Furthermore, we use cookies and analytical tools when you visit our website and provide you with in the relevant sections of this data protection notice.
We process your personal data in order to ensure that you enjoy a seamless connection to our website, to enable you to use our website as comfortably as possible, to analyse the security and stability of our systems as well as for administrative purposes and other services.

When you visit our website, Helaba makes use of necessary and optional cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved in your browser. Their purpose is to make our range of services more user-friendly, for example so that you do not have to re-confirm an automatically generated disclaimer more than once. Cookies that we use are so-called “session cookies” because they are automatically reset at the end of your visit to our website. Our cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain any viruses.
Many websites and servers use cookies, a number of which contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a cookie's unique identifier. It consists of a string of characters which websites and servers can use to identify the specific web browser on which the cookie has been saved. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish an individual user’s browser from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. The unique cookie ID enables the specific internet browser to be recognised and identified.
If you do not wish to allow any cookies to be set on your device, you can choose to block them at any time in the privacy settings of your browser or delete cookies that have already been generated. Alternatively, you can revoke your consent to cookies in the cookie settings section.

On our website, we use a so-called re-targeting technology provided by The UK Trade Desk Ltd., 10th Floor, 1 Bartholomew Close, London EC1A 7BL, United Kingdom. With this technology, cookies (so-called third-party cookies) are stored on your device when you visit our website. These cookies are either permanent or temporary cookies that are automatically deleted after a certain period of time.
The use of re-targeting technology enables us to collect data for analytical, marketing and optimisation purposes, which helps us to improve our marketing activities and our website. The data is used by The UK Trade Desk to link advertising contacts and clicks on advertisements to the subsequent use of our website. The following data is collected:
- Advertising identifiers, device identifiers, cookies (storage of and access to information)
- Information about the use of the website and advertisements placed on it (personalisation)
- Information about the use of the website and optimised advertisements placed on it (ad selection, serving, provision and tracking)
You can stop the use of cookies at any time by revoking cookie consent in your browser settings. You can also delete cookies already stored on your device at any time or revoke your consent to their use in the cookies settings section. This will not have any negative consequences for the use or functionality of our website.
Our website uses analytics services exclusively to optimize the provided online information. The data collected (IP address, date or time of the request, content of the page accessed or the browser used, validity of the session token) does not allow any direct conclusions to be drawn about individuals. Helaba's analysis of user data is not aimed at identifying individuals or at profiling, e.g. in order to provide visitors to the website with online advertising.
For this purpose, we use the services of etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany (www.etracker.com) for the analysis of usage data:
Cookieless Tracking:
Cookies are not used at all, as the IP address is anonymized at the earliest possible stage by etracker and login or device IDs are converted into a unique key that is not assigned to a person. etracker does not use the data in any other way, combine it with other data or pass it on to third parties.
Cookie Tracking:
With your consent, cookies are used to enable statistical analysis of the use of this website by its visitors and the display of usage-related content or advertising. You can stop the storage of these cookies at any time by refusing to accept cookies in your browser settings. You can delete the cookies already stored on your device at any time or revoke their use without any negative impact on the use or functions of our website. You can use the cookie settings to make these adjustments.
The data generated is processed and stored exclusively in Germany and is thus subject to strict German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been independently audited and certified in this regard and awarded the ePrivacyseal data protection seal of approval.
More information regarding data protection at etracker can be found here.
Our website uses the services of Myra Security GmbH (DE), Landsberger Str. 187, 80687 Munich. The purpose of the service is for secure encrypted data transmission on the Internet (SSL), to improve worldwide website performance through the Myra Content Delivery Network (CDN) and to improve security and protection against hacker attacks through the Myra Hyperscale Web Application Firewall (WAF). Since we care a lot about your privacy, we've chosen Myra as a German IT security provider, that meets the high GDPR standards reliably, when processing your data. The legal basis for data processing is therefore our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The service is mandatory for the technical security of our website.
More detailed information about GDPR and Myra Security can be found on the GDPR pages of Myra Security.

In addition, you can find contact forms on subpages of the website with which you can contact the appropriate person or department directly. The email address and message fields are required; all other fields are optional.
With sending the contact form you consent to the use of your personal data. The data you have entered will then be transmitted to Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen Girozentrale in an encrypted form, together with the date, time and URL of the website you are using. The data you provide will be used exclusively for processing your contact request and deleted after processing your request or at the latest after expiry of any retention or deletion periods that may apply.
We process your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation.
a. To the extent that you have provided us with your consent to process your personal data (in particular cookies, newsletters and contact forms), we process your data based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
b. Furthermore, we may process your data in order to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). In particular, this is for the purpose of optimising our website. Such processing is carried out after careful consideration of your and our interests, in particular taking into account the type of personal data as well as the purpose and circumstances of processing personal data.
Entities within the bank receive access to your personal data if they require it for processing purposes. Service providers and vicarious agents commissioned by us may also receive your personal data for these purposes. However, we will only transmit your personal data to third parties if there is a legal basis for this pursuant to Article 6(1) GDPR and/or service providers commissioned by us are acting as processors.
Data transfer to entities outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries) only takes place in safe third countries for which an adequacy decision of the European Commission exists.
We delete your personal data as soon as the purpose for which we collected and processed is no longer applicable. Beyond this point in time, we only store your personal data if this is required by law, regulation or other legal provisions. To the extent that deletion of certain personal data is not possible, it is marked with the aim of restricting its future processing.
You have the right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR, the right to rectification pursuant to 16 GDPR, the right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Article 18 GDPR, the right to object pursuant to Article 21 GDPR and the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20 GDPR. With regard to the right of access and the right to erasure, the restrictions pursuant to Sections 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply.
In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG). Since 1 Januar 2024, the competent supervisory authority for Helaba is:

During your visit to our website, we neither use any profiling techniques nor any fully automated decision-making processes
Helaba maintains social media accounts on Twitter, Instagram, Xing, LinkedIn and YouTube. The relevant pages can be accessed via a link on our website. Helaba does not use any social media plug-ins for this purpose so that any personal data can only be exchanged with the respective social media platforms after clicking on the link and with your explicit consent.
In the following, we inform you about the processing of personal data when using the social media presences (in German):
As part of the execution of the credit transfer, we transmit the data contained in the credit transfer (credit transfer data) directly or with the involvement of intermediaries to the payee's payment service provider. In connection with the transfer, service providers involved in the execution of the order may also carry out the necessary checks on the transfer data (in particular to identify and prevent payment fraud). The payee's payment service provider may provide the payee with all or part of the credit transfer data, including the payer's IBAN.
In the case of cross-border transfers and urgent domestic transfers, the transfer data may also be processed under joint responsibility with the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) messaging system based in Belgium and forwarded to the payee's payment service provider. For reasons of system security, SWIFT temporarily stores the transfer data in its data centers in the European Union, Switzerland and the USA. Further information and the main contents of the joint responsibility agreement with SWIFT can be found in the data protection information on the SWIFT transaction processing service.
