For what purposes do we process personal data and on what legal basis?
Below, we inform you about the different processing of your personal data for which ABANCA Seguros Generales is responsible, specifying the respective legal bases that legitimize them and the purposes of each:
1. Processing necessary for the execution of your contractual or pre-contractual relationships with ABANCA Seguros Generales.
1.1 Formalization, maintenance, and fulfillment of relationships with ABANCA Seguros Generales
This purpose includes all activities aimed at processing your application, its formalization, insurance and claims management, handling pre-contractual and contractual claims and incidents, quality management, and payment and collection management.
In case of non-payment, ABANCA Seguros Generales may communicate your data to debt recovery service providers, acting on behalf of ABANCA Seguros Generales, to carry out collection actions and, likewise, communicate your data and debt information to credit information systems (e.g., ASNEF or BADEXCUG).
1.2 Calculation of the premium and analysis and assessment of the insured risk in the formalization, maintenance, fulfillment, and renewal of relationships with ABANCA Seguros Generales
When you request an insurance product from us, as well as in the case of contracting and even during its validity and renewal, we will carry out an analysis and assessment using actuarial and statistical techniques, thus obtaining a premium rate consistent with the characteristics of the insured and beneficiaries, the environment, and the historical data of ABANCA Generales de Seguros.
In the development of this purpose, in addition to analyzing the information requested during contracting or—upon renewal—derived from the maintenance of the contractual relationship, ABANCA Seguros Generales may consult: - Data relating to your non-fulfillment of monetary, financial, or credit obligations that may appear in credit information systems (e.g., ASNEF or BADEXCUG). - Information available in common information systems of the insurance sector, in accordance with their access or consultation rules, or other information available in third-party files, provided it is necessary for the estimation of risk level and premium, as provided by insurance regulations, or for compliance with contracting requirements. For example, ABANCA Generales de Seguros may check the vehicle’s MOT status or information about its characteristics.
2. Processing carried out to comply with legal obligations.
The insurance sector, of which ABANCA Seguros Generales is a part, is highly regulated, which means we must process your data to comply with the legal obligations applicable in each case, such as responding to possible information requests from administrations, public bodies, and courts or tribunals; and consulting lists of persons and entities subject to international sanctions and financial countermeasures (e.g.: Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List in the U.S. Department of the Treasury “SDN List” -http://sdnsearch.ofac.treas.gov-), either directly or through consultation tools and databases provided by third parties.
Finally, we may process your health data for damage assessment and claims settlement.
3. Processing carried out for the legitimate interest of ABANCA Seguros Generales.
We process your personal data based on the satisfaction of the legitimate interests pursued by ABANCA Seguros Generales, and to the extent that your own interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those legitimate interests, for the following purposes: i) Detect and prevent fraud in contracting and in the provision or execution of our products and services (e.g., during claims management) that could result in harm to you, third parties, and/or ABANCA Seguros Generales; ii) create, using only data from our internal sources, commercial profiles (which allows us to analyze and predict your personal preferences, economic situation, interests, geographic location, and behavior) to offer you advertising information tailored to these profiles, about our products and services similar to those you have contracted; iv) offer you advertising information about products and services similar to those contracted; v) send surveys to assess your satisfaction level and the quality of the product or service you have contracted or our service; vi) data analysis to improve internal processes and/or our products and services.
At any time, you may exercise your right to object to the sending of commercial communications, surveys, and/or the creation of the profile mentioned in section iii), by contacting the Customer Service at dpo.abancagenerales@abancaseguros.com. Likewise, at this address you may request additional information about the analysis carried out to evaluate the development of all purposes based on legitimate interest.
