Introduction
We take the protection of your personal data very seriously; accordingly, the BNP Paribas Group has adopted strong principles in its Personal Data Protection Charter available at BNP Paribas - Personal Data Privacy Charter .
Arval ("We"), as a controller, is responsible for collecting and processing your personal data in relation to its activities.
Our business is to provide an extensive offer of vehicles leasing and mobility solutions to our customers (individuals, entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises and large companies).
As a member of an integrated banking-insurance Group in collaboration with the various entities of the BNP Paribas Group, we provide our customers with a complete range of banking, insurance and leasing products and services.
The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to explain how we process your personal data and how you can control and manage them.
1. ARE YOU SUBJECT TO THIS NOTICE?
This Privacy Notice applies to you if you are ("You"):

- an employee of our corporate customers.
When you provide us with personal data related to other people, please make sure that you inform them about the disclosure of their personal data and invite them to read this Privacy Notice. We will ensure that we will do the same whenever possible (e.g., when we have the person's contact details).
2. HOW CAN YOU CONTROL THE PROCESSING ACTIVITIES WE DO ON YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
You have rights which allow you to exercise real control over your personal data and how we process them.
If you wish to exercise the rights listed below, please submit a request by mailing a letter to the following address Arval UK Data Protection Correspondent at Arval UK Limited, Whitehill House, Windmill Hill Business Park, Swindon, SN5 6PE or on our websites with a scan/copy of your identity card where required.

If you wish to have access to your personal data, we will provide you with a copy of the personal data you requested as well as information relating to their processing.
Your right of access may be limited in the cases foreseen by laws and regulations. This is the case with the regulation relating to anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism, which prohibits us from giving you direct access to your personal data processed for this purpose. In this case, you must exercise your right of access with Information Commissioner's Office which will request the data from us.
2.2 You can ask for the correction of your personal data
Where you consider that your personal data are inaccurate or incomplete, you can request that such personal data be modified or completed accordingly. In some cases, supporting documentation may be required.

If you wish, you may request the deletion of your personal data, to the extent permitted by law.
2.4 You can object to the processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests
If you do not agree with a processing activity based on a legitimate interest, you can object to it, on grounds relating to your particular situation, by informing us precisely of the processing activity involved and the reasons for the objection. We will cease processing your personal data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for doing so or it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
2.5 You can object to the processing of your personal data for commercial prospecting purposes
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for commercial prospecting purposes, including profiling, insofar as it is linked to such prospecting.

If you question the accuracy of the personal data we use or object to the processing of your personal data, we will verify or review your request. You may request that we suspend the use of your personal data while we review your request.
2.7 You have rights against an automated decision
As a matter of principle, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing based on profiling or otherwise that has a legal effect or significantly affects you. However, we may automate such a decision if it is necessary for the entering into or performance of a contract with us, authorised by regulation or if you have given your consent.
In any event, you have the right to challenge the decision, express your views and request the intervention of a competent person to review the decision.
2.8 You can withdraw your consent
If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time.

