Data protection

Principles and sustainability
Your trust in a long-term business relationship is important to us. Commerzbank AG takes the protection of your personal data very seriously and adheres to the rules of data protection, in particular the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and our Group Data Protection Policy. The purpose of this policy is to ensure a consistently high level of data protection within the Group and to respect the rights and freedoms of the data subjects in the long term.

Personal data will only be processed if the data subject has consented, if this is required for the fulfillment of a contract or if the GDPR or another law permits or prescribes the processing.

The economical, proportionate, necessary and legally permissible handling of personal data and its purposeful processing as well as the guarantee of transparency and information to the data subject are rights under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, to which Commerzbank expressly undertakes. In addition, Commerzbank only transmits personal data to third parties if this is lawful and it is not apparent that there is a risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject. Commerzbank deletes personal data as soon as they are no longer required for business purposes and there are no other legitimate reasons to keep them, such as statutory retention periods. Where required by law, we can demonstrate that we comply with the principles governing the processing of personal data. Commerzbank has implemented technical and organizational measures to guarantee these goals in the long term.

Commerzbank immediately investigates inquiries, complaints, requests for information and violations of the protection of personal data and guarantees immediate information and close communication with the data subject, especially if there are possible risks to their rights and freedoms. In addition, the data subject can contact Commerzbank's data protection officer at any time: datenschutzbeauftragter@commerzbank.com.

With regular data protection impact assessments when processing and transmitting personal data, the risks are evaluated and countermeasures are taken to avert negative consequences for the data subjects. Commerzbank employees are regularly trained in data protection and supported in achieving data protection goals.

Personal data will only be disclosed to authorities if Commerzbank is legally obliged to do so. Insofar as it is obliged to do so, it reports on this and other data protection-related topics via its website.

Data processing on the websites
Personal data is generally collected to the extent that is technically necessary. Under no circumstances is the data forwarded to third parties without a legal basis. The following statements give you an overview of how the Commerzbank AG guarantees this protection and also an overview of the type of data that is collected, processed or used on the websites and to which purpose.

Recording
When you access and use our website, we process certain usage data that your internet browser automatically transmits to our servers. This information is stored in a log file. These include

  • an Internet protocol address (IP address) of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • the website from which access is made (referrer URL)
  • browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your Internet provider
  • as well as the content that you provide to us by using the functionalities offered on our website.

This information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) for proof in the event of complaints, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, (4) to ensure the efficient detection and tracing of incidents of abuse and (5) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack and (6) to optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, if necessary. This information is evaluated both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process.

The legal basis for the data processing mentioned is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. For the reasons mentioned above, processing is absolutely necessary for the provision of the website and thus serves to protect the legitimate interests of Commerzbank.

As soon as the data mentioned is no longer required to achieve the aforementioned processing purposes, it will be deleted or anonymized.

Cookies
Our websites occasionally use cookies when you visit them. Cookies are text files which are filed on your computer and saved by your browser. The purpose of these is to make our service and offer user-friendly, effective and safe. Passwords are not deposited in cookies. Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. They are automatically reset as soon as you log out. After you have ended the session by closing your browser, the cookie is saved for a certain amount of time and is subsequently overwritten or deleted by the client (e.g. your PC, your Tablet, Smartphone). Our cookies do not cause damage to your computer and contain no viruses.

We use cookies to collect technical data to ensure uninterrupted operation. This helps to identify and resolve functional problems, and continuously improve performance.

We also set cookies after your explicit consent to measure success and optimize our advertising measures.

Processing of personal data
To send you publications or newsletters presented on the website that you ordered, we request your name, your address and your email address by an order form. This data is stored and used solely for the purpose of sending you the desired information based on Art. 6 (1 b) GDPR. It is not forwarded or passed on to third parties. By entering your data (name, address, email address) in the form, you give us your consent to store and to use the data to send you the information. The personal data you enter to receive the newsletter is stored until you cancel the subscription.

Right of access by the data subject
You have the right to receive information on the data stored about your person, the categories of recipients thereof and the purpose of the processing. Furthermore, we are available to answer your questions about the collection, processing and use of your personal data.

