We may also share your personal data with our service providers who perform services on our behalf. We contractually require these service providers to use or disclose the personal data only as necessary to perform services on our behalf.

We retain personal data for as long as is necessary for the processing purpose(s) for which the information was collected, and any other permissible, related purpose. For example, we may retain the information you provided to us as long as necessary to provide you with the services you requested through our Website and until the time limit for claims which may arise from those services has expired, or to comply with regulatory requirements regarding the retention of such data. So, if we use your personal data for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires; but we will stop using it for the purpose(s) with a shorter period once that period expires.
