We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice unless a more extended retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). No purpose in this notice will need us to keep your personal information for longer than the period users have an account with us.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymise such data or, if this is impossible (for example, because your data is in backup archives).

SECURING YOUR INFORMATION
In Short: We aim to protect your personal information through organisational and technical security measures.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed 100% secure. So we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorised third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, the transmission of personal information to and from our website is at your own risk. You should only access the website within a secure environment.

This feature or setting can activate your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. The DNT signals were not recognised and implemented using a uniform technology standard. As such, we do not currently respond to DNT browser signals or any other mechanism that automatically communicates your choice. If a standard for online tracking is adopted that we must follow in the future, we will inform you about that practice in a revised version of this privacy notice.
