  • what are the rights of natural person Customers (clause 8);
  • how can our Customers exercise their rights, including whom can they contact if they have questions (clause 9);
  • where are we allowed to obtain information about our Customers (clauses 3.1 and 3.2);
  • to whom and on what grounds can we send Customer Data (clause 4);
  • how do we protect our Customers’ Personal Data when we send them outside the European Economic Area (clause 5).

      3. hedging of risks and risk management, e.g. to evaluate or inspect the credit portfolio or collateral assets of LHV, or to prepare audits, stress tests or analyses that partially or completely cover the activities of LHV. Processing takes place for performance of the legal obligation set forth in Regulation 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council and on the basis of LHV’s legitimate interest for the purpose of organising risk management;

  4. Forwarding of customer data

    1. LHV has the right to forward Customer Data to the following Third Parties, and the Customer shall not consider this breach of obligation to maintain confidentiality (including bank secrets):
      1. other LHV companies, who may process the Customer Data specified in clause 3 of the Principles, e.g. for identifying the Customer, updating Customer Data, evaluating the Customer’s expertise, risk management and hedging of risks, and compliance with fiduciary regulations, including capital and liquidity requirements, and assessing creditworthiness. The data are transmitted for the purpose of fulfilling an obligation imposed by law (e.g. risk management, identification), based on legitimate interest (e.g. ensuring data quality when updating customer data) or based on the Customer’s consent;
      2. persons and organisations related to provision of service and performance of agreements concluded with the Customer (e.g. sureties, loan co-recipients, guarantors, collateral owners, insured persons and beneficiaries, successors, merchants, international card organisations, payment intermediaries and other payment service providers, insurance providers and intermediaries, e-invoice issuers, credit intermediaries and credit agents, Central Register of Securities, pledgees, correspondent banks, investment service providers, settlement systems, notaries, providers of translation, communication, IT and postal service, Federation of Estonian Student unions, Bank of Lithuania as the proxy payment registrar, cooperation partners for bank cards). Data (e.g. contract data, Personal Data, payment account data, securities data, bank card data, insurance data, insured event data) are transmitted for the purpose of performing the contract concluded with the Customer, as well as based on the legitimate interest of third parties (e.g. transmitting customer due diligence data on the basis of an inquiry submitted by a correspondent bank);
      3. persons who maintain databases (including Creditinfo Eesti AS or any other person who maintains a register of payment defaults), to whom LHV sends information on the basis of legal acts or concluded contracts for the purpose of applying the principle of responsible lending, as well as to enable Third Parties to evaluate the Customer’s payment history and creditworthiness. The transmitted data consist of data on the customer’s contractual debts in the amount of at least EUR 30 and overdue for at least 45 days. The legal basis for transmission of data is public interest in accordance with section 10 of the Personal Data Protection Act;
      4. the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication SWIFT (www.swift.com). SWIFT data processing centres are located in European Union member states and the United States of America, as a result of which bank transaction data are retained, including the personal data of the transaction initiator and recipient, regardless of the place where the transaction is conducted, both in the SWIFT-operated processing centre in an EU member state and the United States of America. When conducting a bank transaction, the bank related to the transaction, payment intermediary or SWIFT may be obliged to disclose transaction data, or Customer Personal Data related thereto, to the competent government authority of the relevant country of location in cases specified in the legal acts of the country of location;
      5. Third-party service providers to whom LHV has outsourced activities (e.g. companies engaged in sale and trade in connection with sale of LHV services and establishing identity, other LHV companies in connection with marketing of pension products, performance of functions of account manager, marketing of pension products, server and cloud service providers, mail service providers, monitoring tool service providers, ATM operators, tax fraud detection partners, e-invoicing partners, loss adjustment partners, customer support partners, archiving service providers, debt and leased asset collection partners). In such cases, partners serve as LHV’s processors and shall not have a separate right or legal basis for processing Customer Data. Customer Data is processed on behalf of and under the responsibility of LHV;
      6. LHV consultants or other service providers (e.g. auditors, attorneys). The Customer Data is transmitted to LHV for the purpose of service provision, including for representing LHV in disputes, providing legal advisory services, audit services. The legal basis for transmission of data is LHV’s legitimate interest;
      7. Assign right of claim to a new creditor. The transmitted data contain data on source contracts and debt data, and the data are transmitted on the basis of LHV’s legitimate interest for the purpose of credit risk management;
      8. To other Third Parties, based on the Customer’s voluntary consent. In such cases, the Customer is provided with information on the nature of the consent, contents of the data to be transmitted and the purpose of the transmission of data, before requesting the Customer’s consent.
    2. LHV is obliged to disclose and to convey Customer Data for the purpose of performing obligations arising from legal acts and international and mutual legal assistance (e.g. forwarding data to investigative bodies, notaries, trustees in bankruptcy, the Tax and Customs Board, Financial Intelligence Unit, Financial Supervision Authority, Estonian Motor Insurance Bureau, Estonian Funded Pension Registry).
  5. Forwarding Customer Personal Data outside the European Economic Area

