manner
that is incompatible with those purposes;

for
the purposes for which the Personal Data is processed;
- processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the Personal Data, including
protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss,

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA
Processing of Personal Data requires a legal basis. The most predominant legal basis for
processing Personal Data within Investor Cash Management are: (i) Consent from the data subject
for one or more specific purposes; (ii) The performance of a contract to which the data subject
is party; (iii) A legal obligation or requirement; and (iv) legitimate interests pursued by
Investor Cash Management.
-
Consent. If the collection, registration and further processing of Personal Data on
clients, suppliers, other business relations and employees are based on such a person’s
consent to the processing of Personal Data for one or more specific purposes, Investor Cash
Management shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of
such Personal Data. Consent shall be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. The
data subject must actively consent to the processing of Personal Data by a statement or by a
clear affirmative action, to him/her. A request for consent shall be presented in a manner
which is clearly distinguishable from other matters, in an intelligible and easily
accessible form, and using clear and plain language. To process special categories of
Personal Data (sensitive Personal Data) the consent shall also be explicit. The data subject
is entitled to withdraw his/her consent at any time and upon such withdrawal, we will stop
collecting or processing Personal Data about that person unless we are obligated or entitled
to do so based on another legal basis.
-
Necessary for the Performance of a Contract. It will be legitimate to collect and
process Personal Data relevant to the performance of a contract to which the data subject is
party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a

contract negotiation or not.
-

legal obligations and requirements. Such legal obligation, to which Investor Cash Management
is subject, may be sufficient as a legitimate basis for processing of Personal Data.
Investor Cash Management and entities to which it is contracted to provide services are
required to comply with U.S. Securities, Banking, and Treasury Laws, such as the Bank
Secrecy Act. Such legal obligations include obligations to collect, register and/or make
available certain types of information relating to clients. Such legal requirements will
then form the legal basis for us to process the Personal Data, however, it is important to
note whether the provisions allowing or requiring Investor Cash Management to process
certain Personal Data also set out requirements in relation to storage, disclosure and
deletion.
-
Legitimate Interests. Data will only be processed where it is necessary for the
purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Investor Cash Management, and these
interests or fundamental rights are not overridden by the interests of the data subject.
Investor Cash Management will, when deciding to process data ensures that the legitimate
interests override the rights and freedoms of the individual and that the processing would
not cause unwarranted harm. For instance, it is a legitimate interest of Investor Cash
Management to process Personal Data on potential customers in order to verify the identity
of the customer. The data subject must be given information on the specific legitimate
interest if a processing is based on this provision.
