PERSONAL INFORMATION TRANSFER

Whenever we transfer your personal data out of the country in which you initially provided the information, we will protect that Personal Data as described in this Online Privacy Notice.

HOW LONG WILL YOU USE MY PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR?

We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
