Generally, we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third-party direct marketing communications to you. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by using the opt-out option on marketing material or by contacting us.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within a month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
You also have the right to complain to the ICO (www.ico.org.uk) if you feel there is a problem with the way we are handling your data. We would, however appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
10. How long will you use my personal data for?
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes we collected it for.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
