The term "Personal Data" refers to any data relating to you, which can identify you or which can be linked to you as a physical person.

If you are a client or potential client of the bank, the bank processes data such as:

  • your identification data, such as first name and surname, date and place of birth, identity card number, address, nationality, specimen of your signature, tax number/UK registry number, IP address and the type of mobile device or computer you use for our online applications

  • the images from our surveillance cameras: for security reasons our offices can be fully or partially placed under camera surveillance
  • the recordings of telephone and video calls, as the bank may record conversations by telephone or video with its clients in order to use them in the context of disputes or for audits

Sensitive data

The term 'Sensitive Data' refers in particular to data relating to health, ethnic origin, religious or political beliefs, genetic or biometric data, or criminal data.

We might collect sensitive data in the context of our KYC obligation and in the context of our specific services (e.g. estate planning).

KYC, which stands for 'Know Your Client', refers to all the procedures by which a bank has to identify a client or potential client. As part of our duty of care to our clients, we must comply with regulations on combating money laundering, preventing terrorist financing and tax fraud.

We apply a range of measures in this regard. These include the collection of personal data necessary to prevent and detect fraudulent behaviour and behaviour that violates national and international regulations. We collect this information about the client in the course of our contractual relationship with him.

In this context, we will also check certain data we have collected against public or external databases and we must also check, identify and record any data relating to sources of information that contain judicial or criminal data about the client.

We also need to check whether the client is a Politically Exposed Person (PEP).

Third party data

In certain cases, the bank holds data on persons connected to you (e.g. when you share information or documents with us that relate to connected persons).

When you provide us with such information, we ask you to inform these persons about it and to notify them that we process the Personal Data concerned for the same purposes and under the same conditions as set out in this Privacy Statement.

Data on minors

We process data on minors when you open an account for them with the bank or when you provide data on them in the context of our business relationship, including in the context of Estate Planning or Delen Family Services.

4. Why and for how long do we process personal data?

The bank and Cadelux process your personal data in order to provide you with an adequate service.

By 'processing' we mean all manual or automated operations that are performed on the data in question, such as the collection, recording, storage, consultation, adjustment, organization, use, transfer or deletion.

More specifically, the bank and Cadelux process your data on the basis of the following legal grounds:

  • in order to conclude and correctly execute our contracts

Important exam pies in this context are: managing your accounts, executing transactions, estate planning and credit monitoring.

  • to fulfil our legal obligations

When we open an account for you, we are required by law to collect personal data to confirm your identity and to determine whether we can enter into a business relationship.

Other important regulations are: obligations under anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism legislation, obligations under MiFID II regulations, obligations under SRD II regulations, obligations under financial planner regulations, financial reporting obligations (e.g. to the Central Contact Point).

  • to serve the legitimate interests of the bank and/or Cadelux or of the person concerned

This includes actions that (i) improve our services, (ii) relate to the preparation of internal reports, (iii) prevent, detect and monitor abuse and fraud, (iv) serve to compile statistics and perform tests, (v) are intended for direct marketing.

  • with your consent for commercial

How long personal data is kept depends on the type of data. The bank and Cadelux use data when it has a purpose to do so (for example, in the context of exercising a contract or on the basis of legal obligations on the part of the bank). For the exercise of your or our rights, this can be longer than the statutory retention periods. This also allows us to offer you, as a client, the best possible service, especially in the context of our KYC obligation and tax and Estate Planning services.

5. Can data be shared with third parties?

In order to fulfil some of our obligations, we transfer certain data to third parties, both internal (within the group) and external recipients (i.e. outside the group). As part of our banking activities, the bank and Cadelux may need to transfer personal data to countries located outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Governmental, legal and supervisory authorities

In order to comply with our legal obligations, we must disclose certain data to governmental, judicial and regulatory authorities:

  • public authorities and regulatory authorities and supervisors such as the CSSF
  • the tax authorities may require certain reports from us, g. in the context of FATCA/CRS
  • the judicial/ investigative services (police, prosecutor, courts and arbitration/ mediation authorities) upon legal request
  • the notaries, g. within the framework of a notarial deed or when processing inheritance files

Delen Group entities

We host your data in centralized storage systems within the parent company Delen Private Bank N.V. (Belgium) for harmonization, efficiency and security ( for example the cloud environment), apps and all internal data. We would like to point out that in order to preserve the confidentiality of this data, it is strictly separated from other information processed by our parent company.

The IT helpdesk support of our parent company Delen Private Bank N.V. is also available to all of our clients for first line support regarding the Delen app and Delen online.

Financial institutions

When you make a transfer to an account at another bank, the transaction always involves an institution other than the bank or a specialized financial company. For the settlement of securities and payment transactions, both nationally and internationally, we as the principal are required to provide the other bank with data relating to you, such as your name, your address and the account number in our books.

In the context of money transfers or transactions in financial instruments, the data required to carry out the transactions is processed by third parties involved in the transaction (e.g. correspondent banks, stock exchanges, financial messaging service providers, etc.), which may be located outside the EEA.

Other Service Providers and third parties

Within the framework of our services, the bank and Cadelux can - with your (tacit) approval - also share information with third parties indicated by you or with third parties proposed to you by the bank and Cadelux, such as notaries, external lawyers, lawyers, accountants or auditors.

Furthermore, in the event that certain tasks are outsourced, the bank and Cadelux may pass on data to carefully selected third parties who process certain data on the bank's/Cadelux's instructions. For this purpose, the bank and Cadelux use third party processors who, in the opinion of the bank or Cadelux, offer adequate guarantees for the protection of this data. These third parties undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the data.

The following are non-exhaustive examples of activities in which the bank and Cadelux may share certain data with external service providers:

  • when managing correspondence with our clients (e.g. when communicating by post)
  • when organizing direct marketing campaigns
  • when organizing events