    1. As a general rule at LHV, Customer Personal Data are not sent outside the European Economic Area and if this is done, then before any data is sent, the background of the Third Party is verified thoroughly, and measures are applied to ensure secure data transmission including, if possible, measures to accord equivalent protection to Personal Data as those which exist in the European Economic Area.
    2. When sending Customer Personal Data outside the European Economic Area, appropriate protection measures are applied, e.g. forwarding data to a country that in the judgment of the European Commission has a sufficient level of data protection, and forwarding of data to a Third Party in the United States of America which has been certified on the basis of Privacy Shield data protection framework and the use of standard data protection clauses developed by the Commission.
    3. In the absence of appropriate protection measures, LHV is entitled to forward Customer Personal Data outside the European Economic Area in situations where forwarding the data is, for example, necessary for performing a contract between the Customer and LHV or for implementing measures adopted on the basis of Customer’s application (e.g. use of foreign intermediaries for providing investment service, use of correspondent banks for making foreign payments).
    4. If the conducting of an international bank transaction involves a financial institution located in a country with insufficient level of data protection, e.g. a correspondent bank or other payment intermediary, including SWIFT, LHV cannot ensure that the processor processing Customer Data by financial institutions in such countries would have identical obligations to those of LHV and that the identical rights are guaranteed for the Customer at the same level as in the European Economic Area or other country with sufficient level of data protection.
    5. For detailed information on sending of Customer Data outside the European Economic Area, the Customer should contact LHV.
  6. Profile analysis and making of automated decisions regarding Customers who are natural persons

    1. Profile analysis is automatic Processing of Personal Data used for evaluating certain personal traits of the Customer – for example, to analyse or forecast the person’s economic situation, personal preferences and interests. LHV uses profile analysis for the purpose of marketing, risk assessment for compliance with the requirements of prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing, assessing the probability of insolvency, transaction monitoring to counter fraud; and automated decisions are used to assess the probability of insolvency and for making certain credit decisions (e.g. hire-purchase, consumer loans). Such data processing takes place either on the basis of legitimate interest of LHV (e.g. direct marketing), performing legal obligations, including on the basis of the Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Prevention Act and the Regulation no. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council or, if necessary, on the basis of Customer’s consent.
    2. The profile analysis and automated decisions help LHV offer services more efficiently to Customers and avoid potential mistakes. For such Processing, including when creating segments and profiles, LHV does not gather separate data on the Customer and uses data that are on file for the Customer or data which LHV must gather regarding the Customer based on the requirements set forth in legal acts or for risk management (e.g. payment defaults, information on penalties, international sanctions and other negative information known to LHV).
    3. To prevent infringement of Customer rights, e.g. discrimination in the making of credit decisions, LHV reserves the possibility, when making automated decisions, for Customers to require that the decision made be reviewed in a non-automated manner.
  7. Retention of Customers’ Personal Data

    1. LHV shall not process Customers’ Personal Data for longer than necessary for performing the objectives of the Processing, including for complying with the duty, set forth in legal acts, to retain data and for resolving disputes arising from contracts entered into with the Customer or for resolving potential disputes.
    2. In general, LHV shall retain Customers’ Personal Data until the end of the statute of limitations, unless legal acts set forth a direct obligation to retain Customers’ Personal Data for a different term.
  8. Customer’s rights in connection with Processing of their data

    1. The Customer has the right:
      1. to receive information on whether LHV will process their Personal Data and if it does process the data, the right to receive a copy of their Personal Data and to demand corrections to their Personal Data if the changes have been made to the data or the data are otherwise inaccurate.
