Personal data relates to a living individual who can be identified from that data. Identification can be by the information alone or in conjunction with any other information in the data controllers’ possession or likely to come into such possession. The processing of personal data is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the ‘GDPR’).

Who are we?

We are the British Argentine Chamber of Commerce (the ‘BACC’) and we are the data controller and the data processor. This means that we decide how your personal data is processed, and for what purposes, and process your data. Our registered offices are located at 65 Brook Street, London W1K 4AH. BACC is registered in England No. 03079817.

How do we process your personal data?

BACC complies with its obligations under the GDPR by keeping personal data up to date, by storing and destroying it securely; by not collecting or retaining excessive amounts of data; by protecting personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure and by ensuring that appropriate technical measures are in place to protect personal data.

We may use your personal data for the following purposes:

- To administer membership and sponsorship records;

- To maintain our own accounts and records;

- To send you marketing material and updates about BACC.

What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?

Under Article 6 (1a) of the GDPR, the legal basis that BACC employs for processing your personal data is that you, the ‘Data Subject’ have given us your consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes, as described in this Data Privacy Notice.

Sharing your personal data

Your personal data will be treated as being strictly confidential, and will never be shared without your consent.

All the personal data that we hold about you will be processed by our staff in the United Kingdom, and no third parties will have access to your personal data without your consent, or unless there is a legal obligation for us to provide them with this information. Please be aware however that your personal data may be stored on a cloud-based system whose servers are located within the European Union.

We may share your personal data with the Embassy of the Republic of Argentina in London in order to invite you to functions hosted by the Embassy. We will ask your permission to share your personal data with the Embassy ahead of each event.

How long do we keep your personal data for?

We will keep your personal data securely for a maximum of 10 years, after which time it will be destroyed securely if it is no longer needed for the lawful purposes for which it was obtained. If you consent to receiving marketing from us, any information we use for this purpose will be held by us until such time as you notify us that you no longer wish to receive marketing information from us. Should you cease to be a Member of BACC, we shall destroy any personal data that we hold about you securely.
