Privacy Policy

A. Overview

On the 25th of May 2018, the new European data privacy law, known as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), has come into force. GDPR defines a specific framework and set of rules for the protection of individuals within the European Economic Area (EEA) with regard to the processing of their personal data.

Any physical or legal person, be it an individual, a company or an organization that collects, stores, manipulates or otherwise processes personal data (hereafter collectively referred to as “processing”) is affected, and is required to adopt appropriate technical and organizational measures that make such processing compliant to the provisions of the GDPR. GDPR affects therefore any physical or legal person or body who performs processing irrespective if they are established within or outside the European Union, so long as such physical or legal persons perform processing of personal data for individuals who are in the European Union.

This Privacy Policy has been prepared by doValue Cyprus Ltd (hereafter referred to as “doValue”), with the objective of assisting our customers, employees, vendors, partners and all other interested parties that may be affected, gain an understanding of the measures we have adopted and operate, as part of our own GDPR compliance program and practices. When we mention doValue,we”, “us” or “our” in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to doValue Cyprus Ltd which is the relevant legal entity responsible for processing your data.

B. doValue as a Data Controller or Data Processor

In the context of the GDPR, doValue is a Data Controller (for example in relation to its own employees and external contractors and partners) and a Data Processor in relation to the access and processing of personal data of our customers’ borrowers. doValue is committed to performing all personal data processing in transparent and fair ways, based on processes which are private by design and using appropriate technical and organizational measures in support of security and privacy objectives. This commitment is applicable throughout the lifecycle of personal data processing, including during collection, transmission, use and storage.

doValue also commits to taking all reasonable steps to ensure that personal data processing is based on a valid legal basis. When doValue is the Data Processor, this commitment typically means that we rely on the Data Controller in each case, to establish a valid legal basis 1 for the processing we perform in that capacity. We also depend on the respective Data Controllers to notify us in a timely manner when any changes to the status of such legal bases occur.

In certain other cases, the processing we perform – in particular when we are the Data Controller - is dictated by legislation. Alternatively, personal data processing may be performed in order to fulfil a contract between doValue and the individuals involved; or may be based on the consent of affected individuals. In specific cases personal data processing may be based on our legitimate interests, especially those which emanate from our professional obligations and responsibilities and / or other regulatory frameworks subject to which we perform our work.

C. What is the Basis on Which we Justify Processing of Your Personal Data

In accordance with Article 6 of the GDPR, personal data processing is lawful if at least one of the processing bases described below applies:

  • the existence of evidenced consent of the data subject (i.e. the physical living person), whose personal data is processed

  • processing is necessary in order to enter into a contract to which the data subject is a contractual party or to take action at the request of the data subject before or after a contract is entered into force

  • processing is necessary to comply with a statutory obligation of the Data Controller or the Data Processor

  • processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Data Controller or Data Processor as relevant, unless such interest overrides the interest or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject who require the protection of personal data, in particular if the subject of the data is a child

  • processing is necessary to safeguard the vital interest of the data subject or other natural person

  • processing is necessary for the performance of an obligation performed in the public interest or in the exercise of public authority assigned to the Company.

Based on the above, doValue seeks to ensure that each type of personal data processing we perform is supported by one or more of the above legal bases. With very few exceptions, the legal bases applicable to our operational routines and the resulting personal data processing we conduct are those described in the first four bullets listed above.

D. How Do we Collect Personal Data

In the great majority of cases, we receive the personal data from our customers for example Banks or other Financial institutions, for the benefit of which, we provide debt recovery and related services and/or the owner of the property who for the purpose of the tender offer for and/or sale of the said property acts via and/or is duly represented by and/or has duly authorised doValue, in accordance with the terms of a power of attorney issued for the aforementioned purpose. In other cases, we receive personal data directly from the affected individual (i.e. the “data subject”). Typically, such personal data is requested when we initiate a relationship with the data subject, or in some cases at a later stage, after we commence interacting with the data subjects. There are various means via which we receive personal data including electronic records (e.g. those received from a Bank), paper-based forms, electronic self-service functions (e.g. in a website), or through email communications or physical exchange of contact information (such as a business card).

We may also collect personal data via automated means when data subjects interact with resources we provide (website logs, email submission tools, mobile applications, access control systems, time and attendance applications, CCTV systems, etc.). Our processes may also result in enhancements to the personal information we process about data subjects, as a result of the interactions and / or transactions between the data subjects and doValue.

Finally, in a comparatively limited number of cases, we get personal information for the data subjects from 3rd party sources, other than our customers. Key examples include references from previous employers during an employment application process, lawful 3rdparty databases during Know Your Customer (KYC) checks we may perform, and other lawful services of similar nature. If the data subject is a representative of one of the borrowers of a loan falling under our debt recovery services, we may receive their personal information directly from their employer / principal, or from other colleagues of the data subjects.

