If you would like to exercise any of those rights, please:
Except for key codes (which we delete no later than two weeks from confirmation of your order) we will keep this information in accordance with a data retention schedule designed to ensure that we only retain your data for as long as necessary for the purposes described in the table above.
We have appropriate security measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way.

Subject to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, we will retain personal data in accordance with applicable laws.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the type of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.
Where we have no legal basis for continuing to process your personal data, we shall either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
For the avoidance of doubt, we may use anonymous data, such as usage data for research or statistical purposes indefinitely without further notice to you.
We hope that we can resolve any query or concern you raise about our use of your information.
