How long do we keep your Personal Data?
We only keep your Personal Data for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting or other legal requirements). When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, or the ground on which we were relying to process your Personal Data no longer applies, we will either delete or anonymize your Personal Data.
