need to know your personal data, and we use appropriate password protection and appropriate strong encryption electronic measures within our electronic data management systems. However, unfortunately, because of the nature of electronic storage, we cannot promise that
your personal data or any other data you provide to us will always remain secure. If there is a security breach, we will do all that we can as soon as we can to stop the breach and minimise the loss of any data.

8. Marketing

We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee if your request in relation to your rights is manifestly unfounded or excessive. If you have any complaints in relation to this Privacy Policy or otherwise in relation to our processing of your personal data, please tell us. We shall review and investigate your complaint and try to get back to you within a reasonable time. You can also contact the
Information Commissioner, see http://www.ico.org.uk or if you are based outside of the United Kingdom, please contact your local regulatory authority

10. Retention of personal data

Where we have no legal basis for continuing to process your personal data, we shall either delete or anonymise 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.
