Your data protection rights as a data subject</h2><p>You have several rights under the GDPR related to you having control of your personal data and to receive information directly from us on how we process personal data about you. In the following you can read about your rights. If you want to know more or come in contact with us to exercise your rights, the easiest way is to email us on <a href="mailto:privacy@klarna.ie" aria-label="privacy@klarna.ie (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">privacy@klarna.ie</a>. If you want to receive information about the data Klarna holds about you through so-called subject access, or have certain data deleted, you can send a request to us by filling out <a href="https://www.klarna.com/ie/privacy-and-security/#privacy-request-form" aria-label="this form (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">this form</a>, which is available on our homepage. For other types of questions please use the contact details in section 12.<p><strong>Your rights</strong><ul><li><p><strong>Right to have personal data deleted (“Right to be forgotten”).</strong><br><br>In some cases, you have the right to have us delete personal data about you. For example you can request us to delete personal data that we (i) no longer need for the purpose it was collected for, or (ii) process based on your consent and you revoke your consent. There are situations where Klarna is unable to delete your data, for example, when the data is still necessary to process for the purpose for which the data was collected, Klarna’s interest to process the data overrides your interest in having them deleted, or because we have a legal obligation to keep it. You can read more about our legal obligations to keep data in section 4 and 9 in this Privacy Notice. The laws described there prevent us from immediately deleting certain data. You also have the right to object to us using your personal data for certain purposes such as direct marketing, which you can read more about in this list of your rights.<li><p><strong>Right to be informed.<br><br></strong>You have the right to be informed of how we process your personal data. We do this through this privacy notice, by service-specific FAQs, and by answering your questions.<li><p><strong>Right to receive access to your personal data (“Data Subject access”).<br><br></strong>You have the right to know if Klarna processes personal data about you, and to receive a copy (“data extract”) of such data, so-called data subject access. Through the data extract you will receive information about what personal data Klarna holds about you and how we process it.<li><p><strong>Right to access, and request a transfer, of your personal data to another recipient (“Data portability”).</strong><p>This right means that you can request a copy of the personal data relating to you that Klarna holds for the performance of a contract with you, or based on your consent, in a machine-readable format. This will allow you to use this data somewhere else, for example to transfer your personal data to another controller/recipient.<li><p><strong>Right to rectification.</strong><p>You have the right to request that we rectify inaccurate information or complete information about you that you consider is inaccurate or incomplete.<li><p><strong>Right to restrict processing.</strong><p>If you believe that your personal data is inaccurate, that our processing is unlawful or that we do not need the information for a specific purpose, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of such personal data. You also have the possibility to request that we stop processing your personal data while we assess your request. If you <em>object </em>to our processing per your right described directly below, you may also request us to restrict processing of that personal data while we make our assessment.<li><p><strong>Right to object against our processing of your personal data.</strong><p>You have the right to object to processing of your personal data which is based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), by referencing your personal circumstances. You can also always object to our use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. When you let us know that you no longer wish to receive direct marketing from us, we will turn off marketing for you, and stop sending it to you.<li><p><strong>Right to object to an automated decision that significantly affects you</strong>.<br><br>You have the right to object to an automated decision made by Klarna if the decision produces legal effects or significantly affects you in a similar way. See section 6 on how Klarna makes use of automated decisions.<li><p><strong>Right to withdraw yourconsent.&nbsp;</strong><p>As described in section 5 below, where we process your personal data based on your consent or explicit consent, you have the right to revoke that consent at any time.

