Legal obligation – where we need to process information to comply with a legal requirement.

We will keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including providing our services, maintaining appropriate business records and meeting any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.
Different types of information may be kept for different periods depending on why we hold it.
