We may be legally required to provide your information to law enforcement agencies, regulators, courts and third party litigants in connection with proceedings or investigations anywhere in the world. Where permitted, we will direct any such request to you or notify you before responding unless to do so would prejudice the prevention or detection of a crime.

When data is shared it is always done in a secure manner and we ensure that it is only used for the purpose it was collected for and do not allow third parties to abuse their agreements with us.

We may transfer your personal information to a third party without your consent if there is an alternative legal ground, for example, it is in our legitimate interest, or if there is a contractual obligation to do so.

Your personally identifiable information is kept secure in electronic format.

We keep your information only as long as is necessary for the purpose for which we obtained it and any other permitted linked purposes. If information is used for two purposes we will retain it until the purpose with the longest period expires. We will stop using it for the purpose with a shorter period once that period expires. We will then dispose your information by permanently deleting from our files.

We restrict access to your information to only those persons who need to use it for the relevant purpose.

We will always take appropriate technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
