Your rights
You have the right to know whether we process your personal data. This means that you have a right to be given a copy of/access to this data. You also have the right to receive more detailed information about what personal data we process and how we process it.
There are some exceptions to the right of access. This typically applies where we have a statutory duty of confidentiality, or where we are required to keep information secret in the interest of preventing, investigating or prosecuting criminal acts. If DNB cannot provide you with the information you request, you will be notified of the reason for this in writing.
How to exercise your right of access
If you would like to request information about the personal data we hold about you (Data Subject Access Request), please fill out and send the form above or contact us in writing at the address provided under “How to exercise your rights”.
If you believe that we are processing personal data about you that is inaccurate or misleading, you may require the data to be corrected or supplemented by additional information. You must be able to show that the data is inaccurate and inform us as to what is correct. After your enquiry, we will make sure to correct the incorrect personal data as soon as possible, and normally no later than within one month.
There may be cases where rectification is not practically possible, or where the information is correct but gives an incorrect impression. In these cases, we will ensure that your data is supplemented with additional information. That is, we will include your understanding of the situation, so that others will have a comprehensive overview of your situation.
If we have corrected your personal data, and we have previously provided that data to any third parties, we will attempt to notify those recipients of the changes if relevant. The obligation to notify of any changes does not apply if it proves to be virtually impossible for the recipient to implement corrections.
How to request rectification or supplementation with additional information
If you would like to request rectification or supplementation with additional information of your personal data, please fill out and send the form above or contact us in writing at the address provided under “How to exercise your rights”.
Remember that you also can edit your own personal data in the DNB Portal.
The right to object gives you, in certain cases, the opportunity to request that we stop using your personal data. We will always consider and respond to such an objection.
When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, you always have the right to object (right to opt out).
The right to object applies in different contexts with slightly different conditions:
- In cases where your personal data is processed because it is necessary to attend to a legitimate interest. Or because it is necessary to perform a task in the public interest. In such cases, you have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation. We address such objections specifically and individually. We may reject the objections if there are compelling reasons.
- In cases where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes without your consent. In these cases, we will always make sure to stop the processing of your personal data.
- If your personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes. In such cases, you may have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will process your objection as quickly as possible.

You have the right to receive certain personal data that we process about you so that it can be reused across different systems and services. The information you request is sent directly to you in a machine-readable format and may make it easier for you to transfer your information to a new service provider. This right is called ‘data portability’ and applies only to the personal data that:
- you yourself have provided directly, and
- is processed on the basis of your consent, or
- is processed on the basis of an agreement that we have with you.
Exceptions: You are not entitled to receive the following personal data, even if the above conditions are met:
Personal data that is only available in paper form or as scanned documents in our electronic archives.
The transfer of your data infringes the rights of others.
Personal data that is not collected directly from you and is thus not covered by this right.
Personal data prepared in analyses or assessments for internal use.
How to request to have your personal data in DNB transferred to others
To request a portable copy of the personal data in scope of data portability, please fill out and send the form above or contact us in writing at the address provided under “How to exercise your rights”.
We will provide your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
If we process personal data about you, you have, in some cases, the right to demand that your data will be deleted.
You may request the erasure of personal data if one of the following grounds is met:
- You withdraw your consent for the processing.
- You have objected to the processing of the data that you request to be deleted, and your objection is upheld. See more about the right to object above.
- The data you request to be deleted has been processed unlawfully.
- The information must be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
In many cases, we are required to retain information about you, even if you request erasure. This applies both during your customer relationship, and for a certain time after agreements and your customer relationship has ended. In practice, this means that you cannot demand that your personal data be deleted when we have a legal obligation to retain your personal data or we must safeguard our legitimate interests. This also applies if we need to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.

