HMRC (UK Tax Office) requires us to keep transactional information for 6 years.

Upon request we delete accounts but if they have transactional data this is still held in accordance with our legal requirements.

Transactional data surely does not have to include full card and address details though. That would contradict EU directives on sensitive data and privacy.

We do not keep any card data.

We have to keep address details to prove we have charged VAT correctly.
