WHERE WE STORE PERSONAL DATA

The transfer, storage and processing of personal data collected through this website is secured by means of current, usual technical measures.

DATA RETENTION

Personal data is stored for varying lengths depending on the nature and purpose for which it was collected. We store personal data in line with any applicable statutory minimum periods, and then review it periodically (usually annually) to ensure it is still necessary to be retained for the purpose for which it was collected.
