We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed.

They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
8. Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
If you engage us to provide our services to you as a client we shall retain your personal data for the time you are our client and for 3 years afterwards. If you are not a client, we shall retain your data for 2 years following your last engagement with us. By law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including Contact and Identity Data) for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘Request erasure’ below for further information.
