It is our policy to only store your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for us to comply with our legal obligation and for our legitimate business interests.

It is our policy to hold personal data on our system for 7 years. After 7 years without contact we review the data and either erase it or reconfirm reasons for holding it. However this does not apply if we have been in recent contact.
