products and services you have taken out with BBVA.
▪ Furthermore, when BBVA grants you financing for the purchase of a good or service, BBVA will inform the provider of

provider can track and monitor the operations paid by the Bank for the purposes of its own internal billing. BBVA may
also have to request information from the provider of the good or service concerning its delivery so that BBVA can
execute the respective financing contract.
The legal basis that allows us to process your personal data is the processing of the contract for the products and services
requested or that you have with BBVA.
Additionally, in certain cases, BBVA may, directly or through companies with which it contracts this service, obtain additional
data and process it on the basis of its legitimate interest to recover the amount of the debt.

The processing of your data in order for BBVA to verify the ownership of your account in which it intends to make a payment
or collection immediately or in the future, has as its legal basis the contractual relationship you maintain with both the
Applicant and BBVA and the purpose of this contract is to ensure that the parties comply correctly with the contract, so that
you avoid damages resulting from an error in the direct debit payment account.

your banking transactions as a customer, together with your personal data and your status as an individual entrepreneur,

well as to prevent situations in which you may be harmed as a result of the fraudulent activity of third parties.
For this purpose, we will also process your personal data to send you communications containing general information on
fraud operations for your knowledge.

where applicable, to the bank itself. You can exercise your right to object by sending an email to: derechosprotecciondatos@
bbva.com, or by requesting it at any of our branches.
In addition, to fulfill this purpose, we may report to and consult the data that appears in the following information systems:

The legal basis is BBVA's legitimate interest in preventing fraud during the application process, whereby it shares the data
relating to these operations with member entities in order to reduce identity theft and document tampering, thus protecting
customers and minimizing their financial loss, in the interest of society as a whole. Curtailing the ability to carry out fraudulent
operations means a reduction, in general terms, of subsequent crime and the implications for other crimes such as money
laundering or the financing of terrorism. This File is clearly in your interest, as it is intended to protect you from the fraudulent
practices of third parties that may affect you specifically.
If you do not agree, you can object by sending an email to: [email protected]

account holder where the transaction that is unauthorized or suspected of being fraudulent was detected. The system may
be consulted by financial institutions associated with this common system for the sole purpose of identifying, preventing and

Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., with registered address at Plaza San Nicolás, número 4, 48005 Bilbao, listed in the
banking operations that in any way involve your checking or savings account. Similarly, the processing described is carried
out in the interest of the account holders themselves who may be affected by fraud committed by third parties.
The data will be stored in the system for a maximum of thirty days in the event of suspicious transactions, and for one year
in the case of unauthorized transactions (when the fraud has been confirmed by the affected party). BBVA will automatically
delete the data included in the common system when it is no longer accurate or does not accurately reflect the actual situation

in accordance with the regulations for assessing solvency, such as credit information systems (Risk Information Center
of the Bank of Spain (CIRBE), Asnef-Equifax Servicios de Información sobre Solvencia y Crédito S.L., Experian Bureau de
Crédito, S.A., and credit assessment companies like Equifax Ibérica, S.L.); fraud prevention information systems, such
as Confirma; sources providing real estate valuations, such as Madiva Soluciones, S.L., vehicle appraisals obtained from
EUROTAX; and statistical sources.
For this purpose, we use data such as: identification and contact details, financial and solvency data, transactional
data, sociodemographic data, data on products and services, data included in the Aggregation and Payment Initiation
Services, communications data, data on the use of the channels made available by BBVA to manage your products and
services, information derived from the products and services you have taken out, data on the use of digital channels,
including browsing information and digital behavior data obtained from platforms and media centers assigned to cookies

approved financing or the product or service offered is best suited to your personal situation at the time.

We will analyze your CO2 emissions to calculate the carbon footprint you generate with your activity from your use of
electricity and fuel. We will do so by using details from your transactions with BBVA, specifically from those transactions
made with cards, as well as from direct debited bills you have in the BBVA accounts that are in your name, provided that
these transactions have been previously categorized as involving electricity, gas and transport. Similarly, we use the
details on the issuer of the bill in order to know the CO2 emission factor that has to be applied to generate this carbon
footprint.
Biscay Commercial Register, volume 2083, Folio 1, sheet B1-17-A, entry 1, with Tax ID no. A-48265169
The carbon footprint is calculated using data that is generated daily or, at the most, in the three previous days.
By analyzing these profiles as described in sections a) and b), we can offer you suggestions to help you manage your finances
and recommendations on the products and services that are best suited to your profile; and with the profile described in
section c) we can show you the level of CO2 emissions that you generate, so that, by knowing your carbon footprint, you can
reduce it.
The legal basis for the processing indicated in the previous sections is the legitimate interest of BBVA in (i) better knowing
its customers and creating a wider and improved range of products and services; and (ii) adjust its products/services to the
needs of customers. We consider this processing to be beneficial to you; in its analysis, we have taken into consideration
your rights and freedoms and, in particular, respect for your fundamental right to the protection of personal data; and
(iii) collaborate with citizens to improve their ecological efficiency by raising awareness among customers regarding the
environmental impact of their daily activities.
You can exercise your right to object by sending an email to [email protected], requesting so at any of
our branches, or through the app in the "Carbon Footprint" section. You can also modify the objection exercised via the email

If you give us your consent, we will process your personal data to prepare a broader risk profile in more depth than laid out
in the section above. The personal data we will process may correspond to the validity period of the products you
have with us, which is why this processing entails very detailed knowledge of your preferences as a customer as
a result of using more of your personal data.
To draw up your advanced risk profile, we will analyze your saving and debt capacity and your financial history. To do
this, in addition to the data analyzed in the basic risk profile, we use data such as: transactional (including texts of bills by
inference from the details of account and card transactions, such as origin, destination, purpose and third party related
to the transaction), including data from the Aggregation and Payment Initiation Services, when you consent when you
sign up for these services, from communications, data on how you use the Bank's channels, data you provide through
satisfaction surveys, including the information we collect from your browsing and use of digital channels when you
consent to our website and mobile cookie policy, details of your location (geolocation of your mobile device) when you
consent to it through the device, and data obtained from other sources, in addition to those indicated in the basic risk
profile, such as:
▪ Publicly-accessible sources such as official journals and bulletins, public registers, lists of members of professional
associations and Chambers of Commerce.

6. Data analysis
At BBVA, we analyze the information about our customers that is generated when you apply for the products you have with

recommendations, pricing models.
To carry out the above purposes, at BBVA we will sometimes create and use tools such as analytical and statistical models,
which are created and supplied with the information described in the section What data do we process?
Whenever possible, BBVA replaces the identification and contact details (identified in the previous section on “data
categories of data”) with a code, always maintaining the correspondence list between each code and the customer to whom
it corresponds independently and securely. This is known as pseudonymized data, and it preserves the identity of the data
holder.
Similarly, whenever possible, personal data will be subject to anonymization, tokenization and aggregation processes
to dissociate the information of any specific individual. We use technical measures in order to protect the identity of our
customers and provide guarantees in the event of security breaches, so that identification is prevented.
The legal basis is BBVA's legitimate interest to (i) continuously improve the quality and functionality of the services we offer
and of our operations, as well as to make a wider and improved range of products and services available to you; (ii) exploit
large volumes of anonymized information while respecting the privacy of customers, in order to have aggregated economic
information to exploit both internally and externally.
We believe this processing to be beneficial to you, and when analyzing it, we have taken into account your rights and freedoms
and, in particular, respect for your fundamental right to the protection of personal data.
If you do not agree, you can object by sending an email to: [email protected], or by requesting it at any
of our branches.
