2. Sources of personal data

2.1 Dissemination via third parties
You can give us permission to obtain your bank account information from your bank and you can give us consent to obtain information from public registers.

2.2 Automated collection of technical data
When you use our services, we automatically collect some technical information, such as which device you use. For this purpose, we use cookies and similar technologies.

3. Types of personal data

3.1 Bank account information
Bank account information is the transaction data and other information about your accounts that we retrieve from the accounts you have chosen to give us access to.

3.2 Personal register information
Personal register information is information obtained from the Central Population Register (CPR) in Denmark based on your CPR number.

3.4 Technical data
Technical information about how you access and use the services.

3.5 Sensitive personal data
Some of your payment data that we process may indirectly contain sensitive information, e.g., payments to political organizations, religious communities, or similar. Such information will not be identifiable in the overview of your finances that we calculate on your behalf. Instead, it will be automatically grouped and displayed in a non-sensitive manner, e.g., payments of membership fees to a political organization will be displayed as "membership fees to associations." This ensures that your sensitive information is protected while we can provide you with an accurate overview of your finances.

Data processing necessary for us to provide services, e.g. combining payments from your accounts into categories.

7. Other recipients of personal data

Where necessary for the technical operation of the services, we may disclose your personal data to companies that assist with this operation. These companies may only use the information where necessary for the operation and where we have entered into data processing agreements that ensure confidentiality and data security, among other things.

If you give us your specific consent, we may also disclose your personal data to other partners, such as your credit provider.

Finally, we may disclose your personal data if we are legally obliged to do so or if it is necessary for us to defend ourselves against or assert legal claims.

7.1 Joint financial overview
If you prepare a joint financial overview, one of you will have access to certain information about the other's personal finances, such as information about income and expenses. This is because the advice or credit assessment must take into account your joint financial situation, and therefore one of you must view and edit the overall overview before you can share it with your advisor or potential lender.
