Why do we need this information?
Your information is being collected to allow the ºúÌÒÅ®Éñ and Bute Licensing Board to administer the process of applying for licences under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005.
We need to know the personal data requested on the application form in order to provide this service to you. If you do not provide this information then we will be unable to process your request for a licence. We will not collect any personal data from you that isn’t needed for this purpose.

What will we do with your information?
We will use your information to process your application for a licence. This will involve sharing your information with Police Scotland, and where the type of licence applied for is a premises licence, notice of your application (including a copy of it) will be given to people with a notifiable interest in the land neighbouring the premises, any community council for the area where the premises is situated and the relevant Council area office for the area where the premises is situated.
Applications will be considered at meetings of the ºúÌÒÅ®Éñ and Bute Licensing Board, which are open to the public. We are also required to publish information in licensing registers, which will include the licence holder and premises manager’s name, and details about the premises.
You should also be aware that your data will be stored on servers located within the United Kingdom. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is kept secure and more information on how we do this can be provided by contacting the Data Protection Officer (contact details can be found above).

We will keep your information for the length of time specified within our document retention schedules, and after this period it will be destroyed under secure arrangements. All documentation relating to licences under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 will be kept for a maximum of 5 years from the date the licence expires, is surrendered or revoked. More information on our retention policy and procedure can be obtained from the Data Protection Officer if required.
