Integrity & privacy policy

Effective date 2023-03-16

General

Mynt’s integrity & privacy policy describes how Mynt AB, org. no. 559100-8874 (hereinafter "Mynt", "we" or "us"), processes personal data collected through websites, partners and other channels. It also describes which cookies are used on the website to improve the user experience and enable us to provide our service.

Mynt is a financial institution registered with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and mainly conducts corporate finance operations.

Mynt values ​​your privacy and personal information and works with appropriate technical and organizational security measures to ensure that your privacy is not violated and that your personal information is treated fairly, legally and transparently. Our privacy policy states why and how we process your personal data, that it is done correctly, and that we do not store more of it or longer than necessary. Of course, we process your personal data in accordance with current EU data protection legislation.

This privacy policy applies to you who are a customer of ours, work for a company that is a customer of ours or has been in contact with us.

Digital channels include our websites and social media such as mynt.se, mynt.com and certain other services that we provide online, as well as HTML-formatted e-mails that we send to you.

How we handle personal data

Why do we process your personal data?

To be able to deliver our services

We process your personal data in order to be able to deliver and administer the service you or the company you work for have shown interest in according to our business agreement or have ordered from us. We need to be able to establish your identity and make a fair credit assessment of your business. We may also share your personal information with the third party who has mediated the contact. We also use personal information to be able to respond to inquiries that you make to our customer service. Examples of personal data that we use for this purpose are contact information (such as name, title, professional role, telephone number and address) as well as order and payment history (such as purchase and transaction history and payment information).

For our customers: Our legal basis is fulfilment of agreements.

For those who are employed by a company that is a customer of ours: Our legal basis is balancing of interests, as we assess that our interest in fulfilling our agreement with your company outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data.

To improve the user experience

We use your personal information to be able to provide you with a better and more user-friendly service. We think it is important that it is easy for you to use our service. This mainly applies to your experience of registration, application, signing of an agreement and login. Personal data is also processed to be able to adapt the display of content in digital channels, to the device you use and provide you with an improved user experience.

Our legal basis is balancing of interests, as we assess that our interest in providing you with a better and more user-friendly service outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data.

To be able to present relevant offers and recommendations

We want to be able to provide you with relevant recommendations and offers based on your company's conditions, for example by sending you newsletters. Please note that you always have the right to demand that we stop using your personal information for direct marketing.

For you who are a customer with us: Our legal basis is balance of interests, as we assess that our interest in providing you with relevant recommendations and offers outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data (for marketing via e-mail, SMS, MMS and others automatic systems if certain legal requirements are met).

For those who are not customers with us: Our legal basis is consent.

To analyze trends and further develop our products and our offer

We use personal data to better understand market trends and thus further develop and improve our digital channels, our products, services and our offering.

Our legal basis is balance of interests, as we assess that our interest in analyzing trends and further developing our products and our offer outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data.

To prevent, limit and investigate abuse of our channels

We may need information about user behaviour, activities and technical data in order to prevent, limit and investigate any violations and misuse of our channels such as false personal data, spamming, embezzlement or attempts to log in with another user's personal data and other behaviours that are prohibited by law.

Our legal basis is a balance of interests, as we assess that our interest in preventing, limiting and investigating the misuse of our channels outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data.

Administration in connection with company acquisitions, restructuring of Mynt, etc.

If an outside party wishes to acquire Mynt or our customer database, Mynt will disclose your and others' personal information to the acquiring company. In that case, that company will continue to use your personal information for the same purposes as those we have stated in this privacy policy if you do not receive other information in connection with the transfer.

Our legal basis is balancing of interests, as we assess that our interest in enabling an acquisition process outweighs your interest in the protection of your personal data. However, this presupposes that the acquiring company conducts similar activities as Mynt.

To fulfil our legal obligations and to prevent and prosecute crimes

We use your personal information to fulfil our legal obligations, e.g. according to the requirements of the Accounting Act and the Money Laundering Act.

Our legal basis is a legal obligation.

We will also disclose information about you if we receive a request from prosecutors or police.

Our legal basis is in the public interest, for the purpose of preventing or prosecuting crime.

How do we collect personal data?

We collect personal data in different ways:

Via digital channels: We collect personal information via our digital channels when you, for example, sign up for a newsletter, receive product offers, want to be contacted, download a material, send information to us via email or start an application for a business loan or register for another of our services.

