Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed to meet the purposes for which it was collected. This includes fulfilling contracts, meeting legal, accounting, regulatory, and reporting obligations, and resolving disputes.
When setting retention periods, we consider:
-
the type and sensitivity of the data;
-
the potential risks of unauthorised access or disclosure;
-
the reasons we process the data and whether those purposes can be met in another way; and
-
legal and regulatory requirements that apply.
Once data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or anonymised.
Consequences of not providing data
If you do not provide required data we may be unable to perform a contract, provide a service, verify identity, complete a purchase, or comply with a legal obligation. We will notify you if this applies.
