How we secure your data
We are committed to protecting your data and personal information.

We keep personal information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable tax, accounting, or legal requirements).
If we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either anonymize or delete it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Your ability to access and correct your information may be temporarily limited where access and correction could:
- Inhibit our ability to investigate, make or defend legal claims;
- Inhibit our ability to comply with a legal obligation;
- Result in disclosure of personal information about a third party; or
- Result in breach of a contract or disclosure of trade secrets or other proprietary business information belonging to us or a third party.
