1.Introduction

We are ClearBank Europe N.V., a company registered in the Netherlands that offers financial services to other companies, our clients. If you are a customer or user of one of our clients or a transaction is made which you are part of, we process your personal data as data controller. We also process your personal data as data controller if you use our website or if you communicate with us. It is important that you read the privacy statement carefully so that you are aware of how and why we use your personal data and what your rights are.

If you have any queries regarding this notice or the way in which we process your personal data, please contact our data protection officer at:

Email: [email protected]

We may make changes to this notice from time to time to reflect any changes in the ways in which we process personal data or any changes in data protection laws. Any material changes and updates to this notice (being a change in processing purposes, a change to the identity of the controller, or a change as to how you can exercise your rights in relation to our processing) will be communicated to you and posted on the ClearBank Website (www.clear.bank). Please check this notice regularly so that you are aware of any changes.

2.Changes to your personal data

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes or if you become aware that any personal data that we hold is not accurate.

3.What personal data we collect- general information

3.1 The term 'personal data' is understood to mean all information that can be traced back to a person who can be identified (directly or indirectly), such as a first and last name, telephone number, postal and electronic addresses, date of birth, payment information and bank details. Data that cannot be traced back to a person (anonymous data) is not considered personal data.

3.2 We offer our services to our clients. For this reason, we most often receive your personal data via our clients. For example, when you make a transaction via one of our clients or if you are involved in such a transaction. If you work for one of our clients, we may receive your personal data from your employer for business reasons such as making contact or concluding an agreement. We can also receive the personal data from yourself, for instance when you contact us. If we receive personal data from third parties, we will inform you of this in the overview below.

3.3 We will only process your personal data when we have a legal ground to do so. Thus, we will only process your data when this is necessary (i) for the establishment and execution of an agreement with you that involves the provision of our services, (ii) to comply with our legal obligations (e.g. regulatory obligations), or (iii) to pursue our own legitimate interests (but always on the condition that your interests and fundamental rights do not outweigh our legitimate interests).

3.4 If we want to process personal data and cannot base this on one of the aforementioned legal grounds, we will always ask for your prior consent to such processing (and only if this is possible and allowed under the GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time, either in the same way you consented or by contacting us. Where we obtain your consent to send you marketing communications, you can unsubscribe by following the unsubscribe link within the communication. Upon withdrawal of your consent, we will stop processing your personal data for the purpose for which you withdrew your consent. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing operations that we carried out before the withdrawal.

3.5 We do not intend to process special categories of personal data. If a special category of personal data is processed directly or indirectly via the transaction details, this is regarded as incidental processing, and our activities are not intended to process this information. The information will be considered to have been made voluntarily public by you.

Some of this information is “sensitive personal information” under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes other than those that are exempt from the Right to Limit the Use or Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information under the CCPA.

3.6 The situations in which we may process your personal data are listed below. You can also read which personal data we process for a certain purpose, on which legal basis we do this and how long we will keep your personal data for that purpose. We have made a distinction between your role as data subject:

3.6.1 In chapter 4, we explain which data we process if you are our client or an employee, shareholder or representative of one of our clients.

3.6.2 In chapter 5, we explain which data we process if you are making a transaction via ClearBank via one of our clients (directly or indirectly) or if you are involved in such a transaction.
