How we protect your Personal Data

We have implemented technical and organisational security measures to safeguard the Personal Data in our custody and control.

While we endeavour to protect our systems, sites, operations and information against unauthorised access, use, modification and disclosure, due to the inherent nature of the Internet as an open global communications vehicle and other risk factors, we cannot guarantee that any information, during transmission or while stored on our systems, will be absolutely safe from intrusion by others, such as hackers.

The period for which we retain Personal Data will vary depending on what purpose it has been collected for, as well as the requirements of any applicable law or regulation. We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as necessary for the purpose for which that data was collected and to the extent permitted by applicable law. When we no longer need to use Personal Data, we will remove it from our systems and records and/or take steps to anonymise it so that you can no longer be identified from it.

Children's privacy
