This function uses the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) from Apple Inc. ("Apple") or the Google Cloud Messaging Service (GCM) from Google Inc. ("Google").

4.4 Identification procedure

Hypothekarbank Lenzburg and arvy are legally obliged to verify your identity when you open an account by checking a valid identity document and storing certain details from the identity document. To this end, we offer you an online identification option that is carried out in accordance with the criteria of FINMA Circular 2016/7 "Video and Online Identification" ("FINMA RS") of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA ("FINMA").

Online identification is carried out by Hypothekarbank Lenzburg. To this end, it relies on the services of Intrum AG (hereinafter referred to as "Intrum AG"), a company based and operating in Switzerland. Identity verification is carried out, among other things, by means of electronic copies of identification documents transmitted via encrypted channels. Arvy transmits the type of identification document (passport or ID card, nationality) to Intrum AG. Intrum AG assigns a transaction number to this data. For the further implementation of online identification, a secure connection is established between Intrum AG and your device, which enables the necessary digital verification of the identification features. In order to carry out this digital verification, the app must be able to access the rear and front cameras of your device so that photos (as well as a continuous video) of you, the front and back of your ID card and, if applicable, your foreigner's ID card can be taken. These photos, the video and the personal data collected are transmitted by Intrum AG to Hypothekarbank Lenzburg and on to arvy. During the online identification process, Hypothekarbank Lenzburg must verify the authenticity of the identity card or passport you have presented. To this end, Intrum AG's software electronically checks the integrity of the identity document and its optical security features in accordance with regulations. If the security features are not clearly recognisable or if there are other anomalies, a Hypothekarbank Lenzburg employee may subsequently carry out a manual check of the photos taken.

Customer support: arvy uses the Intercom and Pipedrive systems to provide customer support. In order for arvy to provide you with the best possible assistance, the following information may be stored for the sole purpose of providing support services: surname, first name, email address.
