In the context of its business relationships with customers and the legal and contractual obligations arising therefrom, BCT processes personal data received in principle directly from its customers, in particular:

  • identification and contact data, such as surname, first name, date of birth, telephone number and address;

As part of its legal obligations, BCT may also in certain cases collect personal data from third parties, for example by accessing public databases (e.g. Internet search engines) or paid databases (e.g. press subscriptions).

BCT does not collect any personal data via its website.

  • Third-party data

If a client provides BCT with personal data of third parties, the client must ensure that the concerned party has been informed of this data protection policy.

  • Purpose of treatment

BCT processes the personal data of its customers in particular to provide the services requested, to meet its legal obligations, as well as in the case of overriding legitimate interests (e.g. exercising a right).

  • Disclosure to third parties

Personal data is transferred to third parties when this is necessary to perform the services requested, in particular for the execution of transactions (e.g. communication to a bank or securities broker). In addition, BCT reserves the right to subcontract the processing of personal data to third parties who are contractually bound to confidentiality, such as IT or compliance services.

BCT may need to communicate personal data abroad in order to perform its services, in particular if the custodian bank of the customer’s assets is located abroad or if this is required by applicable law or regulation. BCT undertakes to ensure that any transfer abroad complies with the applicable provisions.

Personal data is eliminated when it is no longer reasonably necessary to render the services, if BCT is not required to retain it by its legal obligations, and unless BCT has an overriding private interest in retaining the data concerned.

  • Rights of concerned parties

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to access their personal data, to have it rectified, to prohibit or limit its processing, to request its deletion and in certain cases to request that it be handed over to them or passed on to a third party.

  • Data security

BCT takes appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of personal data, in compliance with applicable law.
