In addition to the information provided in the table above of all the data processing activities we carry out, you may find a more detailed explanation of some the processing activities we consider particularly relevant, including information about external data sources, the logic involved in automated data processing and the potential consequences of such processing, as follows:

5. Fraud prevention

We have the obligation and aim to avoid fraud and protect you and the rest of our customers against possible fraudulent behaviour.

To this end, when you request the Service, we will make automated decisions that significantly affect you. This means that profiling is performed based on automated processing of your data before the decision is made. The profiling is carried out to evaluate the information provided during your application in order to make the decision of whether or not to grant credit, or to assess whether your use of our services involves a risk of fraud. We profile your user behaviour using specialised fraud-prevention tools and compare this data on behaviours and conditions to our internally established risk criteria.

The consequence of these automated decisions for you is that based on the analysis carried out, we will decide if we are able to preliminarily approve your application to use the Service. We use the data you provide, as well as data from external sources and Openbank's own internal information, which includes information we have about you, including your previous use of our services and data related to the device you use to request the Service.

We decide whether you pose a risk of fraud if our processing shows that your behaviour indicates possible fraudulent conduct, that your behaviour is not consistent with your previous use of our services, or that you have attempted to conceal your true identity. Automated decisions whereby we assess whether you constitute a fraud risk are based on information you have provided yourself, data from fraud prevention tools and service providers that we use and collaborate with, and Openbank's own internal information.

The personal data categories used in each decision are described in section 4. See section 9 for more information about whom we share information with as regards profiling during automated decisions. 

If you are not approved under the automated decisions described in this section, you will not have access to the Service. We have several control mechanisms in place to ensure that our automated decisions are appropriate. These mechanisms include ongoing testing and review of our decision models and thorough documentation of rejected applications and the reasoning behind those decisions. If you have any concern about the outcome, you can contact us, and one of our analysts will determine whether the procedure was performed appropriately. You can also object in accordance with the following instructions:

Under data protection legislation, you have the right to object to any automated decision with legal consequences or decisions that can otherwise significantly affect you. In this case, you can do so by sending an email to privacy.nl@zinia.com . Upon receipt of your request, we will proceed to review the decision, taking into account any additional information and circumstances that you may provide.

6. Transfer of data from the shop to Openbank and invoice purchase approval for the execution of the contract.

When you request the Service, we need to process personal data provided directly from you to the shop where you are making your purchase, or collected by Openbank from external sources such as third parties and publicly available sources. The personal data categories used in each decision are described in section 4.

We process your data to analyse the sale of the invoice and manage the derived contractual obligations, to maintain the contractual relationship with you and send you marketing communications related to the product. Additionally, the processing helps us assess your solvency and predict if you can afford the payment of the goods purchased, in order to prevent a possible default on the debt.

The logic behind the analysis we carry out to approve the sale of the invoice is based on the analysis of the information that you have provided, such as your purchase history and payments together with the external sources listed in section 4 that provide us with information related to your identity and financial situation. The aforementioned data and the analytical properties of our risk models enable us to automatically infer if you would be able to afford the payment of the 'buy now, pay later' product, which consequently allows us to approve or deny your request.

If we deny your request, you have the right to request an explanation about the decision made, and exercise your right to not be subject to exclusively automated decisions by requesting action by one of our analysts, express your point of view and contest the decisions made on the basis of this profiling.

7. Commercial and marketing communications 

As part of the aforementioned data processing activities, we will process your personal data for marketing purposes. The scope and purposes of such data processing as well as the legal basis and the categories of personal data processed are described below in more detail: 

  • Sending commercial communications in relation to our own products and services and to those related to the purpose of the contract under legitimate interest (direct marketing).

Once you engage our Services, your personal data will be used to send you commercial communications in relation to our own products and services, and to those related to those you have already engaged (email, push, pop-up or any other electronic or telematic means available at any time). These communications will be personalised with information that will be extracted from our internal sources and on the basis on which we will create profiles generated from your behaviour patterns.

We create these profiles with the aim of conducting an analysis related to your economic and personal characteristics, but not related to payments, based solely on the consultation of information from internal sources, in order to determine which of our own products and services are the best fit for your situation based on two variables: your willingness to take out the product and the probability of the transaction being approved. The creation of the profile will be the result of an automated decision, in which the following logic will be applied:

We will process the information you provide in order to determine your payment behaviour, the customer segment(s) to which you belong - according to our internal classification criteria- and the periodic fulfillment of your contractual obligations. This activity may lead us to take the decision not to offer you certain products or services, according to the risk that is estimated by the bank and the scoring obtained from the analysis of your information. For example, if you already have an outstanding debt with us, we might not offer you other products which may increase your insolvency.

In addition, we will process your personal data to analyse your behaviour regarding the impact and success of our commercial campaigns.

In order to carry out these data processing activities, Openbank will process the following categories of personal data: identification data: name, surname, email address or mobile phone number, data related to arrears, solvency and debt history, pending payment orders, information about any previous negative payment history you have had with us or previous credit approvals and data on the goods and services purchased: data related to the product you purchase.

The legal basis supporting these data processing activities will be the legitimate interest of Openbank in marketing and offering our products and services through the sending of general communications or those adapted to your personal characteristics.

The prevailing interest of Openbank in carrying out this data processing is to maintain our relationship with you by suggesting new products and improving the conditions of the products and/or services you already have taken out or engaged, as well as offering you information on products that you may find of interest.

Openbank considers that the abovementioned personal processing activities are not an impediment to the normal exercise of your rights and freedoms, as they are considered as standard practices within the business sector. Consequently, we understand that receipt of this type of communications will fall within your reasonable expectations.
