some circumstances a group member with whom we share your personal information will act as a joint

7.1 How long we keep your information will depend on the purpose for which we use it. We will only retain
your information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy and Cookies Policy and
as is necessary to comply with our legal obligations. We do not keep more information than we need for
the particular purpose.

7.2 Where we have provided you with a product or service we will keep an archived record of your personal
data for a period of up to 6 years after termination (unless a longer period is prescribed by law) for the
purposes of responding to legal disputes and legal or regulatory enquiries or investigations only, but will
not use this data for any other purpose.

of information necessary (such as your name and email address) to ensure that we are able to adhere to
your request.