Klarna’s profiling and automated decisions that significantly affect you.</h2><h3>6.1 Klarna’s profiling of you as a customer.</h3><p>“Profiling” means an automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal matters, for example, by analysing or predicting your personal preferences, such as buying interests. At the same time, we compare your data with what our other customers, with similar use of our services, have preferred.<p>The purpose of Klarna’s profiling and the personal data types used for each occasion and for each profiling are described in detail in section 4 above. You can match the below descriptions with the purposes in section 4 above using the numbers in brackets “<strong>[x]</strong>”.&nbsp; The profiling for these purposes does not have a significant impact on you as a customer.<p>We use profiling for the following purposes:<ul><li><p>to deliver our customised services, which customise their content and recommendations based on what we think is most interesting or relevant to you (this applies to the Klarna mobile application, its various functions such as the product expert and shopping assistants, when you interact with our customer service assistant and the order different payment methods appear at Klarna’s checkout), (Purposes [19, 38, 47, 50 and 55] in section 4)<li><p>to determine which is the most efficient way to contact you about your outstanding debt (looking at different channels, for example by sms or email, or the timing of such communication), (Purpose [25] in section 4) and<li><p>to deliver customised marketing to you across both our own and external platforms and services. (Purposes [13 and 43] in section 4)<p>Our services utilise machine learning models and artificial intelligence models in order to provide you with as relevant content as possible.</ul><p>If you have any questions about how the profiling process works, please contact us. Contact information is available in section 12. You may object to our marketing profiling at any time by contacting us (and we will then cease profiling for marketing purposes). You may also end our profiling for our services by terminating the service.<h3>6.2 Klarna’s automated decisions that significantly affect you.</h3><p>Automated decisions with legal effect, or automated decisions that similarly significantly affect you, means that certain decisions in our services are completely automated, without our employees being involved. These decisions have a significant effect on you as a customer, comparable to legal effects. By making such decisions automatically, Klarna increases its objectivity and transparency in the decision to offer you these services. At the same time, you have the right to object to these decisions at all times. You can read about how to object to these decisions at the end of this section 6.2. When doing these assessments we utilise machine learning models and artificial intelligence models in order to ensure as high quality as possible in our decisions.<p>Automated decisions that significantly affect you also mean that profiling is performed based on your data before the decision is made. This profiling is made to assess your financial situation (before the decision to offer or grant credit),to identify whether your use of our services involves a risk of fraud or money laundering or to decide whether you are liable for a purchase. We profile your user behaviour and financial standing and compare this data with behaviours and conditions that indicate different risk levels for us.<p>The different user behaviour and conditions are evaluated and weighted into our automated decision-models, so that we end up with a totalling score, which then results in either accepting or rejecting your use of our Services. We can also choose to request further identification from you, if we are not sure who you are.<p><em>When does Klarna take automated decisions that significantly affect you?</em><p>The personal data types used in each decision are described in section 4. You can match the below descriptions with the purposes in section 4 above using the numbers in brackets <strong>“[x]”</strong>.<p>We make this kind of automated decision when we:<ul><li><p>decide to approve your application, or to offer you,&nbsp; to use a credit service.<li><p>decide <em>not </em>to approve your application, or <em>not </em>to<em> </em>offer you, to use a credit service.<br>These automated credit decisions are based on the data you provide to us, data from external sources such as credit bureaus’ credit worthiness reports and Klarna’s own internal information about you if we have lent you money before. In addition to information about you, Klarna’s credit model includes a large number of other factors, such as Klarna’s internal credit risk levels and our customers’ general repayment rates (based on, for example, the current product category). (Purposes [24 and 31] in section 4).