Offline: We may collect personal information via other non-digital channels if, for example, you visit us at an event, during a telephone call or if you otherwise meet one of our sales representatives or contact customer service.

Via other sources: In order to constantly improve our service and provide you with relevant marketing and offers, we may collect information about you through other partners such as a public database, marketing partners who have your consent or social media.

We may receive information from people who act on your behalf, for example with the support of a power of attorney or as a representative of a company in which you are involved (eg as an owner or board member). We can also get information from social media and advertising platforms and analytics providers.

We may combine information we receive from you with information about you that we receive from third parties, where this is permitted by law. For example, we may combine information we have collected offline with information we collect online, to the extent covered by the purpose of the transaction or your consent. In the same way, we can also combine information we receive from a third party with information we already have.

How do we use personal data?

Personal data is used as described in this privacy policy and in accordance with what is required by applicable law.

Examples of primary uses:

  • to set up your account and processing your application for a card
  • to establish your identity
  • to maintain and administer your account, including processing your financial payments and monitoring your account for fraud
  • to conduct credit assessments of your business
  • to answer your questions
  • to improve our websites, our services and our tools, e.g. credit rating models.
  • to administer our website and our internal operations.
  • for security purposes. Where permitted by law, we may use your information to protect our business, our customers and our websites.
  • to fulfil our legal obligations, e.g. at a money laundering check.
  • for information and marketing purposes. For example, we may send you information about new services and special offers (with your consent if you are not already a customer of ours).

Automatic decision making

Note that we use credit data for automated decision making in credit assessment. This means that an automated credit assessment will be made of your and your company's financial circumstances to see if you will be able to repay the financing we give you. The automated decision is made on the basis of information about payment remarks, assets and liabilities. If the credit rating indicates that you will not be able to repay the financing, your request may be denied. If you have views on the decision made, you have the right to contact us. We will then review the information behind the decision and any additional information you have given us. The review will take place by a person who has the authority to change the decision if it turns out that the decision has been made on incorrect grounds.

How do we secure personal data?

We use standard security measures and carry out ongoing organizational, technical and administrative measures to protect personal data within our organization. While we take reasonable steps to protect your personal information, you should be aware that no security procedures or protocols are guaranteed to be 100 percent secure from intrusion or hacking. Therefore, there is always a certain risk assumed by sharing personal information online. All transmission of data to us via digital channels takes place at your own risk. We encourage you to be careful when using the internet. This includes not sharing your passwords. If you have reason to believe that your contact with us is secure, contact us immediately (see "Contact" below).

How long do we store personal data?

We retain your personal information and other information only for the time necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this privacy policy and other requirements set by law. When your personal information is no longer relevant for the purposes for which it was collected, we will delete or de-identify it. As an example, we store personal data related to the Accounting Act for seven years, calculated from the end of the calendar year in which the financial year to which the information belonged ended, in accordance with law, and related to money laundering for at least five years, calculated from the time the relevant measures or the transactions were performed or the business relationship ended. According to the current statute of limitations, certain information, such as receivables, is saved for up to 10 years.

How do we share personal information?

Where the law allows, we may share information with third parties with whom we do business. We may also share your personal information with the police or prosecutor upon such request. When we use third party service providers, we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and confidential.

To provide service it is sometimes necessary for us to share personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), e.g.:

  • with service providers located outside the EEA;
  • if you are based outside the EEA;
  • where there is an international dimension to the services we are providing to you.

These transfers are subject to special rules under European data protection law. Non-EEA countries do not have the same data protection laws as the EEA. We will, however, ensure the transfer complies with data protection law and all personal information will be secure. We will send your data to countries where the European Commission has made an adequacy decision, meaning that it has ruled that the legislative framework in the country provides an adequate level of data protection for your personal information. You can find out more about this here.

Where we send your data to a country where the European Commission has not made an adequacy decision, our standard practice is to use standard data protection contract clauses that have been approved by the European Commission. To obtain a copy of those clauses, please go to the European Commission’s website. 

In cases where a third party has mediated the contact between you and us, we report information about our dealings with such third parties. It can e.g. refer to the size and number of credits granted, how the repayment of the credits is handled and other information provided in connection with you taking out a credit.

We may share information with a successor to all or part of our business. For example, if part of our business or assets are sold, we may include user information as part of this transaction. See more about this under "Why do we process your personal data?" above.
