Revo complies with the principle of storage limitation arising from the GDPR, according to which the storage of Personal Data in a form that allows the User to be identified, may take place for a period no longer than it is necessary for purposes for which the data are processed.

Revo processes Personal Data of the User for the duration of the maintenance of the Customer Profile and the validity of the Limit Agreement, and after deactivation of the Customer Profile and expiry of the Limit Agreement for archival purposes for the period required by law. If the User agrees, the Personal Data contained in the Limit Agreement and information on the performance of obligations under the Limit Agreement may be processed for the purpose of assessing creditworthiness, including analysis aimed at counteracting fraud, but not longer than for a period of 3 years, respectively after fulfilment of obligations towards Revo under the Limit Agreement, sale by Revo of receivables under the Limit Agreement or termination of the Limit Agreement. Personal Data collected in the process of applying for Financial Services may be processed by Revo on the basis of the User's consentin statistical analysis for 3 years. If there are claims against the User, Revo will process the User's Personal Data until the expiry of such claims or the period of limitation (as a rule 3 years, maximum 6 years).

Whenever the processing of Personal Data is based solely on the User's consent (e.g. processing for the purpose of sending the Newsletter), it shall be processed for the relevant purpose until the date of revocation (withdrawal) of that consent. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing, which was performed on the basis of this consent before such withdrawal.

Where the basis for processing of Personal Data is the legitimate interest of Revo, processing shall be carried out for the duration of such interest, except where such interest is overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the User which require protection of their Personal Data.

With regard to data processed in the Credit Bureau system, these are stored at Credit Bureau level and made available to participants for a period of 7 years from the date of registration.

Automatic Processing of Personal Data and Profiling

Revo processes Personal Data using also an automated decision-making process (i.e., without human involvement, using advanced algorithms). This procedure shall be used to assess creditworthiness and credit risk analysis and to prevent fraud. Automated decision-making allows for uniform application of the lending criteria, increases the chance that the amount of the Limit and withdrawals from the Limit will be appropriately matched to the User's repayment capacity, eliminates possible human error, and significantly speeds up the processing of the User's application.

The result of the automated analysis affects Revo's decision to grant or not to grant the Limit or to withdraw from the Limit or to grant an amount different from that requested. These decisions may only be taken on the basis of data concerning the User and relating to an obligation necessary in view of the purpose and nature of the loan.

Revo may also process Personal Data by profiling them in order to better match Financial Services to the User's needs or to propose new Revo products and services, including in cooperation with Suppliers, if he agrees to send the Newsletter. Profiling may be based in particular on the results of the User's creditworthiness test, his shopping preferences or location data (in particular, location data obtained from the User's mobile device using the Mokka Application).

To the extent that Personal Data is processed only in an automated manner, the User has the right to object to the decision made on this basis, receive appropriate explanations from Revo and human intervention in order to make a final decision.

Revo transfers or may transfer Personal Data to the following categories of entities cooperating with Revo:

Transfer of Personal Data outside the European Economic Area (to a third country)

Personal Data of the User will be transferred by Revo to cooperating entities outside the European Economic Area. The basis for such transfer is, in accordance with GDPR, appropriate contractual safeguards in the form of Standard Data Protection Clauses adopted by the European Commission in its decision of 5 February 2010. (2010/87/EU). When transferring Personal Data to the US, Revo will only transfer Personal Data to recipients that have been certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield program and are currently subject to the above Standard Clauses.
