentation in relation to BT

    If you want to get an overdraft exclusively online, you will need to sign the credit documentation with a qualified electronic signature. Issuing and using the digital certificate for signing does not entail costs for you, but it is necessary for BT and Alfatrust to process together, as joint controllers, personal data concerning you for the issuance of this electronic signature.


    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 SÄ‚ ("BT"), inform you about the processing of your personal data as a User ("data subject") that they carry out as associated controllers for the purposes mentioned in letter b of this information.


    2. Purpose and basis of personal data processing

    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 associated operators (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 wishes 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 it 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 performance of the contractual relationship related to the qualified digital certificate.


    3. Categories of personal data and persons whose personal data are processed

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 deadlines 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:
