I have contracts in place with our third parties, which are designed to help safeguard your personal information. This means that they cannot do anything with your personal information unless I have instructed them to do it. They will also not share your personal information with any organisation apart from me. They also commit to protect the data they hold on my behalf and to retain it for the period we instruct. The categories of third parties I may share personal information with are as follows:

When I have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, I will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then I will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

I have implemented appropriate and reasonable technical and organisational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information I process.