<li><p>decide whether you pose a risk of fraud, if our processing shows that your behaviour indicates possible fraudulent conduct, that your behaviour is not consistent with previous use of our services, or that you have attempted to conceal your true identity. Automated decisions whereby we assess whether you constitute a fraud risk are based on information you have provided yourself, data from fraud prevention agencies (see section 7.2.3. for details of which ones we use), and Klarna’s own internal information. Klarna continuously develops our fraud models to keep our services secure, and closely investigate how fraudsters operate on different markets (for example which merchant categories or products are mostly subject to fraud attempts). (Purposes [5, 21 and 41] in section 4).<li><p>decide whether there is a risk of money laundering, if our processing shows that your behaviour indicates money laundering. In relevant cases, Klarna also investigates whether specific customers are listed on sanction lists. (Purposes [20, 29 and 34] in section 4).<li><p>decide whether you are liable for a purchase that you have disputed as “unauthorised” based on whether the information you provide, or we have about the purchase, point towards potential fraudulent behaviour or not. This by comparing what has happened in your case to other transactions indicating fraudulent behaviour. (Purpose [46] in section 4).</ul><p>See section 7 for more information about whom we share information with as regards profiling during automated decisions.<p>If you are not approved under the automated decisions described above, you will not have access to, or will not be able to use Klarna’s services, such as our payment methods. Klarna has several safety mechanisms to ensure the decisions are appropriate and fair. These mechanisms include ongoing overviews of our decision models and random sampling in individual cases. If you have any concern about the outcome, you can always contact us, and we will determine whether the procedure was performed appropriately. You can also object in accordance with the following instructions.<p><strong><em>Your right to object to these automated decisions</em></strong><p>You always have the right to object to an automated decision with legal consequences or decisions which can otherwise significantly affect you (together with the relevant profiling) by sending an e-mail message to <a href="mailto:privacy@klarna.ie" aria-label="privacy@klarna.ie (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">privacy@klarna.ie</a>. A Klarna employee will then review the decision, taking into account any additional information and circumstances that you provide to us.</section><section><h2 id="7"><a href="#7" class="terms__anchor" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"><svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" height="24" width="24" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><g transform="translate(0, 0) scale(1)"><path d="M12.102678,8.0492991 C12.147678,8.1132991 12.191678,8.1802991 12.231678,8.2462991 C12.953678,9.4322991 12.866678,10.9682991 12.016678,12.0682991 L12.016678,12.0682991 L10.055678,14.6782991 C9.38467803,15.5442991 8.38067803,15.9972991 7.36867803,15.9972991 C6.64667803,15.9972991 5.92167803,15.7672991 5.30867803,15.2932991 C3.83567803,14.1532991 3.56467803,12.0282991 4.70467803,10.5542991 L4.70467803,10.5542991 L5.24567803,9.8352991 L6.84467803,11.0362991 L6.29467803,11.7672991 C5.82167803,12.3792991 5.93167803,13.2462991 6.53267803,13.7112991 C7.13367803,14.1782991 7.99967803,14.0662991 8.46567803,13.4652991 L8.46567803,13.4652991 L10.425678,10.8552991 C10.781678,10.3952991 10.816678,9.7682991 10.521678,9.2832991 L10.521678,9.2832991 Z M9.94321211,5.3181991 C11.0922121,3.8341991 13.2182121,3.5641991 14.6902121,4.7031991 C16.1632121,5.8431991 16.4342121,7.9691991 15.2942121,9.4421991 L15.2942121,9.4421991 L14.7532121,10.1611991 L13.1542121,8.9601991 L13.7042121,8.2291991 C14.1772121,7.6171991 14.0672121,6.7501991 13.4662121,6.2851991 C12.8662121,5.8181991 11.9992121,5.9311991 11.5332121,6.5311991 L11.5332121,6.5311991 L9.57321211,9.1411991 C9.21721211,9.6011991 9.18221211,10.2281991 9.47721211,10.7131991 L9.47721211,10.7131991 L7.89621211,11.9471991 C7.85121211,11.8831991 7.80721211,11.8161991 7.76721211,11.7501991 C7.04521211,10.5641991 7.13221211,9.0281991 7.98221211,7.9291991 L7.98221211,7.9291991 Z" style="transition:fill .2s ease 0s" fill-rule="evenodd"></path></g></svg></a>7. Who do we share your personal data with?</h2><p>When we share your personal data, we ensure that the recipient processes it in accordance with this notice, such as by entering into data transfer agreements or data processor agreements with the recipients. Those agreements include all reasonable contractual, legal, technical and organisational measures to ensure that your information is processed with an adequate level of protection and in accordance with applicable law.