Only use your information for the reason it was collected.
-
Tell you what we are going to do with your information.

Keep the information secure.

Not keep it longer than necessary.

Not send it to countries with less rigorous data protection laws without your permission.
-
Allow you to request a copy of the information we hold on you.
-
Give you the opportunity to amend information that is incorrect.
-
Allow you to request the deletion of personal data (where this does not contravene other applicable legislation).
