1. Why have a privacy policy?
There are a number of laws which set out important standards regarding information that identifies a living individual. This is known as "personal data." All organisations processing personal data must do so fairly and lawfully. They must also be registered or notified with the Commission Nationale pour la Protection des Données (CNPD) whose role it is to ensure that organisations comply with their data processing obligations. If you wish, you can view a copy of our data protection notification (cf. “Registre public”) by visiting the CNPD's website (i.e.www.cnpd.public.lu). At TD Bank International S.A. we treat all of our obligations seriously and take all steps necessary to comply when we store and process your personal data.

2. What personal data do we collect about you and how?
It is essential to us to collect, store and process your personal data so that we can offer and perform our services. Typical information we might ask for includes your name, your address, other contact details and bank account information. We may also store other personal data.
In addition our servers automatically receive and record information on all visitors to our websites. Please see section 6 (below) about cookies for more information.

We will hold your personal data (aside from the automatic information detailed above) once we have received your application form.

We may contact you by telephone, post, email and other electronic messages such as short text, video and picture messaging with information, news, events and seminars on our investment, banking and financial services.

5. Safeguarding your personal data
We take all reasonable care in the collection, storage, processing and disclosure of your personal data and have implemented internal security procedures so as to minimise the risk that unauthorised parties will be able to access the information. It is because of these security procedures that we may ask for proof of identity before we disclose any personal information about you.

Nonetheless, the Internet is an open medium and we cannot guarantee that any information you send to us by email or via our website will not be intercepted or tampered with. To help protect your personal data and minimise the risk of it being intercepted by unauthorised third parties our secure servers employ industry standard Secure Socket Layer v3 (SSL) when you submit information to us through our website. This security is signified by the "https" and the padlock on the URL bar. Some older browsers do not allow the use of current SSL technology and we therefore recommend that you use an up to date browser for example Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 or above.

You can also help to protect your personal data, by following the guidelines below:

  • choose a password that you will be able to remember but that would be hard for someone to guess. Ideally it should include special characters (such as "?" or "#" for example) and numbers. We recommend that you change it regularly and if you need to write it down, always keep it in a safe place;
  • make sure that no-one can see the details you are entering when you log-in;
  • if other people have access to your computer, remember to close your browser each time you log-off and end your session and, if possible, clear any history of the websites you have visited and that your browser may have saved or "cached"; and never disclose your account details to anyone.
