We will keep personal information only for as long as we need it to maintain our relationship with you, provide you with the services or information you requested, to comply with the law, and to ensure we do not communicate with individuals that asked us not to (e.g. by keeping a “do not contact me” list).

When we no longer need the information, we will dispose of it securely.

We may keep anonymised data for analytical purposes.
