Solutions).

We will only process your personal information as necessary so that we can pursue the purposes described above and where we have a legal basis for such processing.

Where our lawful basis for processing is that such processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, we will only process your personal information where we have concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a way that would override our legitimate interest.

  • In exceptional circumstances: to competent regulatory, prosecuting and other governmental agencies, or litigation counterparties, in any country or territory, or where we are required by law to disclose.

How long do we keep your personal information?

We will delete your personal information when we no longer need such personal information, for instance where:

  • It is no longer necessary for us to retain your personal information to fulfil the purposes for which we had collected it
  • We believe that your personal information that we hold is inaccurate or in certain cases where you have informed us that you no longer consent to our processing of your personal information.
