For what purpose does Landshypotek process personal data?
Our processing of personal data has different purposes, see an overview further below.
Processing of personal data by someone other than Landshypotek Bank
Processing of personal data can, within the framework of current rules on bank secrecy, take place by Landshypotek Ekonomisk Förening and by companies who processes personal data on behalf of the bank or by companies which the bank cooperates with to perform its services, for example Upplysningscentralen (UC), Bankgirocentralen (BGC), Finansiell ID-teknik (Mobile Banking ). The legal basis for the processing is the bank's performance of an agreement or due to the bank's legitimate interest.
Transfers to third countries
In some situations, we may transfer personal data to recipients outside the EU and the EEA (the European Economic Area), so called “third countries” as well as to international organizations. Transfer of personal data to a recipient outside of the EU/EEA will only be made if such transfer if compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
For how long do we hold your personal data?
We only hold your personal data as long as it is required in order to fulfil the conditions in the contract for any products and services you have with the bank and thereafter for a maximum of 10 years. Other deadlines may apply when personal data is stored for purposes other than due to the contractual relationship and is for the bank to comply with current legislation regarding, for example, statute of limitation (10 years), counteracting money laundering (5 years) and accounting rules (7 years).
In some cases, the information may be stored for a longer period of time due to capital adequacy regulation that the bank must comply with.
If you do not enter into an agreement with the bank, the personal data is normally stored for a maximum of 3 months, but the data may in some cases be stored longer due to, for example, money laundering legislation.
Your rights
You as a customer have the right to receive information about which of your personal data that the bank processes and thus have the right to receive a register extract. In addition, you also have the right to:
a) request correction of incorrect or incomplete information
(b) request the deletion or restriction of the processing of personal data
c) object to the treatment
d) under certain conditions, and if the bank processes personal data with the support of an agreement or consent, obtain the personal data from the bank that you have provided to the bank and the right to have it transferred directly to another personal data controller if technically possible (data portability).
A request to exercise one of these rights is examined by the bank in each individual case. In some cases, the bank cannot delete data, or restrict the processing of it, either because the data needs to be saved due to a contractual relationship or due to legislation.
Profiling and automated decision-making
Profiling refers to the automatic processing of personal data that is used to assess certain personal characteristics of a person, in particular to analyze or predict, the persons financial situation, preferences, interests and residence for example.
Profiling is used by Landshypotek Bank in risk assessment of financial situation (see below) and in transaction monitoring to counter money laundering and terrorist financing. The legal basis for profiling is the fulfillment of an agreement or legal obligation.

However, the bank has the right to use automated decision-making if it is necessary for concluding or fulfilling agreements.
Block against direct marketing
You can contact the bank to request a ban on direct marketing.
