    For the purpose of pre-analyzing a request / analyzing a credit application addressed to BT by the credit applicant, according to the need to conduct responsible lending activity, in addition to processing your personal data in the Credit Bureau S.A. system (as applicable, see footnote no. 2) - about which you were informed at point I. of this information - BT also processes these data in its own records and in other external records, based on the legal obligations it must comply with, the conclusion of the credit agreement, and on the basis of its legitimate interest.

    3. The obligation to provide data and the consequences of non-compliance with it

    Providing personal data is necessary for the purpose mentioned in point II. (2). Refusal to provide the personal data necessary to achieve this purpose would prevent the bank from fulfilling its legal obligations in connection with granting the credit, so the credit applicant's request, the legal entity, cannot be analyzed.

    4. Categories of personal data processed in BT records and, where appropriate, in other external records

    The categories of personal data from point I. (4), as applicable (see footnote no. 2) and II.

    For the purpose of objectively verifying the fulfillment of eligibility conditions for the preliminary review of a request / analyzing some of the credit applications submitted by legal entities of certain types (see footnote 3 of part I of the information note), BT processes the data of some of the data subjects based on its legitimate interest [4] in own automatic system ("BT scoring application").

These data are automatically analyzed within the scoring application, which issues a score based on a profile of the debtor/potential debtor, thus determining the credit risk and the likelihood of timely repayment of installments in the future.


    Based on this issued score, to which information resulting from checks carried out in the Bank's own records is added, -such as those regarding the level of monthly income- and in public databases such as websites - the courts' portal, ONRC, etc. - BT determines whether the eligibility conditions provided in its internal regulations are met and will make the decision to approve or reject the credit applicant's request, a decision that is based on the analysis carried out by the bank employees (human intervention).

    By exception, we will make the credit application approval/rejection decision through exclusively automated means only in specific cases, namely when the application is submitted online and it is essential to provide the credit applicant with a response within a very short time frame; in this case, making the decision through exclusively automated means is necessary to be able to quickly analyze the application and, if applicable, to conclude the credit agreement.

    D. Information regarding the processing of personal data for the purpose of issuing and managing the Qualified Digital Certificate issued to the User by Alfatrust Certification S.A. for signing documentation in relation to BT

    If you want to obtain a BT PJ online loan, it will be necessary to sign the loan documentation with a qualified electronic signature. Issuing and using the digital certificate for signing involves no costs for you, but it is necessary for BT and Alfatrust to jointly process, as associated operators, personal data concerning you for the issuance of this electronic signature.

    You can find detailed information below about the processing of your data for this purpose.

    1. Operators of personal data

    Under art. 13-14 of EU Regulation 679/2016 - General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), Alfatrust Certification S.A. ("Alfatrust") and Banca Transilvania S.A. ("BT") inform you regarding the processing of your personal data, as a User ("data subject"), which they carry out as joint controllers for the purpose mentioned in point b of this notice.

    2. Purpose and legal basis of the processing of personal data

    The purpose for which the associated operators process the User's data is the issuance and management of the Qualified Digital Certificate ("the Certificate").

    BT is the operator that identifies the User, respectively collects from them the personal data necessary for issuing the Qualified Digital Certificate, and transmits them to Alfatrust for this operator to issue the certificate.

    The data that BT collects from Users are those processed by BT in its own records, in the context of the business relationship that is already established between the User and BT at the time of transmitting the data to Alfatrust.

    During the validity period of the certificate, the personal data are processed by the associated operators, as appropriate, as well as in situations where Users request the suspension or revocation of the certificate in the manners detailed in the Terms and Conditions of service provision.

    The legal grounds for processing personal data for the defined purpose are the legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR), conclusion/performance of the contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), and the legitimate interest of the associated operators (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

    Regarding the legal obligation, both BT - as a credit institution with which the User has established a business relationship, and Alfatrust - as an accredited certification service provider from whom the User wishes to obtain a certificate, are subject to legal provisions applicable in the field of preventing money laundering and financing terrorism according to which they must collect from clients a series of personal data. These data are also necessary for the conclusion/execution of the contract under which the User is allowed to use the certificate for signing documentation related to BT.

    To support Users who wish to submit a request for suspension or withdrawal of the certificate, the associated operators justify a legitimate interest in offering them (who are also BT clients) the possibility to send these requests not only directly to Alfatrust, but also through BT. The resolution of these requests involves the exchange of Users' personal data between the two associated operators.

    Contact details - phone number and home address will be processed by any of the associated operators, whenever it is necessary to contact the end user for the proper conduct of the contractual relationship related to the qualified digital certificate.

    3. Categories of personal data and of persons whose personal data are processed

    Personal data processed for the purpose of fulfilling the mentioned objective are those provided by law as mandatory to be collected by a credit institution, respectively by a certification services provider for the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing, namely: name, first name, personal numerical code (CNP), home/residence address, identity document validity date, phone number, copy of the identity document. All these data, as provided by the User to BT, will be transmitted to Alfatrust for the issuance and management of the Qualified Digital Certificate.

    Processing this personal data is necessary for generating the Qualified Digital Certificate. The User's refusal to have this data processed leads to the impossibility of issuing the Qualified Digital Certificate.

    The persons targeted by this processing are only the Users, as they are defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use of Alfatrust.

    4. Recipients of personal data

    Except for the associated operators between whom there will be an exchange of personal data processed for the fulfillment of the processing purpose, the data are disclosed, as the case may be, to IT service providers, auditors, authorities and institutions entitled to know them.

    5. The period of processing personal data

    Information regarding a Qualified Digital Certificate (including personal data) is processed by Alfatrust for a period of 10 years from the date of its expiry, in accordance with the legally established terms.

    At BT level, the remote electronic signature, applied based on the Qualified Digital Certificate issued by Alfatrust on the documentation signed in relation to BT, is kept for the entire period during which a business relationship runs between the User and BT, to which the terms established in the applicable legislation are added.

    6. Rights of the data subjects concerning the processing of their personal data
