We process personal and other information of individuals or of entities (“Subject Entity) with whom we have, wish to have, or previously had, a direct or indirect relationship. We also provide personal and other information to third parties, to allow us to provide products or services which you seek. This may include:

• Clients and their representatives;
• Persons who show an interest in our products and services; or
• Persons who are associated with a business or organization with which we have, wish to have, or previously had, a relationship. Please note: if your business or organization provides us with personal information of employees, you are under the obligation to inform your employees thereof. You may provide your employees with this privacy policy so that they may see how Rabobank treats their personal information.

6. How does Rabobank treat my personal data?

Your personal data are stored carefully and no longer than necessary for the purpose for which they were processed. 

Within Rabobank, your personal data can be used only by employees who require access to such data for the performance of their duties. Our employees are subject to a confidentiality obligation. If we wish to use data for a purpose other than that for which they were originally processed, then we may only do so if the two purposes are closely related. Your personal data may also be disclosed between various Rabobank divisions and subsidiaries, but only if this is reconcilable with the purpose for which the personal data were collected and if this is compliant with other requirements following from applicable privacy laws and regulations. We sometimes engage third parties who can edit personal data, e.g., a printer who carries out a client mailing for us and prints names and addresses details on envelopes. We can engage third parties only if this fits the purpose for which we have processed your personal data, e.g., for promotional and marketing purposes. In addition, such a third party may only obtain our order if he has demonstrably taken appropriate security measures and warrants confidentiality. Your personal data may also be shared with third parties that we engage in our operations for the provision of our services (for example, data hosting, data processing, processing of payment transactions, and similar services). Some of these third parties may be located outside of the United States. Your personal data may, both during and after processing, be subject to investigation by competent national authorities in the countries where such data are located for purposes of the processing. Your personal data will not be sold or hired out.

We have collected information such as that described above in the last twelve months. We may disclose personal information our affiliates insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes, and on the legal bases, set out in this notice to include the processing and delivery of a product or service. We may also disclose your personal information to third parties that are not related by common ownership or control, such as service providers, credit bureaus and other nonaffiliated third parties when required and permitted by law. We do not collect more personal information than is necessary for the purposes set forth below. As such, there is no optional data collected. We will not collect, use, retain, and/or share your personal information for any purpose that is unrelated or incompatible with the purpose(s) for which the personal information was originally collected or processed. We will request explicit consent if we intend to collect, use, retain, and/or share your personal information for any purpose that is unrelated or incompatible with the purpose(s) for which the personal information was originally collected or processed.

It will be the responsibility of the Individuals to inform Rabobank regarding any changes in his or her Personal Data in order to keep the Individual’s Personal Data accurate, complete  and up-to-date. Individuals should inform Rabobank regarding any changes.

7. For what purposes does Rabobank process personal data of individuals?

We process personal data of individuals for the following purposes:

• To be able to enter into a relationship
  If you as 1) an individual, 2) an individual associated with a Subject Entity that wishes to become a Rabobank client, or 3) an individual are associated with an entity that wishes to purchase a new product or a new service, we will require personal data, such as within the course of receiving a business credit application. For example, we will have to carry out an investigation to review whether we can accept the Subject Entity as a client, or whether we can provide an individual or an individual associated with a Subject Entity with a loan. We may also require personal data of an individual or an individual associated with a Subject Entity in order to provide access to an account. To that end, we can collect data from you (as an individual) such as your name and contact information, date of birth, citizenship, government-issued identification, financial information (such as your net worth and income), and banking information. We may also collect credit, financial, and identity information from credit reporting agencies, references, and persons with whom you have a financial relationship. We may also collect personal data from government registries (inside and outside of the United States) as necessary to satisfy our legal and regulatory obligations under anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, or similar laws. 