E. Why we Process Personal Data

We describe below the key ways we use personal information, and the legal bases of processing on which we rely for such processing.  We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate.

In general terms, we use the personal information we collect to help doValue better understand the respective data subject in each case and to enable us to accomplish the objectives of our services at the same time as respective the privacy rights of the individuals involved.  In this respect, we use personal information to:

  • deliver our services via interactions with affected individuals, in the most appropriate way possible, that is relevant and necessary for the objectives of our services

  • provide affected individuals with customer service such as responding to queries and executing actions or requests agreed upon between us

  • personalise our services, such as the administration, management and sale of real estate assets and provide users with a personalised experience on our websites and other electronic assets

  • offer website content that includes items that returning visitors might like and to keep track of their preferences and choices 

  • contact affected individuals about accounts we may be managing relating to them and inform them about important changes that affect them

  • manage surveys and questionnaires

  • check and verify the identity of individuals interacting with us, and prevent, mitigate or detect and investigate crime, fraudulent or illegal activities and

  • process purchases and payments and provide support as necessary.

Kindly be aware that your personal data may be processed based on more than one lawful purposes.  If you need more information as to the specific legal basis on which we are relying to process your personal data, please send us your specific request to dpo@cy.altamirdoValue.com.

F. How Long we Keep your Personal Data

Personal data may be maintained by us in physical and / or electronic form and be processed in ways designed to respect the principles of purpose limitation; data minimization; data accuracy; integrity and confidentiality; and retention limitation.

Specifically with regards to retention, the technical and organizational measures operated by doValue are designed to result in personal data being kept only for as long as required to fulfil our statutory, contractual, professional and / or regulatory obligations, and – if for longer periods - in accordance with the provisions of the specific legal basis of processing relating to each category of affected persons.

At the end of the retention periods applicable in each case, defined operational processes or routines shall result in personal data being deleted or destroyed in controlled ways, in electronic and physical form, as appropriate. In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

G. Sharing of Personal Data

Within doValue, your personal information can be accessed by or may be disclosed internally on a need-to-know basis, based on user access rights management processes.

Your personal information may also be accessible and / or accessed by third parties, including suppliers and advisers, as those are outlined below. When this happens, we take specific measures and steps to protect such shared information, as described in more detail in section “SUB-PROCESSORS TO doValue” of this Privacy Policy. In summary, such measures and steps include requiring all such 3rd parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with applicable laws and the GDPR. We do not allow our 3rd party service providers to use your personal information for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal information for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. The types of 3rd parties that may typically be involved in processing of your personal data include:

  • Service providers to doValue acting as Data Sub-Processors based in the EEA who provide IT, system administration services, payment providers to facilitate financial transactions, fulfilment providers, marketing and communications services providers in order to personalise your experience and communicate with you.

  • Professional advisers to doValue including lawyers, bankers, auditors and insurers based in the EEA who provide consultancy, banking, legal, insurance or accounting services.

In addition, there are circumstances where we may need to disclose your personal information to 3rd parties to help manage our business and deliver our services. In this context, we may disclose your personal information:

  • to 3rd parties to whom we may choose to sell, transfer, or merge parts of our business or our assets. Alternatively, we may seek to acquire other businesses or merge with them. If such a change happens to our business, then the new owners may use your personal information in the same way as set out in this Privacy Policy

  • to 3rd parties when we are under a duty to disclose or share your personal information in order to comply with any legal or regulatory obligation, or in order to enforce or apply our legal rights, in which case we may share your personal information with our regulators and law enforcement agencies in the EEA, or to our legal advisers and

  • when it is necessary in order to protect the rights, property, or safety of doValue, in which case we may disclose your personal information to our legal advisers and other professional services firms.

I. Technical & Organisational Measures Protecting Personal Data

GDPR imposes obligations to Data Controllers and Data Processors which in several cases are dependent upon consistent implementation of relevant measures and controls across their own operations as well as those of their Data Processors. Our policy is to process personal data with due regard to the security, privacy and protection of the data we receive, store and process. This privacy policy explains the types of such technical and organizational measures that we employ so as to enhance the level of protection of personal data that we process. These measures are also designed to maximise the control over privacy in accordance to GDPR and have the objective of providing a level of security that is appropriate to the related risks.
It is important to note that the nature of our business model dictates that doValue invariably uses its customers’ (i.e. the Banks’) systems and technologies. Whenever this happens, the relevant technical and organizational measures outlined below are managed and operated and under the complete control and responsibility of those customers. To this end, for all personal data processing achieved partially or wholly via the use of such systems and technologies, doValue relies and depends on the design adequacy of the related mechanisms and controls, as well as on their operational effectiveness as they affect doValue’s day to day operations.

  • As part of our overall data protection framework, doValue has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO), in accordance with the requirements of GDPR. Our DPO can be contacted at dpo@cy.altamirdoValue.com.

