We will not store personal data longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data is processed. We will inform you of the period for which we will store your personal data but, if this is not possible, we will instead inform you of the criteria used to determine that period. We will ensure appropriate security of all personal data, including ensuring that all personal data is protected against unauthorised or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage, by implementing and using appropriate technical and organisational measures.

The provision of your personal data will generally be voluntary where there is no statutory obligation to provide your personal data. Generally, we do not contractually require the provision of your personal data. However, please note that in any event, the provision of your personal data may be necessary and not providing such personal data might mean that you are not able to receive or use our services (or part thereof) or that you are disqualified from receiving certain benefits.
