We keep your personal information for as long as is necessary based on the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of that data, the purposes for which we process it, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, as well as legal, taxation, accounting and industry requirements and guidelines.
