Legal And Legitimate Basis For Processing

We will process personal information only where there is an appropriate basis for doing so. Depending on the circumstances, this may include your consent, the performance of a contract or service, compliance with a legal or regulatory obligation, the protection of legitimate interests, the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or another lawful basis permitted under applicable legislation.

How We Share Information

We may share personal information where necessary with authorised employees and representatives, service providers and contractors, partners and collaborating organisations, donors or funding partners where appropriate, research institutions or academic partners, government authorities and regulators, professional advisers, auditors, and legal representatives, and other parties where required or permitted by law.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that recipients protect personal information and use it only for authorised purposes. Where possible and appropriate, data may be anonymised or aggregated before it is shared.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical, administrative, and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, unauthorised disclosure, loss, alteration, destruction, misuse, or other unlawful processing.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take appropriate precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We will retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, meet legal, regulatory, contractual, research, financial, or reporting requirements, or resolve disputes.

When personal information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, anonymised, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable procedures.
