Data controllers in the DNB Group
DNB is an international financial group consisting of the parent company DNB Bank ASA and a number of Norwegian and international subsidiaries. Together, this constitutes the DNB Group.
The data controller for the processing of your personal data will typically be the DNB companies with which you have a customer relationship. The data controller is responsible for determining what your personal data will be used for, how it will be processed and what aids and tools will be used. Sometimes, several DNB companies have a joint controllership.
This privacy notice applies to the following companies in the DNB Group:
- DNB Bank ASA
- DNB Boligkreditt AS
- DNB Asset Management AS
- DNB Livsforsikring AS
- DNB Næringseiendom AS

In addition to being the parent company in the DNB Group, DNB Bank ASA is in a cooperating group with Fremtind Forsikring AS and Fremtind Livsforsikring AS. Your insurance through DNB is provided by Fremtind Forsikring. Formally, Fremtind has the insurance contract with you. However, as a customer, when you buy or make changes to your insurance policy, or you need to get in touch with an insurance advisor, you will contact DNB. Both DNB Bank ASA and the Fremtind companies will act as independent data controllers. Although Fremtind is the result of a merger between SpareBank 1 and DNB, SpareBank 1 will not have access to your personal customer information in DNB.

You have the right to receive certain personal data that we process about you so that it can be reused across different systems and services. The information you request is sent directly to you in a machine-readable format and may make it easier for you to transfer your information to a new service provider. This right is called ‘data portability’ and applies only to the personal data that:
- you yourself have provided directly, and
- is processed on the basis of your consent, or
- is processed on the basis of an agreement that we have with you.
Exceptions: You are not entitled to receive the following personal data, even if the above conditions are met:
- Personal data that is only available in paper form or as scanned documents in our electronic archives.
- The transfer of your data infringes the rights of others.

The right to object gives you, in certain cases, the opportunity to request that we stop using your personal data. We will always consider and respond to such an objection.
When processing personal data for direct marketing purposes, you always have the right to object (right to opt out).
The right to object applies in different contexts with slightly different conditions:
- In cases where your personal data is processed because it is necessary to attend to a legitimate interest. Or because it is necessary to perform a task in the public interest. In such cases, you have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation. We address such objections specifically and individually. We may reject the objections if there are compelling reasons.
- In cases where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes without your consent. In these cases, we will always make sure to stop the processing of your personal data.
- If your personal data is processed for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes. In such cases, you may have the right to object on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will process your objection as quickly as possible.
How to exercise your right to object in DNB
If you would like to object to a specific processing of your personal data, you can do so via our complaints department. For a more detailed overview of what types of processing you can object to, see the chapter entitled ‘Why we process personal data’.
You may always request that we stop using your personal data for marketing aimed directly at you, including profiling for such a purpose. If the marketing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent in the online bank under ‘Settings’.
If you are an employee, former employee or have applied for a position in DNB and wish to exercise your right to object, please contact HR support at peoplesupport@dnb.no. Remember to provide a phone number where you would like to be contacted.
If your enquiry concerns DNB Næringseiendom AS or companies managed by DNB Næringseiendom AS, please contact us at servicesenter@dnb.no. Remember to provide a phone number where you would like to be contacted.
If we process personal data about you, you have, in some cases, the right to demand that your data be deleted.
You may request the erasure of personal data if one of the following grounds is met:
- You withdraw your consent for the processing.
- You have objected to the processing of the data that you request to be deleted, and your objection is upheld. See more about the right to object above.
- The data you request to be deleted has been processed unlawfully.
- The information must be deleted in order to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
In many cases, we are required to retain information about you, even if you request erasure. This applies both during your customer relationship, and for a certain time after agreements and your customer relationship have ended. In practice, this means that you cannot demand that your personal data be deleted when we have a legal obligation to retain your personal data or we must safeguard our legitimate interests. This also applies if we need to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
How to exercise your right to erasure in DNB
If you wish to request the erasure of your personal data, you can use this form.
Do not use this if you wish to terminate a product or agreement. Instead, please contact customer service by chat or phone on (+47) 915 04800.
If you are a former employee or have applied for a position in DNB and wish to request the erasure of the personal data we collected about you in that context, please contact HR support at peoplesupport@dnb.no.
If your request concerns the erasure of your personal data in DNB Næringseiendom AS or companies managed by DNB Næringseiendom, please contact us at servicesenter@dnb.no. Remember to provide a phone number we can use to contact you.
If you believe that we are processing personal data about you that is inaccurate or misleading, you may require the data to be corrected or supplemented by additional information. You must be able to show that the data is inaccurate and inform us as to what is correct. After your enquiry, we will make sure to correct the incorrect personal data as soon as possible, and normally no later than within one month.
There may be cases where rectification is not practically possible, or where the information is correct but gives an incorrect impression. In these cases, we will ensure that your data is supplemented with additional information. That is, we will include your understanding of the situation, so that others will have a comprehensive overview of your situation.
If we have corrected your personal data, and we have previously provided that data to any third parties, we will attempt to notify those recipients of the changes if relevant. The obligation to notify of any changes does not apply if it proves to be virtually impossible for the recipient to implement corrections.
How to request rectification or supplementation with additional information
If you would like to request rectification or supplementation of your personal data, you can do so via our complaints department.
If you are a former employee or have applied for a position in DNB and wish to request rectification of your personal data, please contact HR support at peoplesupport@dnb.no.
If your request concerns rectification of your personal data in DNB Næringseiendom AS or companies managed by DNB Næringseiendom, please contact us at servicesenter@dnb.no. Remember to provide a phone number we can use to contact you.
You may request that we restrict the way we process your personal data. This means that we cannot use your personal data actively. This is often in combination with other rights, for example to restrict the processing of your personal data while we consider a request for erasure or rectification.
For example, if you have asked us to correct your personal data, you can in the meantime request that we restrict the processing of this data until the error has been rectified.
We are obliged to restrict processing in some specific cases:
- If you believe that the personal data is inaccurate, the processing may be restricted to a period so that both you and DNB can check whether the personal data is correct, and perform corrections if necessary.
- If the processing is unlawful, but you do not request erasure and instead request that we restrict the use of your personal data, we will continue to retain your personal data.
- If we no longer require the data for the purpose of the processing, but we need the data to establish, enforce or defend a legal claim and therefore wish to retain your personal data.
- If you have objected to the processing and are awaiting feedback on the assessment of whether we have legitimate reasons for continued processing that take precedence over your interests.
