2. Key Information about CYGNUS’s Data Management
2.1 Purpose of Data Processing
The purpose of data processing is to conduct a solvency assessment based on your
bank account data. This assessment is typically requested by you (the Data Subject)
to prove your financial health or solvency, such as for a rental application where a
landlord may require proof of your ability to pay.
2.2 Legal Basis for Processing
According to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, the processing is necessary for the
performance of a contract or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a
contract. For example, we process your data to generate a financial health assessment
to support your rental application.
2.3 Scope of Personal Data Processed
We process the following personal data:
Bank Account Information: Transaction history, account balances, outgoing and
incoming cash flows, fraud patterns, and potential solvency issues from the last
90 days or any other period agreed upon.
Personal Identification Data: Name, bank account number, email, phone
number, address.
Risk Rating (Score): Based on your financial transactions, a solvency score is
calculated using profiling techniques.
2.4 Duration of Data Processing
We process your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose of the
financial health assessment and in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Once the purpose of the data processing is complete, your data will be securely deleted
unless retention is required for legal obligations.
2.5 Transfer of Personal Data
We do not transfer your personal data to third countries or international organizations.
Your data remains within the European Economic Area (EEA), and we ensure it is
protected by strong data privacy measures.
2.6 Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
The SCORIA service uses automated decision-making, including profiling, to evaluate
your financial health. This involves analyzing your banking data using algorithms to
provide a solvency score. This process allows us to assess your financial ability to
meet obligations like paying rent. You have the right to request human intervention or
object to the automated decision-making as described in Section 3.
3. Your Data Protection Rights
As the Data Subject, you have several rights under the GDPR in relation to your
personal data. These rights include:
3.1 Right to Access
You have the right to request access to your personal data and receive a copy of it, as
well as information about how and why your data is being processed.
3.2 Right to Rectification
If your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it
be corrected or completed without undue delay.
3.3 Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data under certain
circumstances, including when:
The data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
You withdraw consent and no other legal basis for processing exists.
You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for
continuing the processing.
The data has been unlawfully processed.
CYGNUS may refuse the request to erase your data if the processing is required for
compliance with legal obligations or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal
claims.
3.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You can request the restriction of processing under certain circumstances, such as
when the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful, or you need
the data for legal claims while CYGNUS no longer requires it for processing.
3.5 Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and
machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller where
technically feasible.
3.6 Right to Object
You can object to the processing of your personal data if it is based on legitimate
interest grounds. If CYGNUS cannot demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons that
override your rights and freedoms, we will stop processing your personal data.
3.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
If the processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time
by contacting us via the details provided. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the
lawfulness of the processing carried out before its withdrawal.
4. Security Measures
CYGNUS takes all necessary security, technical, and organizational measures to
ensure that your personal data is protected against unauthorized access, alteration,
disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
Encryption: All data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
Access Controls: Strict access controls are in place to ensure that only
authorized personnel have access to your data.
Audits: Regular security audits and monitoring are conducted to maintain
compliance with industry standards.
5. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
When you use the SCORIA service, automated decision-making and profiling are
applied to assess your solvency. This means that your bank account information (e.g.,
transactions, income, and expenses) is processed using algorithms to generate a
solvency score. This score reflects your ability to meet financial obligations, such as
rent.
You have the right to:
Request human intervention in any decision made by automated means.
Express your views on the outcome of the automated decision.
Object to the automated decision if it significantly affects you.
6. Changes to the Privacy Policy
