Cookies
We utilise cookies and similar tracking technologies, such as web beacons and pixels, to collect and store information. Details regarding the specific usage of these technologies and your options to reject certain cookies are outlined in our Cookie Policy.
Other tracking technologies
In addition to cookies, we may also employ web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies on our Site. These technologies help us customise the Site and enhance your experience. A web beacon or pixel tag is a small object or image embedded in a web page or email. They enable us to track the number of users who have visited specific pages, viewed emails, and gather statistical data. The information collected by web beacons and pixel tags is limited and may include a cookie number, the time and date of page or email views, and a description of the page or email where they are located. It is important to note that web beacons and pixel tags cannot be declined individually. However, you can manage their use by controlling the cookies that interact with them.

Please be aware that the Sites may display advertisements from third parties that are not affiliated with us. These advertisements may direct you to other websites, online services, or mobile applications. It's important to note that we cannot guarantee the safety and privacy of any information you provide to these third parties. The collection and handling of data by third parties are not governed by this privacy policy.
We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, and security policies of any third parties, including websites, services, or applications that may be linked to or from the Sites. We recommend reviewing the policies of these third parties and contacting them directly to address any inquiries or concerns you may have.
How long do we keep your information?
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The retention period may vary depending on the specific purposes for which the information was collected. However, no purpose in this policy will require us to retain your personal information for longer than one year after your account has been terminated.
Once we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will take steps to either delete or anonymize it. In cases where deletion or anonymization is not immediately possible, such as when the information is stored in backup archives, we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion becomes feasible.
Please note that certain legal obligations, such as tax, accounting, or other regulatory requirements, may necessitate the retention of your personal information for a longer period.
How do we keep your information safe?
We are committed to safeguarding your personal information and have implemented a combination of organisational and technical security measures to protect it. These measures are designed to prevent unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of the personal information we process. We regularly review and update our security practices to ensure the ongoing protection of your information.
However, it's important to note that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. Any transmission of personal information to or from our Sites is done at your own risk. We recommend accessing our services only from a secure environment and taking appropriate precautions to protect your personal information.
