6. Who we share information with

We may share personal information only where necessary with:

• website hosting, security, email, customer-relationship-management and form-processing service providers acting on our instructions;
• professional advisers such as accountants, lawyers and insurers;
• government bodies, regulators, courts or law-enforcement authorities where required by law or necessary to protect legal rights; and

We do not sell personal information.

8. How long we keep information

• Registration and investor-interest information is normally kept for up to 24 months after our last meaningful contact, unless you withdraw consent sooner or a longer period is needed for an active relationship.
• General correspondence is normally kept for up to 24 months. Records relevant to contracts, tax, legal obligations or legal claims may be kept for up to six years or longer where law requires.
• Routine web-server logs are normally kept for up to 30 days, unless they are required for a security investigation or legal purpose.
• Suppression records may be kept for as long as needed to ensure that we do not send marketing to someone who has opted out.

We securely delete or anonymise information when it is no longer needed.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. No internet service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please use care when sending information online.

We do not use the information described in this notice to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
