Collection of personal data

Personal data will usually be collected from you when you (or your company) applies for one of our products with DLL. Occasionally, DLL may obtain personal data from other sources (for example: the Rabobank Group or credit rating companies).

Scope and purposes of processing personal data

Your personal data will be used by DLL for performing credit verifications, providing and improving our financial products and services, inclusion in our contract administration and customer relationship management systems, compliance with applicable rules and regulations, prevention of fraud and money laundering, maintaining and – subject to your prior authorization – expanding our commercial relationship with you (e.g. through direct marketing), and to conduct market research. DLL may also use your personal data to syndicate and securitize financial products to other financial companies.
