Mobile applications

The bank is the owner and operator of the mobile applications listed below, when using which personal data is processed:

The basic prerequisite for the full use of Tatra banka's mobile applications is the existence of an appropriate legal relationship between Tatra banka and the client, the subject of which is the provision of banking products or related services (e.g. the agreement on the allocation and principles of the use of identification, authentication and authorization means). In addition, some functionalities of the mobile applications may be subject to the conclusion of a separate contract or may be subject to specific terms and conditions.

In order for Tatra banka to be able to fulfill the relevant obligations arising from such contractual relationships or conditions, it is necessary that the processing of personal data also takes place through mobile applications.

Purpose and legal basis of personal data processing

Tatra banka always processes your personal data only for a pre-defined and legitimate purpose of processing, while there must always be an appropriate legal basis for such processing. Tatra banka never processes personal data for purposes incompatible with the originally determined purposes of processing.

As part of Tatra banka's mobile applications, personal data is processed primarily for the purpose of:

Provision of banking services, financial and related services, identification of the bank's clients and identification of the bank's contractual partners

The stated purpose includes, in relation to mobile applications, in particular:

client identification,
concluding contractual relations with the client, including pre-contractual relations,
management of contractual relations, including implementation of changes and their termination,
receiving and processing clients' suggestions and complaints,
fulfillment of Tatra banka's obligations in the area of AML,
activities related to the fulfillment of Tatra banka's tasks and obligations according to applicable legal regulations,
informing and creating awareness among clients regarding the impact of their financial activities on sustainability and the environment
other processing activities described in the Information Memorandum.

In this case, personal data are primarily processed to the extent necessary to fulfill Tatra banka's legal obligations, while the legal basis for processing here is Article 6, paragraph 1 letter c) GDPR, and thus the processing is necessary to fulfill legal obligations.

Tatra banka may process personal data in cases where the scope of personal data determined by the aforementioned legal regulations is insufficient to achieve the defined purpose of processing, also on the basis of the following legal bases:

if it is necessary for the performance of the contract concluded between the client and Tatra banka, including pre-contractual relations in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1 letter b) GDPR,
if the client has given consent to the processing of his personal data for a specific purpose/purposes in accordance with Article 6 par. 1 letter a) GDPR,
if the client has given consent to the processing of his personal data for a specific purpose/purposes in accordance with Article 9 par. 2 letters a) GDPR,
if the processing is necessary for proving, exercising or defending legal claims in accordance with Article 9 par. 2 letters f) GDPR.

Personal data may also be processed in connection with mobile applications, if it is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by Tatra banka or a third party, in accordance with Article 6 para. 1 letter f) GDPR. Such legitimate interests are:

Tatra banka is obliged to proceed with professional care in the course of its activities and in this context has a legitimate interest in preventing criminal activity or other illegal actions that may cause damage or endanger its reputation, or cause any other harm, or prevent actions that may negatively affect the bank's activities or endanger its employees or other affected persons, and for this purpose it is entitled to keep a list of persons with potential risk, while the consequence of such processing may be the termination of the business relationship or the refusal to carry out the transaction.
Tatra banka, as a major banking institution providing financial and related services to a large number of clients, perceives its social responsibility in the area of environmental protection and support of sustainability, while it has a legitimate interest in related information and creating awareness of clients in the area of sustainable behavior and support of environmental protection, especially in the form of informing clients about the impact of their financial activities on the environment. As part of the stated legitimate interest, the bank evaluates client transactions and tries to provide clients with the best possible overview of the impact of their individual transactions on the environment in the form of information on the amount of CO2 produced. Such processing aims to positively influence the behavior of its clients towards the responsible use of natural resources.

Marketing

For the purposes of informing about products, innovations and services provided by Tatra banka, as well as in connection with obtaining benefits from Tatra banka, including creating offers of such benefits when using profiling, Tatra banka processes your personal data on the legal basis of your previously voluntarily granted consent or on the basis of authorized interests of Tatra banka.

In the event that you have given consent to the processing of your personal data for the above-mentioned purpose to the Raiffeisen Group, your personal data may be processed by (i) persons who have a direct or indirect ownership interest in Tatra banka, (ii) persons over whom it has a direct or indirect equity participation of Tatra banka, (iii) persons in whom a person with an equity interest in Tatra banka has a direct or indirect equity interest, (iv) persons having a direct or indirect equity interest in a person with an equity interest in Tatra banka.

In this context, Tatra banka may contact you even without your prior consent, while informing you about such processing of your personal data and educating you about your rights, especially the right to object to the processing of your personal data. This, of course, does not apply if you have expressed your disagreement with such addressing or if you object to it.

Further information on your rights as a data subject, including the right to object to processing based on a legitimate interest, can be found below.

Tatra banka can communicate with you for the above-mentioned purpose by means of an automatic telephone call system, telephone, e-mail, SMS or other means of long-distance communication.

In order to adapt the offer of products and services directly for you, Tatra banka evaluates the information it processes about you so that it can provide you with a targeted offer and thus limit the sending of unaddressed marketing offers.

Scope of data processed in mobile applications

The processing of personal data in mobile applications still takes place within the scope specified in the Information Memorandum, but it has certain specificities within it:

Mobile applications for selected functions also receive some of the so-called "personal and sensitive information" or access to selected components of the mobile device. This data is essential for the proper functioning of mobile applications and for ensuring the protection of the client's finances and personal data against fraud, but also for increasing the client's comfort when using the Bank's applications and services.

