The Bank ensures that your personal data are transmitted strictly in accordance with applicable legislation. Service providers (processors) used by the Bank process your data only for strictly defined purposes, which are set out in personal data processing contract.
Generally, your personal data are processed and stored in the territory of the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). However, in some cases, we may need to transfer your personal data to other countries outside the EU and EEA, or international organisations that may apply a lower-level data protection policy. In such cases, the Bank will take all steps to ensure the security of transferred personal data.
The Bank may, in certain cases, transfer your personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA for the following reasons:
such transfer of personal data is necessary for the provision of payment services in accordance with your contract with the Bank, e.g., when executing an international payment order at your request, the personal data may be transferred to a correspondent bank based in China or to a money remittance company based in the United States;
the software service provider (data processor) engaged by the Bank is located outside the EU and EEA, for example, in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK), and the transfer of data is necessary to ensure the proper provision of services in accordance with the contract between the Bank and the service provider.
The Bank transfers personal data to countries outside the EU and EEA, or to international organisations, if one of the following security measures is applied:
the contract is signed with the recipient of personal data based on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission;
the recipient of personal data must be located in a country recognized by decision of the European Union as applying adequate data protection standards;
a permission from State Data Protection Inspectorate must be obtained.
The current list of countries that are not members of the EU and EEA, but have been recognised by a decision of the European Commission as having adequate standards for the protection of personal data, is available on the European Commission’s website: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_lt.

The video surveillance data are recorded and stored for a minimum of thirty (30) and a maximum of ninety (90) days. If the video surveillance data are necessary for the Bank’s internal investigation, are/shall be used as evidence in a civil, administrative or criminal case or in other cases established by the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania, the video surveillance data shall be stored to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes.
In certain cases, the Bank carries out profiling and makes decisions by automated means:
If you have given consent to the processing of personal data for direct marketing purposes and have not withdrawn such consent, the Bank profiles your personal data, i.e., performs automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects related to you, in particular to analyse your interests, behaviour, movement, economic situation, and payment habits with the purpose of anticipating your needs more accurately and provide you with offers, services and/or products that best suit your interests.
he Bank uses profiling for analysis and assessment by making automated decisions related to, for example, assessment of creditworthiness and credit risk management. Your credit rating is determined using information systems and algorithms and is used as a basis for making a decision on provision of financial services. If you do not agree with the decision taken by automated means, you have the right to demand the involvement of a Bank employee, express your position, receive an explanation of the decision and challenge the decision.
In order to ensure the implementation of anti-money laundering and terrorist financing prevention measures, the Bank carries out profiling and assigns you a risk category according to the risk associated with you, the risk of products, services and/or operations, risk of a country and/or geographical region, and the risk of the main economic activity. Depending on the assigned risk category, the available intensity of use of Bank services and the periodicity of updating your information may vary.

Your personal data are collected and processed for explicit and legitimate purposes, established prior to beginning of the processing, and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes (the purpose limitation principle).
