These providers act on our instructions and are required to keep your information secure. We may also disclose information where we are required to do so by law.
6. How long we keep your information
We keep enquiry and customer information only for as long as necessary to deal with your enquiry, to supply and support our products, and to meet our legal and accounting obligations. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
