Anonymisation Of Data

In some circumstances we will anonymise your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you. By way of example, anonymisation techniques may include removing direct identifiers from a dataset or replacing point coordinates in geo-referenced data with non-disclosing features or variables, or other recognised techniques appropriate to the data in question.

2) How We Share Your Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to third parties where necessary for the following reasons:

3) How Long We Keep Your Personal Information

Generally, we will retain your personal information for as long as our services are contracted for. Where users have deactivated their accounts, we will retain data for no longer than 12 months before deleting same, unless required to retain it longer for regulatory or compliance reasons.

We will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, for example, for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements.

The criteria used to determine our retention periods are set out in our retention policy and will vary depending on such factors as (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you and provide goods or services to you (for example, for as long as you have an account with us); (ii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep records of transactions for a certain period of time before we can delete them); or (iii) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to enforcement of our contractual terms, applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

Retention Periods Based on Legal Obligations
