Privacy notice flow app
This Privacy Notice describes how we, Deutsche Bank AG, Taunusanlage 12, 60325 Frankfurt/Main, Germany, as controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) collect and process personal data and other information of you when using the “flow app”.
1. Categories of personal data, processing purposes and functionalities
a. Personal Data actively provided by you:
- flow newsletter registration: After you have downloaded the flow app, you can voluntarily register to receive flow newsletters via the web view function in the app by inserting your email address (“Registration Data”), whereupon you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. The legal basis for the processing of such newsletter registration data, in this case your email address, is your consent, which you have given in the registration process via the web view function of the app.
b. Other passively collected information:
In addition to the personal data that you actively provide, the flow app may automatically collect, process and store certain information on an anonymous basis:
- Technical monitoring – such as where the app was downloaded from, aggregated usage, performance data or events that occur within the flow app. This technology is required to ensure the technical functionality of the app, to recognise errors and anomalies (e.g. to identify cyberattacks and to monitor if the app is accessible and app content like articles, magazines, videos or podcasts can be opened on different mobile devices). This analytical functionality will not be used for any marketing purpose. The legal basis for the technical monitoring is our legitimate interest.
c. Push notifications
For the creation and distribution of push notifications we use Firebase Cloud Messaging, which is a messaging service provided by Google Ireland Limited. These notifications may include updates of new flow articles, the release of our flow magazine and other important app release information (like new app functions or upcoming app releases).
If you agree to push notifications, Firebase Cloud Messaging will use a so-called Firebase installation ID to determine which devices to send messages to.
Firebase retains Firebase installation IDs until you withdraw your given consent to receive push messages in the flow app. After withdrawing your consent, Firebase Cloud Messaging will remove your data from live and backup systems within 180 days.
The legal basis for using push notifications is your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by clicking on “More” in the app navigation and changing the “Notification settings” under “App settings”.
2. Recipients of personal data
a. Transfer to service providers
The flow app itself doesn’t require IT services where an external service provider will have access to your personal data (Registration Data).
The flow app provides the voluntary option to subscribe to our flow newsletters via the web view function in the app. IT services for the newsletter subscription will be provided by an external service provider. When providing such services, the external service provider may have access to and/or may process your personal data. We request those external service providers to implement and apply security safeguards to ensure the protection and security of your personal data. The transfer of personal data to the newsletter subscription service providers is based on your consent, which you have given in the registration process via the web view function of the app.
b. Other recipients
Within the bank, those offices are given access to your data which require them in order to perform our precontractual and statutory obligations. Service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may also receive data for these purposes if they observe banking secrecy and our written instructions under data protection law. Recipients of personal data may be, for example processors to whom we transfer personal data in order to perform the business relationship with you. Specifically: support of EDP / IT applications, marketing, website/mobile application management.
c. International transfers of personal data
If service providers in a third country are used, they are obligated to comply with the data protection level in Europe in addition to written instructions by agreement of the EU standard contractual clauses or other appropriate legal safeguards.