<h3>7.1 Categories of recipients with whom Klarna will always share your personal information, regardless of the service you use.</h3><h4>7.1.1 Suppliers and subcontractors.&nbsp;</h4><p><em>Description of the recipient</em>: Suppliers and subcontractors are companies that only have the right to process the personal data they receive from Klarna on behalf of Klarna, i.e. data processors. Examples of such suppliers and subcontractors are software and data storage providers, payment service providers and business consultants, providers of machine learning/artificial intelligence functionality and Klarna Group companies.<p><em>Purpose and legal basis</em>: Klarna needs access to services and functionality from other companies where it cannot perform them itself. Klarna has a legitimate interest in being able to access these services and functionality (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We ensure that the processing this entails is necessary to pursue that interest, and that our interest outweighs your right not to have your information processed for this purpose. You are entitled to object to this processing, for reasons connected to the circumstances in your particular case. See section 2 for more information about your rights.<h4>7.1.2 Klarna Group.&nbsp;</h4><p><em>Description of the recipient</em>: Companies in the Klarna Group.<p><em>Purpose and legal basis</em>: This is required for Klarna to be able to provide you with its services and functionalities. Klarna has a legitimate interest in being able to access and provide these services and functionalities (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We ensure that the processing this entails is necessary to pursue that interest, and that our interest outweighs your right not to have your information processed for this purpose. You are entitled to object to this processing, for reasons connected to the circumstances in your particular case. See section 2 for more information about your rights.<p>When you shop in a foreign store (meaning a store located outside of the EU/EEA area) that has an agreement with another company within the Klarna Group, the disclosure of your personal information between Klarna companies is required in order for the two Klarna companies to manage your payment and enable the foreign store to administer your purchase. The legal basis for this processing is the performance of a contract (Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR).<p>The receiving Klarna Group company will handle your personal data in accordance with the privacy notice that applies in your country (see <a href="https://www.klarna.com/international/privacy-policy/" aria-label="list (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">list</a>). You can read more about how Klarna safeguards your personal data when transferred outside of the EU/EEA in Section 8.<h4>7.1.3 A person who holds a power of attorney for your financial affairs.&nbsp;</h4><p><em>Description of the recipient</em>: Klarna may share your personal information with a person who has the right to access it under a power of attorney.<p><em>Purpose and legal basis</em>: This processing is carried out to facilitate your contact with us (through agents), and takes place based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).<h4>7.1.4 Authorities.&nbsp;</h4><p><em>Description of the recipient</em>: Klarna may provide necessary information to authorities such as the police, financial authorities, tax authorities or other authorities and courts of law.<p><em>Purpose and legal basis</em>: Personal data is shared with the authority when we are required by law to do so, or in some cases if you have asked us to do so, or if required to manage tax deductions or counter crime. An example of a legal obligation to provide information is when it is necessary to take measures against money laundering and terrorist financing. Depending on the authority and purpose, the legal bases are the obligation to comply with the law (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR), to fulfil the agreement with you (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), or Klarna’s legitimate interest in protecting itself from crime (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).<h4>7.1.5 Divestment of business or assets.</h4><p><em>Description of the recipient:</em> In the event that Klarna sells business or assets, Klarna may hand over your personal information to a potential buyer of such business or assets. If Klarna or a significant part of Klarna’s assets is acquired by a third party, personal information about Klarna’s customers may also be shared.<p><em>Purpose and legal basis</em>: Klarna has a legitimate interest in being able to perform these transactions (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). We ensure that the processing this entails is necessary to pursue that interest, and that our interest outweighs your right not to have your information processed for this purpose. You are entitled to object to this processing, for reasons connected to the circumstances in your particular case. See section 2 for more information about your rights.