Where we don’t need to keep all of your information in full, we will obfuscate or aggregate it, for example, web activity logs and survey responses. This is to ensure that we do
not retain your information for any longer than is necessary.
It is sometimes necessary for us to keep your personal information for longer periods of time, for example: If there is a statutory requirement to retain it;
If we require the information for legal reasons or there is a legitimate business need for us to retain it; To ensure we do not contact you if you have asked us not to.
How we keep your personal information secure
We have appropriate technical and administrative security measures in place to help ensure that our customers’ information is protected against unauthorised or accidental access,
use, alteration, or loss. We operate a global business, so your (relevant for EU based businesses) personal information may be processed and stored outside the European Economic
Area (EEA). For example, our global customer services team need to access information about you in order to respond to your queries. We put in place safeguards, such as EU standard
contractual clauses, to protect information that is transferred in this way. Your rights
