Basis for processing
Where required by applicable law, personal information may be processed because it is necessary to provide a requested service, perform or prepare a contract, comply with legal obligations, protect legitimate operational interests, protect vital or security interests, or because you have provided valid consent.

Data retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including service delivery, security, dispute resolution, legal compliance, audit and record-keeping requirements.
Information security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