<h3>7.2 Categories of recipients with whom Klarna shares your personal information when you use Klarna’s payment methods, Klarna at a store, or choose to pay by debit or credit card in Klarna’s check-out at a store.</h3><h4>7.2.1 Stores.</h4><p><em>Description of the recipient:</em> By stores we mean the stores you visit or shop at (which may include the store’s group companies if you have been informed thereof by the store).<p><em>Purpose and legal basis:</em> In order for the store to be able to perform and manage your purchase and your relationship with the store or its group companies, e.g. by confirming your identity, sending goods, handling questions and disputes, in order to prevent fraud and, where appropriate, send relevant marketing. The store’s privacy notice applies to the processing of your personal data that has been shared with the store and that the store processes. Normally, you will find a link to the store’s privacy notice on the store’s website. The legal basis for sharing data with stores is partly the performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR), insofar as the data sharing takes place to perform the contract between you and the store, and partly based on Klarna’s and the store’s legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

When can we transfer your personal data outside of the EU/EEA, and how do we protect it then?</h2><p>We always strive to process your personal data within the EU/EEA area. But in certain situations, such as when we share your information within the Klarna Group or with a supplier, subcontractor or store which operates outside the EU/EEA, your personal data may be transferred outside the EU/EEA. Klarna always ensures that the same high level of protection applies to your personal data according to the GDPR, even when the data is transferred outside of the EU/EEA. Your rights in respect to your personal data (described in detail in section 2), are not affected when data is transferred outside of the EU/EEA. More information about the recipients Klarna shares your data with you can find in section 7.<p>When you shop with a store placed in a country outside of the EU/EEA area, our sharing of your personal data with that store means that your personal data will be transferred to this country outside of the EU/EEA area.<p>Certain suppliers of Klarna use Binding Corporate Rules (“BCR”) when they transfer personal data outside of the EU/EEA area within their own company group. Such BCR have been approved by an EU data protection authority and ensures that the same high level of protection applies to your personal data when it is transferred.<p>If you want more information about our safety measures you can always contact us. You can find our contact information in section 12. You find more information about which countries are deemed to have an “adequate level of protection” on the <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en" aria-label="European Commission’s website (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">European Commission’s website</a>.

Regardless of whether we or any of our providers process your personal data, we will ensure that a high level of protection is guaranteed when transferring that data and that appropriate protection measures have been taken, in accordance with applicable data protection requirements (such as the GDPR). Such appropriate safeguards include, but are not limited to, ensuring:<ul><li><p>if the European Commission has decided that the country outside of the EU/EEA to which your personal data are transferred has an adequate level of protection, which corresponds to the level of protection afforded by the GDPR. This means for example that the personal data is still protected from unauthorized disclosure, and that you may still exercise your rights in regards to your personal data, or&nbsp;<li><p>the European Commission’s standard clauses have been entered into between Klarna and the recipient of the personal data outside the EU/EEA. This means that the recipient guarantees that the level of protection for your personal data afforded by the GDPR still applies, and that your rights are still protected. In these cases, we also assess whether there are laws in the recipient country that affect the protection of your personal data. Where necessary, we take technical and organizational measures so that your data remain protected during the transfer to the relevant country outside the EU/EEA.<li><p>that the transfer is covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This is an opt-in certification scheme for US companies, administered by the US Department of Commerce. This Privacy Framework includes a set of enforceable principles and requirements that must be certified to by the US company, ensuring that your data is still being sufficiently protected.