Lancashire Police go Hi Tech.

Heads up guys, a rumour is circulating that Lancs Firearms Licensing have entered the 21st century and now take card payments over the phone!
Saves writing cheques, getting postal orders (WHOOOOOOO), or trading grain and pelts.

I hope in an automated manner otherwise they are in breach of GDPR.

How? GDPR allows data collection for valid business needs, to store it for the duration as per the need and securely destroy it once no longer needed. If they enter the card data onto card machines directly without any storage or call recording, I don't see any problem.

Hi jon2 I'm sure it will still be ok if you go to the post office and get your Postal Order, then mail it to HQ and expect your variation back within 3 months.

If the agent is privy to your card data it’s not compliant.

Hi Jon again, you may have some sort of point here bud that the most of of us do not understand.
You do not have to give the data if you do not want to, and can pay by other methods from what I am led to believe.
I did however successfully trade two squirrels and my neighbours cat for a variation. (Credit well spent!).
If you can point at a problem here bud I will try my limited best to assist!

Should be fine if its a legitimate busines process supported by a sub processor agreement and a valid privacy impact assessment.

Lockdown reading, there's only so much you can read about reloading and butchery before you expect a knock on the door

Just someone who enjoys reading. Ayway hope more police forces follows through and wouldn't mind a payment portal where you can pay using the credit card and include the reference number provided into your variation/ application. Makes life easier.

Lancs police have always been fast with any dealings I've ever had with them

I always pay by BACS payment. We’re light years ahead in Scotland.
