​
​When you provide your information to us, we will only use the information for the purposes for which it is provided, for any compatible purposes, and to fulfil our legal or regulatory obligations, unless you have agreed for your data to be used for other purposes.
​
​We will only retain the data you provide to us through our website for a maximum of 6 months or as long as required by applicable laws or as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with any consents provided. We will delete personal data at the end of this period unless we wish to use it for statistical purposes, in which case we will anonymise it, such that you could never be re-identified with it.

If you believe we are not respecting your rights, you are entitled to make a complaint to a relevant supervisory authority.
The legal basis on which we hold and use your data will vary depending on the activity involved. In some cases, we might hold the data because it is needed to fulfil a contract or meet our legal obligations (i.e. a donation), in others because it is in our legitimate interest to do so, and in others, because you have consented to this use. We note that the legal basis on which we process your data will influence your specific rights.
