How and why we use your personal data

Under data protection law, we can only use your personal data if we have a proper reason, eg:

  • where you have given consent;
  • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations;
  • for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract; or
  • for our legitimate interests or those of a third party.

A legitimate interest is when we have a business or commercial reason to use your personal data, so long as this is not overridden by your own rights and interests. We will carry out an assessment when relying on legitimate interests, to balance our interests against your own.

We may also in an emergency process your information to protect your vital interests.

Where your personal data is held

Personal data may be held at our offices and those of our third party agencies, service providers, representatives and agents as described above (see above: ‘Who we share your personal data with’).

Some of these third parties may be based outside Gibraltar. For more information, including on how we safeguard your personal data when this happens, see below: ‘Transferring your personal data out of Gibraltar’.

How long your personal data will be kept

We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need it for the purpose for which it is used. With the exception of CCTV which we keep for 21 days, typically we keep personal data for a period of 7 years after your relationship with us ends.

In some cases you can ask us to take down your information. For more information about this see “Your Rights”.

Transferring your personal data out of Gibraltar 

It is sometimes necessary for us to transfer your personal data to countries outside Gibraltar. In those cases we will comply with applicable UK laws designed to ensure the privacy of your personal data.

Under data protection laws, we can only transfer your personal data to a country outside  Gibraltar where:

  • the UK government has decided the particular country ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data (known as an ‘adequacy regulation’) further to Article 45 of the UK GDPR. 
  • here are appropriate safeguards in place, together with enforceable rights and effective legal remedies for you; or
  • a specific exception applies under relevant data protection law.

Where we transfer your personal data outside Gibraltar, we do so on the basis of an adequacy regulation or (where this is not available) we use legally-approved standard data protection clauses recognised or issued further to Article 46(2) of the Gibraltar GDPR. In the event we cannot or choose not to continue to rely on either of those mechanisms at any time, we will not transfer your personal data outside Gibraltar unless we can do so on the basis of an alternative mechanism or exception provided by Gibraltar data protection law and reflected in an update to this policy.

Any changes to the destinations to which we send personal data or in the transfer mechanisms we rely on to transfer personal data internationally will be notified to you in accordance with the section on ‘Changes to this privacy policy’ below.
