You have identified a way in which you can use customer data to inform customers of bank offers and offers from other vendors, based on their credit card spending history.
Although it’s Santander Bank Polska S. A.’s own data, regulators and legislators are becoming increasingly concerned about the way in which certain types of analytics projects can infringe on privacy, individual rights and potentially be in contravention of the GDPR and other legislation.
