14. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

The appropriate retention period depends on the nature of the information, the reason it was collected, our relationship with you, contractual requirements, legal and regulatory obligations, tax and accounting requirements, and the need to establish or defend legal claims.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.
