How Long We Retain Your Personal Data:
We will not keep your personal data for longer than we need it for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by law.

We will retain certain of your personal data for only as long as is reasonably necessary taking into consideration factors such as:
We have no active process in place in terms of removing, disposing or archiving marketing data. We should consider this, and be up front that we retain for up to 4 years, depending on the level of customer engagement with services provided

How We Protect Your Personal Data:
We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal data. For as long as we do store your personal data, we will follow generally accepted industry standards and maintain reasonable safeguards to attempt to ensure the security, integrity, and privacy of the information you have provided.

Notwithstanding our efforts to keep your personal data secure, no system can be 100% reliable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any personal data you provide through the Channels. In addition, you are responsible for maintaining the strength and confidentiality of your login credentials. We recommend you keep them safe and your devices protected from unauthorised access.
We will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable if we have reason to believe that there has been a personal data breach by us (or your personal data held by us) which could adversely affect your rights and freedoms.

You have the right to unsubscribe from marketing and other promotional materials/emails at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the email, opting out using the link in the SMS or letting a member of our team know.