</ul><p>Despite the above, if the store where you choose to shop is located in a country outside the EU/EEA, our data sharing with that store (and with the Klarna entity that store has contracted with) means that your personal data will be transferred to and processed in this country outside the EU/EEA. Click <a href="https://www.klarna.com/international/privacy-policy/" aria-label="here (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> to access the privacy notices for other Klarna entities in the Klarna Group. Otherwise it would not be possible to administer your purchase. Klarna primarily relies on the European Commission’s standard clauses to ensure the protection of your personal data for such data transfers, but as set out above, countries where the foreign store is located may have laws preventing the efficient protection by the standard clauses. Even if this is the case, your personal data will still be transferred to the foreign store (or the foreign store’s local Klarna entity), as long as the data transfer is necessary to administer your specific purchase.</section><section><h2 id="9"><a href="#9" class="terms__anchor" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1"><svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" height="24" width="24" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><g transform="translate(0, 0) scale(1)"><path d="M12.102678,8.0492991 C12.147678,8.1132991 12.191678,8.1802991 12.231678,8.2462991 C12.953678,9.4322991 12.866678,10.9682991 12.016678,12.0682991 L12.016678,12.0682991 L10.055678,14.6782991 C9.38467803,15.5442991 8.38067803,15.9972991 7.36867803,15.9972991 C6.64667803,15.9972991 5.92167803,15.7672991 5.30867803,15.2932991 C3.83567803,14.1532991 3.56467803,12.0282991 4.70467803,10.5542991 L4.70467803,10.5542991 L5.24567803,9.8352991 L6.84467803,11.0362991 L6.29467803,11.7672991 C5.82167803,12.3792991 5.93167803,13.2462991 6.53267803,13.7112991 C7.13367803,14.1782991 7.99967803,14.0662991 8.46567803,13.4652991 L8.46567803,13.4652991 L10.425678,10.8552991 C10.781678,10.3952991 10.816678,9.7682991 10.521678,9.2832991 L10.521678,9.2832991 Z M9.94321211,5.3181991 C11.0922121,3.8341991 13.2182121,3.5641991 14.6902121,4.7031991 C16.1632121,5.8431991 16.4342121,7.9691991 15.2942121,9.4421991 L15.2942121,9.4421991 L14.7532121,10.1611991 L13.1542121,8.9601991 L13.7042121,8.2291991 C14.1772121,7.6171991 14.0672121,6.7501991 13.4662121,6.2851991 C12.8662121,5.8181991 11.9992121,5.9311991 11.5332121,6.5311991 L11.5332121,6.5311991 L9.57321211,9.1411991 C9.21721211,9.6011991 9.18221211,10.2281991 9.47721211,10.7131991 L9.47721211,10.7131991 L7.89621211,11.9471991 C7.85121211,11.8831991 7.80721211,11.8161991 7.76721211,11.7501991 C7.04521211,10.5641991 7.13221211,9.0281991 7.98221211,7.9291991 L7.98221211,7.9291991 Z" style="transition:fill .2s ease 0s" fill-rule="evenodd"></path></g></svg></a>9. How long we store your personal data</h2><p>How long Klarna stores your personal data depends on the purposes for which Klarna uses the personal data:<ul><li><p>Personal data used for the contractual relationship between you and Klarna is generally stored for the duration of the contractual relationship and thereafter for a maximum of 10 years based on statutes of limitations.<li><p>Personal data that Klarna is under a legal obligation to retain, for example under anti-money laundering laws or bookkeeping laws, is generally retained for 5 and 7 years respectively.<li><p>We process the recordings of telephone conversations for a time period of 90 days for quality assurance purposes. We will also retain recordings of inbound and outbound calls for up to three years, as well as Klarna employees’ notations from these calls for up to six years, in order to document what has been discussed and decided on the call.<li><p>Personal data which is not used for the purposes of your contractual relationship with Klarna or where Klarna does not have a legal obligation to retain the data is only retained as long as necessary to fulfill the respective purpose for our data processing (usually 3 months). More information can be found in the table in section 4.</ul><p>In some limited cases, the personal data may need to be stored for a longer period because of capital adequacy laws which Klarna has to comply with.<p>The legal obligations referred to above means that Klarna can not delete your personal data, even if you request us to delete it, as described in section 2. If we don’t have a legal obligation to retain the personal data, we instead have to make an assessment if we may require the personal data in order to protect Klarna from legal claims.<p>Please note that just because we have a legal obligation to store your personal data, this does not mean that we are also permitted to use this data for any other purpose. Klarna will make an assessment for each specific purpose of how long we may use your personal data.
