How long do you keep my information for and where is it stored?

The length of time that we store your information may vary depending upon the type of information it is, the reasons that we need to use it or other factors, like legal requirements. For example, we are required by law to keep declarations and store all records of transactions for at least six years in case of an audit. We regularly review the personal information that we store, including our paper records, so that we only store it for as long as we need to. 

We have security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of personal data. For example, our consultants are only authorised to see and use the personal data they need to see to do their jobs and we use secure server software (SSL) to encrypt personal information you input before it is sent to us. While we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur while it is under our control, we use our best efforts to try to prevent this.
