Where do we store your data?
Safeguarding the privacy of your information is important to us, whether you interact with us personally, by phone, by mail, over the internet or any other electronic medium.
We hold personal data in secure computer storage facilities and take steps to protect the personal data we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
The internet is an open medium and we cannot guarantee that any information you send to us by email or via our sites will not be intercepted or tampered with; any transmission is at your own risk. To help protect your personal data and minimise the risk of it being intercepted by unauthorised third parties our secure servers employ Secure Socket Layer v3 (SSL) or Transport Layer Security v1 (TLS) encryption when you submit information to us through our sites. This security is signified by the “https” and the padlock on the URL bar. Some older browsers do not allow the use of current SSL technology and we therefore recommend that you use an up-to-date browser. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
How long do we store your data?
We will keep your personal data for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was obtained from the date of collection or, where you enter into a contractual arrangement with us, following the end of the performance of our contract. This may be up to 6 years in the case of data which falls under prevailing financial regulations.

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with the GDPR or other relevant laws.
We will not transfer data outside the EEA without first ensuring that one of the appropriate safeguards under Article 46 GDPR is present. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with the GDPR or other relevant laws.
