4          How we hold your personal information

 

Saving Moore Park aims to keep your personal information secure and protected from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.  Access to your personal information is restricted to the website administrator(s), members of the Saving Moore Park committee and its advisors who have specific authorisation.  Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be 100% secure.  Whilst we strive to protect your personal information, Saving Moore Park cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.

 

We are required by law to keep some types of information for certain periods of time.  If we no longer require your personal information, we will generally destroy or de-identify it.  We reserve the right to retain information for longer than the minimum period required under any applicable law if we consider that it is appropriate, but we will hold it in accordance with this policy.
