The Bank of Cape Verde published a Privacy Management and Personal Data Protection Policy to explain how it uses and protects personal data and to increase transparency for interested parties. The Bank positions personal data protection as a fundamental responsibility and, as data controller, states it will comply with obligations under the personal data protection law for natural persons. It also states it processes only the personal data that is strictly necessary, appropriate, and relevant to carrying out its legally assigned public interest functions, acting under public authority powers and to meet legal obligations.
