3. Why we collect it (purpose & lawful basis)

We do not sell your personal data. Where data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

5. How long we keep it (retention)

We retain your personal data for as long as needed to provide the service and to comply with our legal obligations — typically up to 24 months from the date of submission. After that period, your data is deleted or fully anonymised.
