We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.

How long we hold your personal data for

We will only hold your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) in order to develop our business methods and strategy or for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

If we have a contractual relationship with you, we will retain your personal data for the duration of that relationship. Typically, we will minimise the personal data we hold about you so far as possible and only retain that information which cannot be deleted without compromising the purpose for which we collected the personal data or our other legal obligations.

In some circumstances, we may be entitled to retain your data for a longer period where we are under a legal or regulatory obligation to do so, for example in the event of a legal dispute or to comply with HM Revenue & Custom require mentsor anti-money laundering regulations. We will also need to keep a record of your contact details if you have opted-out of receiving marketing communications from us to ensure that we do not send these to you in future.

We shall not have any liability whatsoever to you for the deletion of personal data in accordance with our data retention policy.