2.10 How to file a complaint with Information Commissioner's Office

Appendix 1
Processing of personal data to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism
We are part of a banking Group that must adopt and maintain a robust anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) programme for all its entities managed at central level, an anti-corruption program, as well as a mechanism to ensure compliance with international Sanctions (i.e., any economic or trade sanctions, including associated laws, regulations, restrictive measures, embargoes, and asset freezing measures that are enacted, administered, imposed, or enforced by the French Republic, the European Union, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control, and any competent authority in territories where BNP Paribas Group is established).
In this context, we act as joint controllers together with BNP Paribas SA, the parent company of the BNP Paribas Group (the term "we" used in this appendix therefore also covers BNP Paribas SA).
To comply with AML/CFT obligations and with international Sanctions, we carry out the processing operations listed hereinafter to comply with our legal obligations:
- A Know Your Customer (KYC) program reasonably designed to identify, verify and update the identity of our customers, including where applicable, their respective beneficial owners and proxy holders;
- Enhanced due diligence for high-risk clients, Politically Exposed Persons or "PEPs" (PEPs are persons defined by the regulations who, due to their function or position (political, jurisdictional or administrative), are more exposed to these risks), and for situations of increased risk;
- Written policies, procedures and controls reasonably designed to ensure that the Bank does not establish or maintain relationships with shell banks;
- A policy, based on the internal assessment of risks and of the economic situation, to generally not process or otherwise engage, regardless of the currency, in activity or business:
- for, on behalf of, or for the benefit of any individual, entity or organisation subject to Sanctions by the French Republic, the European Union, the United States, the United Nations, or, in certain cases, other local sanctions in territories where the Group operates;
- involving directly or indirectly sanctioned territories, including Crimea/Sevastopol, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, or Syria;
- involving financial institutions or territories which could be connected to or controlled by terrorist organisations, recognised as such by the relevant authorities in France, the European Union, the U.S. or the United Nations.
- Customer database screening and transaction filtering reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable laws;
- Systems and processes designed to detect and report suspicious activity to the relevant regulatory authorities;
- A compliance program reasonably designed to prevent and detect bribery, corruption and unlawful influence pursuant to the French "Sapin II" Law, the U.S FCPA, and the UK Bribery Act.
In this context, we make use of:
- services provided by external providers that maintain updated lists of PEPs such as Dow Jones Factiva (provided by Dow Jones & Company, Inc.) and the World-Check service (provided by REFINITIV, REFINITIV US LLC and London Bank of Exchanges);
- public information available in the press on facts related to money laundering, the financing of terrorism or corruption;
- knowledge of a risky behaviour or situation (existence of a suspicious transaction report or equivalent) that can be identified at the BNP Paribas Group level.
We carry out these checks when you enter into a relationship with us, but also throughout the relationship we have with you, both on yourself and on the transactions you carry out. At the end of the relationship and if you have been the subject of an alert, this information will be stored in order to identify you and to adapt our controls if you enter into a new relationship with a BNP Paribas Group entity, or in the context of a transaction to which you are a party.
In order to comply with our legal obligations, we exchange information collected for AML/CFT, anti-corruption or international Sanctions purposes between BNP Paribas Group entities. When your data are exchanged with countries outside the European Economic Area that do not provide an adequate level of protection, the transfers are governed by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. When additional data are collected and exchanged in order to comply with the regulations of non-EU countries, this processing is necessary for our legitimate interest, which is to enable the BNP Paribas Group and its entities to comply with their legal obligations and to avoid local penalties.

Automated decisions including profiling
Automated decisions
Some of our personal data processing is fully automated and leads to a decision about you without human intervention, for example automatic decision to grant financing products to customers (including individuals and companies).
In order to make this decision in an automated way, we base ourselves:
- on the data entered (i.e. the purpose of the product/service, identification information, etc.);
- on the data available to us in the context of our existing relationship;
- on publicly available information as well as information that other agencies are required to consult.
We make sure that the data we use is as up to date as possible in order for our decision models to be as up to date as possible and we adapt the models to the customer's profile and review them regularly.
Profiling
As part of the processing of your personal data, we use various profiling techniques to assist us with running our business. By "profiling" we mean the automated analysis of personal data about a customer to evaluate certain things about them – basically drawing conclusions about the customer based on a statistical model. We may use these techniques in the course of evaluating applications for cards and/or loans for affordability and suitability, undertaking credit limit increase eligibility checks, to manage your account, and for marketing and targeted advertising purposes. We may also automatically decide that you pose a fraud or money laundering risk or if our processing reveals your behaviour to be consistent with that of known fraudsters or money launderers; or is inconsistent with your previous submissions; or you appear to have deliberately hidden your true identity.
You have the right to challenge the decision/profiling, express your views and/or request the intervention of a competent person to review the decision/profiling.
