Please read this statement carefully and contact us if you have questions.

WHAT KINDS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT AND HOLD?
Personal information
The type of personal information we collect will depend on the circumstances of its collection and the nature of your dealing with us. This information may include your name, contact details, or information relevant to providing you with blogging services. This is not an exhaustive list.

Sensitive information
We do not collect sensitive information such as information about an individual’s mental health, disability, racial or ethnic origin, criminal convictions, religious affiliation and political affiliation.

HOW DO WE COLLECT AND HOLD YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
How we collect your personal information
We generally collect your personal information directly from you. For example, when you seek advice from us (whether over the phone, by electronic communication or in person), apply for a job with us, visit our websites, register an account or use our online services, attend our events, enter our competitions or subscribe to receive information from us. 

We may also collect your personal information from third parties, including our service providers. 

How we hold your personal information
We hold your personal information in encrypted electronic forms, in secure databases that we own and operate or that are owned and operated by our service providers. 

While we take reasonable steps to protect the security of your personal information, data protection and security measures can never be guaranteed. We therefore cannot guarantee the security of your personal information.

We destroy personal information when we no longer need it, unless we are otherwise required or authorised by law to retain the information.
