In addition, with respect to customers or other users who have contractual relationships with us, we will use any such user data generated in connection with such relationships in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements governing those relationships.

How We Secure Your Personal Information

We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure.

How Long We Retain Your Personal Information

We retain Personal Information we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate and lawful business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate and lawful business need to process your Personal Information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

For purposes of the website, we only collect and retain your Personal Information for purposes of responding to your query for further information on our products or services. For other purposes subject to this Notice where we have collected data in the course of an ongoing relationship with you, we only collect and retain your Personal Information and other data we have collected for as long as the ongoing relationship remains active.
