Like many businesses we store information using cloud-based technologies, which means that your information may be stored on computers that are not physically located on our premises. Where they are not, e.g. Google Cloud, we ensure through the use of contracts and security reviews that a similar degree of legal and physical protection is given to your information. We retain your information only for so long as is:

  • necessary to serve the purposes for which we collected it e.g. for managing and developing the ongoing business relationship between us; or
  • required by law or regulation, e.g. for tax and accounting purposes
