credit. Our firm’s lawful basis for processing your data is done so under a

YOUR

Subject Access Request, you should;
Put
your request in writing; either by Email or by letter.

DATA
RETENTION
We
will only process your data providing you have given your consent for us to do
so. Under the provisions of the DPA, our firm’s lawful basis for personal
processing data is based on a Legitimate
Interest.
The
legitimate interest relates to a legal requirement for the firm to hold your
data and financial information on record for up to a total of six years. This
six-year period satisfies the requirement of our regulator, The Financial
Conduct Authority and is also in line with other financial industry retention
periods.
INTERNATIONAL
TRANSFERS
In the normal course of business, there may be a need for Butchers Hook or any other firm associated with the business, usually when processing
an application for credit, personal data would have to be transferred outside
of the European Economic Area (EEA) where those countries do not typically have
the same protections and safeguards in place for the protection of personal
data to those countries within the EEA.
Butchers Hook deal with some large, international corporations where data is likely to
be transferred in this way. Assurances and processes will always be put in
place and considered before any international transfer to a non-EEA country are
undertaken to ensure the protection and security of the personal data.