Tag Management
Based on your voluntary consent, which can be revoked at any time, Commerzbank uses Google Tag Manager to manage various technologies on the Commerzbank website that require consent, based on your consent settings. The provider of the Google Tag Manager component is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service enables website tags to be managed based on the consent settings previously made. The Google Tag Manager only implements website tags. Website tags are small code elements on the website that are used, among other things, to measure traffic and visitor behavior, to record the impact of online advertising and social channels, to use remarketing and targeting, or to test and monitor the website optimize. The Google Tag Manager itself does not use Cookies. The Google Tag Manager only triggers website tags that were previously activated by the website visitor using the slider in the consent settings. These website tags can be used to process the data from the individual activated sliders. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access the data that are allowed to be processed by the activated slider and does not save any personal data itself when the website tags are triggered. Only when the Google Tag Manager script is downloaded from Commerzbank, a standard https request protocol will be processed which means personal data is transmitted to Commerzbank and stored for 14 days. Among other things, this includes the IP address. This processing is necessary to ensure the operation of the service. This data will only be used for the purpose of providing the Google Tag Manager.

Google Analytics

Based on your voluntary consent, which may be revoked at any time, Commerzbank is entitled to use "Google Analytics" on its website, including the advertising functions of Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Analytics uses Cookies, i.e. small text data that are stored on your computer and that enable website traffic to be analyzed.

The following is an overview of the purposes for which Google Analytics is used collected data and the related functionalities:

  • Reach measurement of the Commerzbank website
  • Creation of conditions for the optimization of marketing campaigns by linking Google Analytics data with your Google Account profile using the Google Analytics Cookie ID, such as the determination of progress in the product application process, the completion of the application route and the actual product completion.
  • Creation of conditions for the optimization of marketing campaigns by linking Google Analytics data with your Commerzbank customer profile using the pseudonym ID
  • Optimization of the Commerzbank website

The Google Analytics data is processed on the basis of the consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

In advance, Commerzbank would like to point out that Google Analytics has been extended to include the code “anonymizeIp“ which ensures an anonymous collection of IP addresses (IP masking). Google Analytics is therefore only used in connection with an activated anonymous IP. This means: The IP address of a user is shortened by Google for users within the member states of the European Union and other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases (e.g. in the event of a technical defect in the European Union) is the IP address shortened outside the European Economic Area. In such cases, the data could be processed in a country without an adequate level of data protection, such as USA. The data is then split up and stored in Google data centers. More detailed information on the locations can be found under the following link: 

https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/index.html

The method for anonymizing IP addresses used by Google does not write any IP addresses to the hard disk, as the anonymization takes place immediately after receiving the request takes place in memory. The IP address transmitted in the browser is also not merged with other Google data.

