We keep your personal data for no longer than is necessary for the purpose for which the information is collected and to manage our relationship with you. Where personal data is kept, that period will be determined based on applicable local law. For further information, please contact us as set out above.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you), or receive anonymised personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without giving further notice to you.

Note the rights are only applicable to data we process as Controller (as set out above in ‘What personal data do you collect from me and use’).

You may contact us using the contact information above if you would like more detailed information about what personal data we have collected from you, including the categories of personal data processed, the purposes of the processing and the third-parties to whom that data is transferred.  You may also request a copy of your data. Note that we do have to consider the interests of others, and certain other legal obligations and restrictions, so this is not an absolute right.

Do you securely store my personal data?

We apply strict security standards, controls, and processes to protect your personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or accidental deletion.  These include restricting who can have access to your personal data and protecting your data with security tools appropriate to the type of information e.g. encryption software.  We also require that our third-party Processors who handle your personal data do the same.

Do you use Cookies?
