We have implemented a computer security policy and related procedures, and we train our employees about data security issues. Only employees who have a job-related need to access personal information are authorised to do so and they have agreed to protect the confidentiality of that information. In addition to these employees, only your employer and particular service providers are authorised to access your personal information. We also require that our subcontractors enter into confidentiality agreements intended to protect your personal information. Our commitment to protecting personally identifiable information also means that:

10. DATA RETENTION 

10.1 We will only retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

10.2 To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.

11.2 We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
