These safeguards include reliance on the UK extension to the UK-US Data Privacy Framework, or Standard Contractual Clauses issued or approved by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), in line with UK data protection law.

We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide our services and to comply with legal requirements. When your data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymised. If you sign up to receive marketing communications, for example by downloading a resource such as our CPD handbook, we retain your details for as long as you remain subscribed.
