3. Storing personal information

This Section 3 sets out our data storage policies and procedure, which are designed to help ensure that we comply with our legal obligations in relation to the retention and deletion of personal information.

Personal information that we process for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3, we will retain documents (including electronic documents) containing personal data:

(a)   to the extent that we are required to do so by law;

(b)   if we believe that the documents may be relevant to any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings; and

(c)   in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (including providing information to others for the purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk).

If you submit a contact form on our website some personal information will be stored within the website’s database. This is currently the only occasion where personal data will be stored on our website. This data is currently stored in an identifiable fashion; a limitation of the content managements system that this website is built on (WordPress). In the future, we aim to change the storage of this data to a pseudonymous fashion meaning that the data would require additional processing using a separately stored ‘key’ before it could be used to identify an individual.
