What kind of personal data does ERST Finance use and for what purposes?

In its activities, ERST Finance is mostly using personal data, which has been provided by the data subjects themselves (for example, by using the contact or application form on the site). Given the specifics of ERST Finance’s operations, we only process a minimal amount of personal data – as much as it is needed to attract clients, as well as establish and maintain relationships.

ERST Finance is processing all personal data related to company representatives or contact persons based on the stated legal interests of ERST Finance (Article 6, paragraph 1, point f) of the Regulation), for the following purposes:

Depending on the cooperation type (a potential or an existing client), we can collect additional information in order to determine if there are any circumstances which would make it necessary to reassess the opportunities or types of cooperation. ERST Finance can also collect personal data from third parties (for example, debt history database, credit bureaus, public registers and databases), in such way obtaining information on the potential risk factors.

For this purpose we can use any of the following personal data types: name, surname, personal code, name of the company represented, position, information about indebtedness, information on the occupied positions in other companies, as well as other information depending on the particular situation.

The personal data of company representatives or contact persons will be used for inclusion in the draft contract, as well as in the process of conclusion of the contract. ERST Finance can also collect personal data from third parties (for example, public registers) to verify the rights of representation.

For this purpose, we can also use any of the following data types: name, surname, personal code, contact phone number, email address, name of the company represented, position, the scope and term of authorisation, caption of signature, as well as other information depending on the particular situation.

In certain cases, personal data can be handed over to our service providers (for example, legal offices, advertising and marketing service providers) within the framework of legally established intentions or in the process of fulfilling legal obligations (for example, providing information to our auditors). Personal data can also be shared with our data processors (for example, server maintainers, outsourced accountants), however, in such case a data processing contract would be concluded and ERST Finance would still hold full responsibility over data processing.
