How do we obtain your personal data?

BanSabadell Vida S.A. de Seguros y Reaseguros markets its products through its insurance intermediaries: BanSabadell Mediación, S.L., Banking/Insurance Operator affiliated with Banco Sabadell and Sabadell Consumer Finance, S.A.U., exclusive banking/insurance operator.

At the time of taking out insurance policies, our intermediaries collect personal data directly from data subjects in the capacity of data controllers, through the Banco de Sabadell, S.A. distribution network. 

What categories of personal data do we process?

In order to issue an insurance policy and keep it in force, we need to process your identification data, contact details, bank account details and all the information relating to the insured risk that is needed to correctly assess risk and determine pricing, which may depend on a wide range of personal, family, financial and property circumstances, in accordance with the risk in question.

In the case of life insurance, risk assessment requires the processing of data relating to the health of the insured as collected by means of a health questionnaire. Completion of the questionnaire is legally required of the insured, pursuant to article 10 of the Insurance Contract Act 50/1980, of 8 October. The processing of such specially protected data is covered by article 9 of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU), by express indication of article 9 of the Personal Data Protection and Guarantee of Digital Rights Act 3/2018, as it is necessary for the execution of an insurance contract to which the data subject is a party.

For the personnel selection processes, we need to process your identification and contact data, as well as your academic and professional information, among others, according to the needs of the candidacy to which you apply.

What do we process your personal data for?

The personal data that you provide upon taking out your insurance policy and that is stored during the policy’s term will be processed for the following purposes:

1. To prepare, issue and manage your insurance contract, including assessing and pricing the insured risk at the time of execution and at each annual renewal, loss appraisal, benefit payments and the sending of necessary communications relating to your contract;

2. To register, process and respond to complaints and claims that you send us, if and when you have any;

3. To carry out the verification needed to detect and prevent money laundering and terrorist financing;

4. To carry out the verification needed to detect and prevent all types of insurance sector fraud; this may occasionally involve obtaining additional expert opinions, conducting private investigations or checking public registers, credit information systems or similar resources;

5. To make direct non-commercial communications by electronic means relating to your assessment of the company. Such communication may include satisfaction surveys to help us improve our services.

6. To carry out, directly or through our insurance intermediaries, commercial and/or advertising actions or communications, via electronic or any other means, in relation to products similar to those taken out. These actions may be for the purpose of informing you of services included in your policy, news, current promotions or other events;

7. To carry out, directly or through our insurance intermediaries, commercial and/or advertising actions or communications via electronic or any other means in relation to products of other insurance companies or pension plan managers within the Banco de Sabadell Group. These actions may be aimed at offering you insurance products or pension plans that are not offered directly by us, but by another of the Group’s companies, as well as informing you of news, current promotions or other events;

8. To include you as a participant in competitions, prize draws or other specific activities for promotional purposes, when you have so requested and always in compliance with the regulations or terms and conditions made public in this regard.

9. To include you in the personnel selection process of the candidacy or candidacies in which you have decided to apply, as well as to carry out the management and resolution of it.

Will we process your personal data for profiling purposes?

Yes. Like all insurers, we need to create statistical-actuarial profiles in order to assess and price the insured risk when the policy is taken out and at each annual renewal, i.e. to determine your insurance premium and update it each year. These profiles are prepared using (i) information that you provide directly to us, (ii) the mortality and survival tables prepared by the Directorate-General for Insurance and Pension Funds, (iv) the risk profile indicators assigned by Banco de Sabadell, S.A. and (v) the risk profile indicators assigned by the insurance companies of other branches and/or pension plan managers in which Banco de Sabadell, S.A.* has a controlling interest and with which it has taken out insurance product/s or pension plan/s, if applicable. We only use data that are useful, relevant and necessary with regards to the aforementioned statistical/actuarial purposes. Furthermore, such data will always be subject to prior pseudonymisation and encryption techniques in order to guarantee data subjects’ privacy.

We also create marketing profiles in order to predict what other products, terms or benefits you may be interested in and/or that we may offer you, and to determine the best time to offer them to you, e.g. when you reach a certain age or when we detect any signs of displeasure or dissatisfaction with our service that we may be able to correct or make up for. These profiles are prepared using (i) information that you provide directly to us, (ii) the number of products you have taken out with us and their performance and (iii) the risk profile indicators assigned by the insurance companies of other branches and/or pension plan managers in which Banco de Sabadell, S.A.* has a controlling interest and with which it has taken out an insurance product or pension plan. We only use data that are useful, relevant and necessary with regards to the aforementioned commercial purposes. Furthermore, such data will always be subject to prior pseudonymisation techniques in order to guarantee data subjects’ privacy.

How long will we store your personal data?

When you request an insurance policy simulation or quote, we will store your personal data for a maximum period of three (3) months to facilitate and speed up the process of formalising the insurance when you so decide, without prejudice to the price being updated at the time the product is actually taken out. In the case of insurance combined with a bank loan, we will extend this period until the bank grants you the loan. If you ultimately decide not to take out the insurance, we will delete your personal data within ten (10) days.

When you take out insurance or modify the contractual conditions by any means, we will store your personal data for the duration of your contractual relationship with us, and for a period of ten (10) years following termination of the same.

When you initiate or receive communication via telephone or other means (instant messaging), this communication will generally be recorded for the purpose of monitoring the quality of service and the recordings will be retained for a period of two (2) years.

When you respond to our evaluation surveys about your level of satisfaction with our services, we will store information about your responses for seven (7) years.

When you submit an application and we receive your CV, we will keep your data for the time strictly necessary for its management. Only if you are selected in the process, this data will be kept for a maximum period of two (2) years.

Throughout the storage period, we will implement appropriate security measures to prevent any risk of accidental destruction, loss, accidental modification or unauthorised access to your personal data. In compliance with article 32 of the Personal Data Protection Act 3/2018, near the end of the pre-determined storage period your personal data will be blocked and can only be used to answer to any potential liability in relation to the processing thereof.

Our DATA CONTROLLERS (agents, intermediaries and service providers) will also have access to your personal data. In the implementation of our corporate governance policies, we only work with data controllers with a proven record of compliance with prevailing data protection laws.
