Contractual necessity: Where processing is required to provide services under a contract or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract.

We may also disclose information where required by law or where necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

We take reasonable and proportionate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
These measures are reviewed as appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information being processed.
However, no method of electronic communication or data storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting contractual, legal, regulatory and legitimate business requirements.
Retention periods will depend on the nature of the information, the services provided and any applicable legal obligations.
