1. Data Protection

FinecoBank S.p.A. (the “Bank”) confirms that your personal data, provided directly by you or by third parties, may be processed, even by third party companies (which may be located overseas) appointed by the Bank, for the following purposes:

(a) Compliance with law, regulations, guidance issued by competent authorities and organisations (e.g. responsible for compliance with Anti Money Laundering laws). The collection of your personal data for this purpose is compulsory, and its processing does not require your consent.

(b) Purposes strictly related to the management of client relationships (e.g. acquiring information prior to Account opening, performing contractual obligations, verification procedures and reports concerning the relationship and related risks). There is no need to provide personal data, but refusal to do so may make it impossible for the Bank to provide you with the requested Service. This processing of data does not require your consent.

The provision of personal data is not compulsory, and its processing requires your explicit consent for these purposes. Without this consent, the Bank cannot process the data. Processing is carried out manually, automatically or via any computerised means for the abovementioned purposes, ensuring the security and privacy of the data.

2. Sensitive Personal Data (“SPD”)

The Bank does not ask clients for “Sensitive Personal Data” (i.e., data revealing, for example, health conditions, political opinions, trade union or political memberships). However, the Bank may be required to process this data in order to carry out specific requests in connection with the Services (e.g. payment of membership fees to said trade unions or parties, bank transfers in favour of associations etc.). Since the Bank cannot intercept and refuse these requests, the contract may not be finalised unless you give explicit consent to this processing. The data will be processed exclusively for the purpose of carrying out your requests.

3. Possible Recipients of Personal Data

C. Your personal data may also be disclosed to legal and natural persons (by virtue of their position as entities responsible for the processing of data) specified in Part 5 of this document, and to the following persons: Bank employees, interns, contractors, financial salesmen, consultants and third party companies appointed for processing data.

4. Your Rights

Data protection law grants you specific rights, including the right to know what data (related to you) is in the Bank’s possession and how it is used. The rights granted to you include the right to demand deletion, anonymisation or blocking of your personal data if used in breach of the law, and for the update, correction or, should there be a need for it, amendment of data and objection (if for legitimate reasons) to its processing. You may, at any time, object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing communications or market research requests from the Bank.

5. Disclosure of personal data relating to shareholders of listed companies

Under relevant Italian legislation, Italian companies with shares admitted to listing on regulated markets or in multilateral trading facilities incorporated in Italy or in other Member States of the EU, with the issuer’s consent, may request (if it is provided for in their articles of association), from intermediaries at any time personal data relating to any shareholders who have not expressly refused disclosure thereof, together with the number of shares registered in accounts held by such persons., In accordance with subsequent changes to legislation, issuers of shares recorded in the centralised management system may request from intermediaries, at any time and at their own expense, through a centralised management company, personal data on shareholders, together with the number of shares registered in accounts held by such persons. The shareholders may expressly refuse disclosure of their personal data.
It may be possible for any interested party to request from persons with voting rights in listed companies authorisation to exercise these rights at the General Meeting of Shareholders. The Bank, in its capacity as the last intermediary within the meaning of the relevant legislative provisions, has an obligation to disclose, within three working days following receipt of the request made by anyone wishing to request authorisations with respect to a specific issuer of shares, name and contact details relating to the persons entitled to the voting right and who have not expressly refused disclosure of their personal data, as well as the number of shares of the issuing company registered in the relevant accounts. We therefore inform you that in implementation of the legislation referred to above, in the situations described above and where there is no express refusal from the affected client, the Bank will arrange to provide the aforementioned persons with the required information, as detailed above. The disclosures described above will not entail any additional costs or obligations for you. You may change your preference as to being a subject to the Bank's disclosure and refuse for such disclosure to be made at any time by simply sending a written notification to the Bank.

7. Data Protection in relation to SWIFT fund transfers

If you make a request which involves international financial operations (e.g. a bank transfer to an institution based in a foreign country) and certain domestic operations (e.g. a bank transfer in a foreign currency and/or for the benefit of a counterparty not resident inUK), the Bank will need to use an international financial messaging service. This service is administered by S.W.I.F.T. (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication). The Bank transmits to SWIFT (holder of the SWIFT Net Fin system) data related to the transaction which is required to carry out the transfer (e.g. your name, payee name, the banks involved in the transaction, financial details, amount of payment and, if specified, the reason for the payment). If the payee is located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) then this means that data about you relating to the payment will be sent outside of the EEA in order to effect the transaction.

8. Cookies and Call Centre Usage

The Bank may record certain telephone calls you make to or with the Bank (including to preserve a record of instructions or discussions in case these need to be confirmed in future). In these instances, you will be informed that the call is being recorded at the beginning of the call. The Bank uses systems and procedures for the proper functioning of call centres, which collect data from your calls, including telephone number (unless it has been made private), IVR navigation data (digits inputted by the caller in order to reach the Services), call duration and, by giving prior notice, the audio recording of the call itself.
