How long do we keep your Personal Information?

Whenever we collect or process your personal data, we’ll only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. At the end of that retention period, your data will either be deleted completely or anonymised, for example by aggregation with other data so that it can be used in a non-identifiable way for statistical analysis and business planning. We’ll keep the personal data you give us for five years so we can comply with our legal and contractual obligations.
