BetClic closure of account and personal data

I have just requested that Betclic close my account and remove my data from their systems.
I received a response that my account is now closed but they can not remove my data and will keep it in their system.
My question is how long are they allowed to keep my information on their systems for?

any particular reason why you wanted them to close your account? why not just leave it lie dormant?helpful tips
it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
there - 'in or at that place'
their - 'owned by them'
they're - 'they are'

As it is a financial organisation I believe 6 years is normal as per FSA rules"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."

If you are worried about them passing this info on then ask that they suppress your data.0