As applicable, automated tools may be used to make decisions about individuals but decisions with a negative outcome for the individual will not be based solely on the results provided by the automated tool.  Exceptions generally include the following:

• The use of automated tools is necessary for the performance of a task carried out to comply with a legal obligation or sectorial recommendation to which the Rabobank is subject, including the prevention of money laundering, financing of terrorism and other crimes, customer due diligence and the duty of care towards Customers (e.g. credit monitoring);
• The decision is made by the Rabobank for purposes of (a) entering into or performing a contract or (b) managing the contract, with the individual; or
• The individual has given their explicit consent.

• To maintain the relationship with you and to execute orders
  If you are an individual associated with a Subject Entity, we want to provide you with quality service. For that purpose, we process personal data. We will use your name and address details, for example, to maintain contacts with you. Furthermore, we need your name to be able to execute payment orders. We may also disclose your name to others, e.g. in the context of payment transactions.
• To protect your individual personal interests as well as our own
  To protect your personal interests as well as our own and the security and integrity of the financial sector, we may process personal data. For instance, to combat or investigate fraud. For this purpose, we may consult, and enter personal data in, the incident registers and alert systems of the financial sector. Furthermore, we may also for this purpose consult public sources such as public registers, newspapers, and the Internet.
• For purposes of development and improvement of our products and services
  In order to be able to continue to provide you, an individual or an individual associated with a Subject Entity, with quality service, we are constantly developing and improving our products and services. In some cases, this may involve the processing of personal data, for example, if you have a question about a product or compiling statistics for analysis of visits and use of our websites.
• For promotional and marketing purposes
  We may process your personal data for promotional or marketing purposes. For example, to inform you about a new product that may be of interest to you, or to better anticipate your wishes. If you do not wish to be contacted for commercial purposes, please notify the Rabobank location that you do business with.
• Conclusion and execution of agreements with suppliers and corporate clients
  If you as an individual have business contacts with Rabobank, we may process your personal data. For example to be able to ascertain that you are authorized to represent your company. Or to grant you access to our offices.
• To perform statutory obligations
  We are required by certain national and international laws and regulations to collect data about you. For example, we are sometimes required to initiate a (further) investigation if you have certain assets or in the event of an unusual transaction in your account. Furthermore, we might be required to ascertain who the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) is of a company with which we have a relationship. Laws and regulations may also require us to disclose data about you to a government or regulatory body inside or outside of the United States. These activities are performed as necessary in order to comply with legal requirements, as the lawful basis of a contract, or to protect your personal interests or that of our organization (such as combating or investigating fraud). In addition, based on our duty of care, we are required to process personal data whenever there is cause to do so.
• For purposes of our operations
  As a financial service provider, it is important to us, and necessary, to have a good overview of our client relations. That includes knowing whether you collaborate with other parties that may pose a risk. To obtain such an overview, and to take measures, we process personal data, e.g., in order to assess our risk when providing a loan and to decide whether we wish to take out insurance in that respect.
• For archiving purposes
  We do not collect more personal data than is necessary for the purposes set forth above. If we do not store the data for those purposes, we may nonetheless do so for archiving purposes. That means that they will only be used for legal proceedings, or for historic, statistical, or scientific purposes.

We require that you do not supply any other person's personal information to us, unless we prompt you to do so.

8. Does Rabobank also process sensitive data?

Sensitive personal data are special types of personal data, as demonstrated here:

• Social Security number, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number;
• Account log-in, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security or access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account – We do not collect combinations of your external account and external access information that would allow us access to any of your external accounts beyond performing transactions you request;

Rabobank participates in incident registers and alert systems for the financial sector and may process data concerning criminal records for that purpose. The purpose of an incident register or alert system is to protect the interests of financial institutions and their clients, e.g., by detecting fraud. Furthermore, we will process sensitive data only if so required by law, to protect your vital interests (but only where it is impossible to obtain consent first), to the extent necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, with your consent, or at your request. If you request us to record sensitive data about you, or if you disclose such data yourself, we will only process them if that is necessary for our services.