  • All our personnel, including service agents and / or relationships managers and handlers periodically observe GDPR-specific awareness sessions so as to maintain the currency of their understanding of GDPR and how it may impact our various operations that affect personal data we process.

  • We support the implementation of 3rd party entities’ (such as Banks and other customers of ours) lawfully issued instructions to us, in relation to data subjects for whom such 3rd party entities are Data Controllers, exercising their rights under GDPR, so long as such instructions do not come in conflict with our own legal, professional or regulatory obligations. In such cases, we shall seek to notify the 3rd party entity of the options available to them.

  • We seek to ensure that 3rd parties who support doValue operations or systems or who are otherwise involved in our personal data processing operations, have and operate necessary technical and organizational measures for protecting the security and privacy of personal data.

  • Our Incident Response Management and breach notification procedures, are designed to include escalation of identified incidents to our Data Protection Officer, who is authorized and experienced to involve related executives when such incidents involve personal data of one or more of doValue affected entities and / or persons.

  • Our internal policies stipulate that cross-border data transfers of personal information to which we have access and / or process during any customer engagement, are not allowed. If such cross-border data transfers are or become necessary, we shall seek to ensure that a valid lawful basis for such transfers evidently exists, in accordance with GDPR.

  • Our recruitment and ongoing personnel training and development, as well as the evaluation and disciplinary processes we operate, are designed to promote and maintain a high standard of professional ethics and competency at all levels of doValue, which is in line with industry standards and our professional and legal responsibilities.

  • In addition, doValue operates several complementary technical and organisational measures, designed to protect the privacy of personal information that we collect, store and process. Such measures include logical access controls and user rights management with the objective of minimising access to personal (and other doValue) information and data, only to authorised doValue personnel. We also utilise user access credentials management with enforced frequent changes, password complexity and maximum / minimum lengths, restrictions on reuse of same passwords, etc., complemented by a structured process for periodic review and confirmation of continued business need to such personal data.

  • Furthermore, doValue uses purpose-specific technologies and tools (such as firewalls, intrusion prevention, mail security gateways, data leakage prevention (DLP) sandboxing technologies, etc.), all designed to monitor and manage the security of its electronic perimeter. doValue also has in place an active and ongoing patch management program across security, server and endpoint devices for addressing newly released threats, and benefits from the use of endpoint malware protection at laptop, servers and desktop level. Finally, we also utilize technologies that deliver encryption for data in motion and at rest to protect against privacy risks in cases of hardware theft or loss.

  • A significant part of our operations involves 3rd parties (legal or physical persons) who are involved and / or provide support in many aspects including invariably in personal data processing. The related technical and organizational measures which we apply and operate with the objective of enhancing and maintaining privacy are described in the next section.

J. Sub-Processors to doValue

Like almost all organizations, doValue utilizes 3rd parties as part of its business operations and routines. Such 3rd parties include legal and / or physical persons who provide services and / or products relating to technology, debt recovery, human resource management, marketing, facilities management, accounting, legal and other areas which may have an impact on personal data processing (including processing as specified in this Privacy Policy).

When necessary in the context of such personal data processing, our selection process and criteria for cooperation with 3rd parties (suppliers, vendors or other advisors), incorporates consideration and evaluation of those 3rd parties’ level of GDPR readiness and compliance. In this respect, we seek to ensure that 3rd parties who support doValue operations or systems or who are otherwise involved in our personal data processing operations, have and operate necessary technical and organizational measures for protecting the security and privacy of personal data. Whenever relevant therefore, our contracts with 3rd parties include specific provisions designed to:

  • identify the respective role of the 3rd party as a Data Processor or Sub-processor to doValue

  • define the 3rd party’s GDPR-related obligations towards doValue, including:

        •  enforcement of doValue’s Data Retention Periods (which themselves reflect those of our customers as explained in this Privacy Policy)
        •   integration of the 3rd party’s Incident Response Management Process into that of doValue
        •   stipulating allowable access and connectivity methods for remote support (where relevant and necessary)
        •   definition of the processes via which doValue shall issue relevant instructions to the 3rd party in relation to the expected and required processing of personal information (where applicable), under each respective agreement
        •   stipulation of the technical protection methods and treatment of software system replicas by the 3rd party where relevant (for example for QA and / or development purposes), including encryption and / or pseudonomisation of personal data
        •   prohibition for conducting cross border data transfers by the 3rd party, except with the express, prior written permission of doValue (which itself is subject to, must be in line with and in compliance to, doValue’s contractual and other obligations to affected data subjects).

  • conferring to doValue the right to conduct periodic audits (including surprise audits) against the execution of GDPR related processes which the 3rd party supports and / or operates on doValue’s behalf.  In this context, doValue also seeks to implement review processes with the 3rd party sub-processors so as to jointly monitor on a periodic basis the effectiveness of execution of privacy processes and routines, in order for such processes to become and continue to be “Private by Design”, as relevant.
