"
We use automated decision-making, including profiling, to assess your creditworthiness and to prevent fraud. This means we use technology to make decisions about you without human involvement. These decisions can affect whether we offer you our services and on what terms. You have the right to obtain human intervention, express your point of view, and contest the decision.
