Data retention

We will usually store the personal information we collect about you for no longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Notice, and in accordance with our business purpose and applicable law. For example, the criteria used to determine the period for which personal information about you will be retained varies depending on the business purpose under which we process the personal information:

  • Contract. Where we are processing personal information is based on contract, we generally will retain your personal information for the duration of the contract plus some additional limited period of time that is necessary to comply with law or that represents the statute of limitations for legal claims that could arise from our contractual relationship.
  • Business Purpose. Where we are processing personal information based on our business purpose, we generally will retain such information for a reasonable period of time based on the particular interest, taking into account your fundamental interests and your rights.
  • Consent. Where we are processing personal information based on your consent, we generally will retain your personal information until you withdraw your consent, or otherwise for the period of time necessary to fulfil the underlying agreement with you or provide you with the applicable service for which we process that Personal Information.
  • Legal Obligation. Where we are processing personal information based on a legal obligation, we generally will retain your personal information for the period of time necessary to fulfil the legal obligation.
  • Legal Claim. We may need to apply a “legal hold” that retains information beyond our typical retention period where we face threat of legal claim or intent to establish a claim. In that case, we will retain the information until the hold is removed, which typically means the claim or threat of claim has been resolved.

In all cases, in addition to the purposes, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Information, as well as the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Information.
