All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS/SSL protocols. Sensitive stored data is encrypted at rest.
Strict role-based access controls ensure that personal data is accessible only to authorised personnel who require it for legitimate operational purposes.

Data is regularly backed up to secure, geographically redundant locations to ensure continuity and recovery in the event of a system failure or incident.

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Our general retention principles are:
When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how it is used and who it is shared with.
If any personal data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it without undue delay.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. This right may be limited where we have legal obligations to retain records.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. You may also object to other processing based on our legitimate interests.
Where processing is based on your consent or a contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
You have the right to request restriction of processing in certain circumstances — for example, while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.
