Processing of Personal Data

Protecting your privacy is of the greatest importance to us at SEB when processing your personal data. It is our wish that you should always feel safe in your relationship with us and in our processing of your personal data. We therefore always make sure that we process the information you give us correctly and in compliance with applicable secrecy regulations and the Personal Data Act’s (PUL) privacy protection provisions. We furthermore always require that persons who are charged with the treatment of personal data on our behalf undertake by written agreement to observe a duty of confidentiality and SEB’s strict IT security requirements.

PUL is fully in force in Sweden since 1 October 2001.

It is an important part of this privacy protection that the person whom the information concerns is informed about what is being done.

Secrecy

The secrecy provisions relating to customer data exist in order to safeguard the customers’ confidence in the bank or the financial institution where they are customers. All data about individual customers are subject to secrecy, which means that such data must only be used or disclosed when authorized. The secrecy provisions apply between units and officers within the company as well as in relation to other companies within and outside the group.

Customer data is in certain cases disclosed to authorities pursuant to law. Processing of customer data within the group is otherwise based on the group’s requirement to be able to manage, process and monitor its risks and to provide the services required by the customers.

These secrecy provisions concerning customer data apply concurrently with what follows from the rules relating to marketing and processing of personal data.
