Security
Your data travels over a secure, encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Only those who need access have it, and appropriate technical and organisational measures guard against loss, alteration or unauthorised disclosure.
Access data
On each visit, the server keeps a technical record such as your IP address, the date and time, the page requested and your browser type. It helps keep the service secure and is erased after a short time.
How long data is kept
We keep personal data no longer than the purpose requires, then deleted, save where the law requires it to be kept longer. Access logs are held briefly and then deleted.