  1. Reach measurement on the Commerzbank website:
    Commerzbank uses Google Analytics data to measure reach. This includes campaign URL parameters to assign a website visit and the associated interactions to a specific source (e.g. marketing campaigns).  In this way, Commerzbank can find out how the Commerzbank online offer is being accepted and whether improvements are necessary. On behalf of Commerzbank, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website. Based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR , Google creates website activity reports and provides other services related to website and internet usage. These services include, in particular, functions for displaying Google Analytics reports that contain information on performance with regard to demographic aspects and the interests of the website operator. Google may transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process data on behalf of Google. However, this is in no case personal data..
  2. Creation of prerequisites for the optimization of marketing campaigns by linking Google Analytics data with your Google Account profile using the Google Analytics Cookie ID, such as the determination of progress in the product application process, the completion of the application route and the actual product completion.
    Furthermore, Commerzbank AG uses Google Analytics to carry out cross-device analyzes (app + web data) and to display personal offers outside the websites hosted by Commerzbank AG using the advertising function of Google Analytics. The data collected via Google Analytics (pseudonym profile) may be linked by Google with the personal Google account, which can contain the bearer data of this pseudonym. As a result, it can be possible for Google to infer the natural person behind the pseudonym profile. Commerzbank cannot draw any conclusions about the personal carrier data on Google either in the case of cross-device analyzes or in the display of personal offers. The data collected by Google Analytics (e.g. URL) enable Commerzbank AG to draw conclusions about the customer status (e.g. visit to the logout page) or an interest in a Commerzbank product for advertising purposes. It is not possible to draw any conclusions about the natural person himself. The additional linkage of pseudonymous usage data collected with Google's DoubleClick Advertising Network also enables the demographic composition of Commerzbank website visitors and the effects on the interests of the user to be analyzed. Based on this, Google Analytics reports on the performance with regard to demographic aspects and interests through the use of data obtained through interest-related advertising and visitor data from third parties (such as age groups and interest groups). This helps Commerzbank to present better and, above all, more relevant advertising.
  3. Creation of prerequisites for the optimization of marketing campaigns by linking Google Analytics data with your Commerzbank customer profile using the pseudonym ID:
    By processing the pseudonym ID ( Pseudonym of your participant number) through Google Analytics, visits by existing customers to Commerzbank portals or Commerzbank banking apps can be linked, regardless of the device or browser used. The link is limited to those Commerzbank portals or apps in which you have given us your consent to use Google Analytics. So it is possible for Commerzbank, with your help, to get a deeper understanding of customer behavior on the Commerzbank portals and apps in order to be able to address you in a more targeted manner. For Commerzbank this is valuable information for planning its future direction. In addition, the seamless analysis of overarching processes (e.g. between app and website) to identify problems or obstacles is made possible. This is a small but important step for Commerzbank in order to be able to offer you an optimal customer experience on the Commerzbank portals.
    In addition, the pseudonym ID is processed by Google Analytics in order to expand the data generated there with segment analysis results for existing customers. In segment analyzes, existing customers are divided into segment groups according to certain characteristics. Segment analysis results contain information about the use of current Commerzbank products or a potential interest in new Commerzbank products. For example, Commerzbank is able to display relevant advertisements for existing customers outside the Commerzbank portals. Unnecessary advertising for Commerzbank products that have already been concluded can be avoided as much as possible.
  4. Optimizing the website:
    In addition, Commerzbank uses Google Optimize, a sub-service of Google Analytics. In order to increase the attractiveness, the content and the functionality of the Commerzbank website, Google Optimize enables new functions and content to be played out to a percentage of Commerzbank users and to statistically evaluate the changes in use. Google Optimize uses Cookies, which enable optimization and analysis of the use of the Commerzbank website.
    Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Commerzbank website in order to generate reports. About the optimization tests and the associated website activities and to provide Commerzbank with other services related to website and internet use.

    The through The Cookie generated data collection of the data on the use of this website (including anonymous IP address) and data processing by Google can be prevented in addition to the consent settings on the Commerzbank website with the help of a browser plug-in. Download and install the browser plug-in at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

This information gives you, as the contractual partner, an overview of the processing of your personal data that arises when using the DocuSign software. We inform you about what data we collect from you and how we use it. We will also inform you about your rights under applicable data protection law and tell you who you can contact if you have any questions.

3. Scope and Purpose of Processing

We process the following personal data:

• Your email address,
• Your (qualified) digital signature via DocuSign.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

The DocuSign software is used to formally simplify the processes within the controller. It is used where and in the form where the corresponding written form requirements allow this. Likewise, the traceability of the receipt of the necessary feedback can be facilitated.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR (optimization of formal processes).

Service providers used by us must meet special confidentiality requirements. You will only have access to your data to the extent and for the period required to perform the tasks.

We also use service providers located in third countries outside the European Union to process your data. Countries outside the European Union handle the protection of personal data differently than countries inside the European Union. There is currently no decision by the EU Commission that these third countries must generally offer an adequate level of protection. We have therefore taken special measures to ensure that your data is processed just as securely in the third countries as it is within the European Union. With service providers in third countries, we conclude the data protection contract (standard data protection clauses) provided by the EU Commission for the processing of personal data in third countries. This provides suitable guarantees for the protection of your data from service providers in third countries.

If there is a suspicion of a criminal offence, we can pass on your data to law enforcement authorities (e.g. police, public prosecutor's office).

6. Duration of storage

Your personal data will be stored as long as this is necessary to fulfill the stated purposes and as long as legal and/or contractual storage obligations are relevant.
After the end of the service relationship, the data will also be deleted after the relevant retention periods.

• Tax-relevant data, for example, is stored for a period of 6 or 10 years (§§ 257 HGB, 147 AO).
• The data processed via DocuSign is automatically deleted by the system after 120 days after the document has been completed.

7. Automated Decision Making; profiling

We do not process your data for so-called automated decision-making, including profiling.

The restrictions under §§ 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right to information and the right to erasure. In addition, there is a right of appeal to a competent data protection supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG).
