Processing of Personal Data

Personal data is any information that can be linked to a person. This includes identity data such as your name, contact information, card payment information, operations performed at a branch, agreements you have entered into, and information we obtain about you in your communication with our Consultation Centre.

The data we collect depends on the services you use. We may collect information such as your name, identification code, date of birth or preferred language of communication. We also ask for data when you contact us via Internet Banking, a mobile application, or when you visit our branches, email us, or call us. Personal data is also data acquired from 3rd parties such as public registries, for example the Population Register.

Swedbank limits the processing of customer data to a minimum and you can control what data you want to share with us. Your personal data will be stored no longer than necessary for the purpose of the processing activity.
