Complying with our obligations

We may process your personal information to, for example, carry out fraud prevention checks or comply with other legal or regulatory requirements, where this is explicitly required by law.

How and when we Share Your Personal Information

We may share your personal information with third parties under the following circumstances:

These measures are aimed at providing on-going integrity and confidentiality for your personal information. We evaluate and update these measures on a regular basis.

However, no information system can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

We retain your personal information for as long as we have a relationship with you. When deciding how long to keep your personal information after our relationship with you has ended, we consider our legal obligations e.g. UK tax legislation requires us to hold information for a minimum of 6 years.
