processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (including undertaking screening for financial and other sanctions and conduct checks to identify you and verify your identity).

Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your Personal Information other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us (see ‘How to contact us’ below).

6. How long your personal information will be kept

We will only retain your Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for your Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Information, the purposes for which we process your Personal Information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

When it is no longer necessary to retain your Personal Information, we will anonymise it.