Applications for correct, safe and comfortable use may require access to:

Camera - scanning payment QR codes, vouchers or IBAN. Scanning of the National ID card for the purposes of its update, identity verification in the process of activating the Reader application, or in selected sales processes.
Location – for the purpose of searching for the nearest branch or ATM or other point of contact (for example, for the MY Benefit service), as well as for the purpose of increasing security and preventing illegal actions.
Contacts – for the purposes of contacting the bank directly from the application, sending money to a phone number
Phone status - to increase security and prevent illegal actions
Photos and videos, Files and documents - for the purpose of importing invoices with payment information (in the form of QR codes) or other documents necessary for selected banking processes.
Notifications / Reports - for notifying users about, for example, completed transactions
Device biometrics - for logging into mobile applications (fingerprint / TouchID / FaceID). The bank does not have access to any biometric data in this case. The said data remains processed only through your mobile device, which evaluates whether the biometric data registered in the secure storage of the terminal device match those used to log in to the Bank's mobile application.*

* Biometric data processed by the Bank – used for selected functionalities of the Bank's mobile applications (eg activation of the Reader mobile application using facial biometrics). In this case, the Bank, based on your consent, compares the biometric characteristics of the scanned face against the photo on your identification document and/or the photo from the ID card register.

As part of the prevention of fraudulent and other illegal actions, the bank may collect and share and, in connection with this, process information about the end device of the application user within the scope of:

1. Device model - device manufacturer, serial number, UUID of the device, Root Status of the device
2. Device operating system
3. Network – IP and MAC address of Wifi / end device
4. Information about installed applications on the user's end device - to identify malicious applications on the user's device.

Provision of data to other entities

Tatra banka does not provide personal data of clients processed within mobile applications to other entities, except in cases where the client has given Tatra banka consent or written instruction for such provision, or if there is another legal basis for providing personal data to another entity, for example, in the case of fulfillment the legal obligation of Tatra banka as an operator.

Further details on which entities and in which cases personal data may be provided even without the client's consent are contained in the Information Memorandum.

Transfer of personal data to third countries

Personal data are not subject to cross-border transfer to third countries that do not provide an adequate level of personal data protection, with the exception of cases specified by applicable legal regulations or special situations where the client must be informed in advance about such a transfer.

Processing of personal data through cloud solutions

When processing personal data, cloud solutions are also used in certain cases, or services of a similar technical nature. The use of such solutions is, for example, necessary in many cases as part of the implementation of the most modern software tools, or their use contributes to efficiency and economy. Last but not least, such solutions also contribute to maintaining the integrity of the processed data and contribute to the security of the processing.

In such processing, cloud providers, or similar services, depending on the type of processing activity, primarily in the position of intermediaries in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR, while Tatra banka, when selecting the relevant partner as well as during the processing, consistently ensures that the processing of personal data does not increase the risk of a breach of data security or a negative impact on rights of affected persons. Tatra banka also consistently ensures that the relevant partner has demonstrably adopted appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the level of security in accordance with Article 28, paragraph 3 letters c) and Article 32 of the GDPR so that the processing meets the requirements of applicable legislation, in particular the GDPR, and to ensure the protection of the rights of data subjects.

With such processing, personal data is not transferred to third countries that do not guarantee an adequate level of protection in accordance with the GDPR.

Period of storage of personal data

Tatra banka stores your data in a form that enables your identification for no longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which the personal data is processed.

If personal data is processed within the framework of the fulfillment of Tatra banka's legal obligation, the relevant legal regulations determine in more detail the period during which Tatra banka is obliged to store your personal data and related documentation. More detailed information on legal regulations and deadlines is contained in the Information Memorandum.

Automated decision making and profiling

In the process of processing a request for the provision of a banking service, automated decisions are made based on profiling. As part of client profiling, data obtained by Tatra banka at the time of the request are taken into account, as well as data recorded by Tatra banka as part of the client's previous history in Tatra banka, as well as data obtained in accordance with valid legal regulations from external sources, and based on them, the system makes automated decisions . During profiling, the bank takes into account several data that can positively or negatively influence the decision on the application. Data on the possible riskiness of the client, his assets and liabilities in Tatra banka, payment discipline, regular use of bank products, as well as data that the bank obtains from the client at the time of negotiating the conclusion of the transaction are taken into account. Tatra banka evaluates these data at regular intervals and evaluates the client's risk profile based on them. In the case of a client with no previous history in Tatra banka, Tatra banka evaluates the data obtained from the client at the time of application, as well as data obtained in accordance with valid legal regulations from external sources.

Based on the acquired risk profile of the client, the application is assessed during automated decision-making. This decision may affect the automatic rejection of the application, the maximum approved amount of individual loans, the possibility of providing individual products, the maximum maturity of the requested product and the ratio of the amount of the loan to the value of the property (LTV). The client's risk profile itself has a direct impact on the bank's proposal of conditions, while in principle it is true that the better the client's risk profile in the bank, the better the conditions proposed by the bank can be.

The above-mentioned data, as well as specifically data on the behavior of clients during the delay, can be used to decide on the optimal recovery process and can have an impact on the choice of recovery strategy or loan restructuring. It can also be used in the implementation of activities for the purpose of preventing the occurrence of client delays. In the event that during the processing of your request for a banking product, automated decision-making will occur, including profiling in accordance with Article 22 of the GDPR, you have the right to human intervention on the part of Tatra banka, the right to your opinion, as well as the right to challenge the decision made on the basis of automated decision-making, including profiling.

negotiations on concluding a credit deal,
reassessing the amount of optional overdraft belonging to the client's current account.
