Legal entities comprising the Butterfield Group are integrated in a group structure, and a number of essential functions are provided at the Group level to some or all of our businesses. Accordingly your personal information will likely be shared with Butterfield entities located in jurisdictions other than where you have your banking and financial services relationships with us (your “home jurisdiction”). For customers in Europe, note that this may be outside the European Economic Area.
Additionally, as a matter of course, Butterfield retains a number of third party service providers in order to promote the efficient operation of our businesses. Again, this may result in your personal information being transferred outside your home jurisdiction.
Whether your data is held in your home jurisdiction, within the Butterfield Group or transferred to third parties, you can be assured that your privacy rights will be maintained. All companies within the Butterfield Group are bound by our privacy policy which is set at the very highest standard. All third parties we deal with are contractually obliged to provide similar protections.
We keep your information only for as long as we need it, subject to the minimum time periods for data retention specified under the laws of the jurisdictions in which we operate.
