Some Clients will prescribe specific (shorter) retention periods for specific types of data we hold about their customers. If you would like details of any retention periods which may apply to you, please contact us via our data privacy contact form.
When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will delete or anonymise it.
In the ordinary course, we will only ever share your data with our Client or, on a confidential basis, with our own carefully selected sub-processors who are directly involved in delivering our services.
