Privacy policy

How HM Government of Gibraltar handles your personal data on this service.

Who we are

This website is operated by HM Government of Gibraltar. The Government of Gibraltar is the data controller for personal information collected through this site.

What information we collect

This is an information-only website. It explains Gibraltar’s residency rules and links you to the online application — it does not ask for or collect any personal information about you.

  • The “check if you can apply” tool runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are not sent to us and are not stored anywhere.
  • We do not use any cookies, analytics or tracking. See our cookies page.

Like any website, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information — such as your IP address and the pages requested — in server logs, to keep the service secure and running. This information is not used to identify you and we do not combine it with anything else.

When you apply online

When you choose to apply, you leave this website for a separate online application service, which is hosted on a different platform. Any personal information you enter there is handled by that service and by the government departments processing your application, under their own privacy terms — not by this website.

Your rights

Under data protection law you have the right to access, correct or delete personal information held about you, and to object to how it is used.

Because this information website does not collect or hold any personal information, there is nothing here to access, correct or delete. If you have applied for residency and want to exercise these rights in relation to your application, contact the relevant department — see Contact.

This website links to other government platforms and external sites (for example, the online application). This privacy policy applies only to this website. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be published on this page. This policy was last reviewed in July 2026.
