We are required by law to retain most customer data for a specified period of time. The following retention periods apply, beginning after an Atlantic Money account is closed:
| Where you live | Data retention period |
| European Economic Area | 10 years |
| United Kingdom | 5 years |
Please note that we may be legally required to keep information for longer.
In order to decide how long to keep other types and categories of data, we consider why we hold it, how sensitive it is, how long the law says we are required to keep it for, and what the risks of keeping it are.