You may request that we restrict the way we process your personal data. This means that we cannot use your personal data actively. This is often in combination with other rights, for example to restrict the processing of your personal data while we consider a request for erasure or rectification.
For example, if you have asked us to correct your personal data, you can in the meantime request that we restrict the processing of this data until the error has been rectified.
We are obliged to restrict processing in some specific cases:
- If you believe that the personal data is inaccurate, the processing may be restricted to a period so that both you and DNB can check whether the personal data is correct and perform corrections if necessary.
- If the processing is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use instead.
- If we no longer require the data for the purpose of the processing, but we need the data to establish, enforce or defend a legal claim and therefore wish to retain your personal data.
- If you have objected to the processing and are awaiting feedback on the assessment of whether we have legitimate reasons for continued processing that take precedence over your interests.

Who do we share your personal data with?
There are several situations where we share personal data with third parties. Such third parties include e.g. the authorities, payment service providers and business partners. In some cases, we may also need to provide information at the request of authorities such as the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, the Swedish Tax Agency, The Swedish Financial Intelligence Unit and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, or to other parties in the context of judicial or corporate acquisition processes or the like.
Data protection rules and legislation regulate how and when such sharing with third parties may take place. In addition, there are provisions on confidentiality in several other acts that apply to the financial and securities sectors.
In order to provide our services and products, there are situations where we need to disclose your personal data. For example, if you have instructed us to transfer money or securities, we will need to disclose certain information to relevant third parties in the transaction to perform the transfer.
A data processor is a third party who processes personal data on our behalf. The data processor does not have its own purposes for processing personal data.
We have a data processor agreement with all our data processors, which regulates how and what personal data should be processed. This is how we ensure that personal data is processed in accordance with data protection rules and legislation and meets our own requirements for the processing of personal data.
We have data processors in Sweden and in other countries both inside and outside the EEA, such as:
- software providers
- cloud solution providers
- distributors and agents
- sourcing partners
- consultants
- companies in the DNB Group.
DNB is a group consisting of different companies, and thus there are multiple companies that are data controllers. There may be one or more companies within the Group that are the data controller for your personal data, depending on your relationship with one or more companies.
Sometimes we need to share personal data about you within the Group. For instance, this may be to fulfil customer agreements, to meet obligations under company law because requirements to our information security make it necessary, or due to anti-money laundering obligations. It may also be because we have a legitimate interest for various purposes mentioned in the privacy notice.
There are strict rules on confidentiality for financial services and investment firms, including for companies in the DNB Group. Before sharing personal data, we will always ensure that we also comply with our duty of confidentiality.
DNB has a shared customer register. The purpose of the Group customer register is to manage your customer relationship and coordinate offers of services and advice from the various companies in the DNB Group. The Group customer register contains information about you, such as name, date of birth, address and other contact details, which Group company you are a customer of, and the services and products for which you have entered into an agreement.
In some cases, we transfer personal data to organisations in countries outside the EEA, e.g. providers of IT services or other data processors. We can only make such transfers if the party to whom we transfer personal data has provided the necessary guarantees that the level of protection of the personal data is approximately the same as in the EEA.
It is also a requirement that the personal data concerned is ensured enforceable and effective rights related to the protection of this personal data in the third country.
In order for us to transfer your personal data outside the EEA, the GDPR requires us to have a valid legal basis for the transfer.
One of the following conditions must also be met:
- When the European Commission has determined that there is an adequate level of protection in the country in question.
- When other suitable security measures have been implemented and/or the data processor has provided the necessary guarantees that the personal data will be processed in a secure manner. This may be through the use of standard contracts (EU Standard Contractual Clauses) approved by the European Commission, or that the data processor has valid Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs).
- When there are exceptions in special cases, for example to fulfil an agreement with you or when you give your consent to the specific transfer.
Changes to this privacy policy
We have the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. When we make changes that are not purely linguistic or editorial, you will receive clear information about the changes, and what they mean to you, before they take effect.
If we require your consent in order to be able to fulfil our commitment to you and you do not agree to the amended terms, you have the right to terminate the agreement with us before the terms come into force.
