Data Retention and Security of Data

Data Retention
We will keep your Data, whether during our relationship with you or after its termination, for as long as necessary (i) to fulfill the purposes we collected it for, (ii) to satisfy any legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements, or (iii) to safeguard the legitimate interests of Bankmed. We may also retain your Data in case of litigation, complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect of our relationship with you for as long as necessary for the purposes of such litigation or complaint.

To determine the appropriate retention period for certain Data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Data, the purposes for which we process your Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Cyprus branch

Where your Data are collected from or are kept at the Cyprus branch of Bankmed, your Data will be retained as long as you have a business or financial relationship with the Bank (as an individual or in respect of our dealings with a legal entity you are authorized to represent or are beneficial owner, signatory or officer of). Once your business relationship with the Bank has ended, we may keep your Data for up to ten (10) years in accordance with guidance 1/2017 and 2/2017 of the Data Protection Commissioner (http://www.dataprotection.gov.cy). After the expiration of the ten (10) year retention period, the Bank will erase and/or destroy your Data via secured procedures.

For website visitor and prospective customer Data (or authorized representatives/agents or beneficial owners of a legal entity that is a website visitor or prospective customer) we shall keep your Data for six (6) months from the date of notification of the rejection of your application for banking services and/or facilities or from the date of withdrawal of such application, as per guidance 1/2017 and 2/2017 of the Data Protection Commissioner (http://www.dataprotection.gov.cy).

Where we no longer need to process your Data for purposes set out in this privacy notice, we will delete your Data from our systems.

If you have any questions about our data retention practices, please contact us electronically by using the contact details set out in Section 15 below.
Security
We implement and maintain reasonable, commercially acceptable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the information we store in order to protect it from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. However, please be advised that we cannot fully eliminate security risks associated with the storage and transmission of Data as we cannot guarantee that our security measures will prevent third-party hackers from illegally obtaining this information.

You are responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your unique password and account information at all times and for compliance with all other security measures of which we make you aware. We are not responsible for circumventions of any privacy settings or security measures contained on any of our websites.

Automated Decision Making
In principle, we do not make decisions based solely on automated processing to establish and implement the business relationship. However, we may use certain automated processing when this is requested to comply with local and international laws and regulations or internal policies and procedures in certain cases such as certain classification of accounts including classification of credit cards, loans and delinquent or doubtful or blacklisted accounts. Please note that such automated processing is made to assist us in our decisions in relation to our prospective or existing business relationship with you, but is not the only tool used for our decision making. We assess the situation of all customers on an individual basis and take decisions only following the review of each case by an authorized member of our staff.
Profiling
In some cases, we process your Data automatically with the goal of assessing certain personal aspects (profiling). For example, we use profiling when we use scoring to assess your creditworthiness or your investment knowledge or your risk tolerance profile, or when we calculate the likelihood of you meeting your contractual payment obligations or for accounts classification or for outbound marketing. Scoring is based on a mathematically and statistically recognized and proven procedure. The calculated score values assist us as one tool in our global decision-making process but are not solely relied on and are incorporated into ongoing risk management procedures.
Newsletters and Marketing emails, SMS and WhatsApp
We may process your Data in order to inform you about our products, services and offers that may be of interest to you or your business. We can only use your Data to promote our products and/or services to you if we have your consent to do so or, in certain cases, if we consider that it is in our legitimate interest to do so.

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your Data for marketing purposes, by contacting your personal banker at any time or any branch of the Bank either in person or in writing or by clicking on the option to opt out of receiving marketing information in any future marketing communication you receive from us.

Even if you inform us that you no longer wish to receive marketing material, you will still receive other important information from us from time to time, such as changes or updates to your existing products or services.
Third-Party Websites
We have established relationships with other parties, websites and platforms to offer you the benefit of products and services, and we offer you access to these other parties and their websites through the use of links on our website. In some cases you may be required to submit your Data to register or apply for products or services provided by such third parties. This privacy notice does not apply to these third party sites. The privacy policies of those other parties may differ from ours, and we have no control over the information that you submit to them. You should read the relevant privacy policy for those third party sites before responding to any offers, products or services advertised by those parties.
Effectiveness and Amendments
This privacy notice will remain in effect until such time as we notify you otherwise. We reserve the right to update or change our privacy notice at any time.
