To which recipients are your data communicated?

When we communicate your data to other recipients, we undertake to ensure that they have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to guarantee the confidentiality and security of the data transferred. Please note that our comparison and information services on financial products and services do not imply that we transfer or communicate your personal data to the lending institutions with which we collaborate. On the contrary, when you register and submit an application on KreditFunds, you will be redirected to the website of the lending institution you choose from among those selected by us to process your loan application. In this way, in general the data we share will be anonymised data, although some banks and financial institutions require us to share identifying data with them, such as your telephone number or email, to check their internal databases and thereby personalise their offer. In addition, some banks and financial institutions require us to share your ID number with them so that they can adjust or improve their offers, by consulting creditworthiness files or credit information systems, fraud in contracting, or other similar queries, in public or private files that comply with the legally established requirements. In these cases, we communicate your data because it is necessary for the provision of the service, so if you object to this, we will not be able to provide you with said service. However, we take additional measures to guarantee your privacy, so you can exercise your rights in these cases directly with KreditFunds, as indicated in the section ‘What right can you exercise?’.

Is your personal data transferred to third countries outside the European Economic Area?

Some of our service providers may be located in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

The location of these companies outside the EEA implies the existence of an international transfer of your personal data, which could entail a lower degree of protection than that provided for in European regulations. However, at KreditFundsS we have implemented measures so that such transfers do not result in a lower degree of protection of your personal data.

In this regard, service providers located outside the EEA have signed the corresponding standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (“SCC”), an agreement signed by both entities by which the non-EU company guarantees that it applies European data protection standards.

Therefore, the use of these providers does not result in a lower degree of protection of your personal data than that which would result from the use of providers located in the European Union. You can consult the content of the SCC at the following link:

How do we treat your data when we send you commercial, advertising or marketing communications electronically?

With your consent by checking the corresponding box, you authorize us to process the personal data you have provided to us (name and surname, telephone number, or email address) in order to send you, electronically (SMS, email, telephone call, virtual assistant telephone call, or any other equivalent means) commercial, advertising, or marketing communications that may be of interest to you regarding financial products and services. We may also use our legitimate interest to send you commercial communications regarding our loan information and comparison services, similar to those you have previously contracted, and you may object at any time: When you receive advertising emails, we will give you the option to unsubscribe via a link, which will be available at the bottom of the email.

We may also create commercial profiles to best adapt your needs, preferences and interests; however, no automated decisions will be made based on this profiling.

Your personal data may be communicated to third parties with whom we have contracted certain advertising or marketing services, who will act as data processors and who process your data following our instructions and in compliance with the rest of the contractual obligations.
