order to protect personal data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised alteration or destruction. We
will notify you promptly in the event of any breach of your personal data which might expose you
to serious risk.
4.3 Please note however that where you are transmitting information to us over the internet this can
never be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

we are not entitled to do so, we will stop processing your personal data except that we will retain
your personal data in an archived form in order to be able to comply with future legal obligations
