This section sets out how long we retain your information. We have set out specific retention periods where possible. Where that has not been possible, we have set out the criteria we use to determine the retention period.
Retention periods

Criteria for determining retention periods
In any other circumstances, we will retain your information for no longer than necessary, taking into account the following:
- the purpose(s) and use of your information both now and in the future (such as whether it is necessary to continue to store that information to continue to perform our obligations under a contract with you or to contact you in the future);
- whether we have any legal obligation to continue to process your information (such as any record-keeping obligations imposed by relevant law or regulation);
- whether we have any legal basis to continue to process your information (such as your consent);
- how valuable your information is (both now and in the future);
- any relevant agreed industry practices on how long information should be retained;
- the levels of risk, cost and liability involved with us continuing to hold the information;
- how hard it is to ensure that the information can be kept up to date and accurate; and
- any relevant surrounding circumstances (such as the nature and status of our relationship with you).]
How we secure your information
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to secure your information and to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful use and accidental loss or destruction, including:
- only sharing and providing access to your information to the minimum extent necessary, subject to confidentiality restrictions where appropriate, and on an anonymised basis wherever possible;
- using secure servers to store your information.

We cannot be responsible for any costs, expenses, loss of profits, harm to reputation, damages, liabilities or any other form of loss or damage suffered by you as a result of your decision to transmit information to us by such means.

Sensitive Personal Information
‘Sensitive personal information’ is information about an individual that reveals their racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic information, biometric information to uniquely identify an individual, information concerning health or information concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation.
We do not knowingly or intentionally collect sensitive personal information from individuals, and you must not submit sensitive personal information to us.
If, however, you inadvertently or intentionally transmit sensitive personal information to us, you will be considered to have explicitly consented to us processing that sensitive personal information under Article 9(2)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulations. We will use and process your sensitive personal information to delete it.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
We update and amend our Privacy Policy from time to time.
Minor changes to our Privacy Policy
Where we make minor changes to our Privacy Policy, we will update our Privacy Policy with a new effective date stated at the beginning of it. Our processing of your information will be governed by the practices set out in that new version of the Privacy Policy from its effective date onwards.
Major changes to our Privacy Policy or the purposes for which we process your information
Where we make major changes to our Privacy Policy or intend to use your information for a new purpose or a different purpose than the purposes for which we originally collected it, we will notify you by email (where possible) or by posting a notice on our website.
We will provide you with information about the change in question and the purpose and any other relevant information before we use your information for that new purpose.
Wherever required, we will obtain your prior consent before using your information for a purpose that is different from the purposes for which we originally collected it.
Do Not Track Disclosures
“Do Not Track” is a privacy preference that users can set in their web browsers. When a user turns on a Do Not Track signal in their browser, the browser sends a message to websites requesting that they do not track the user. For information about Do Not Track, please visit www.allaboutdnt.org
At this time, we do not respond to Do Not Track browser settings or signals. Also, we use other technology that is standard to the internet, such as pixel tags, web beacons to track visitors to the website. Those tools may be used by us and third parties to collect information about you and your internet activity, even if you have turned on No Not Track signal. For information on how to opt-out from tracking technologies used on our website, see our cookies policy which is available here: https://www.olivastu.com/cookies
Copyright, credit and logo
This Privacy Policy is based on a General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/769) (GDPR) compliant template provided by GDPR Privacy Policy. For further information, please visit https://gdprprivacypolicy.org
The copyright in this Privacy Policy is either owned by or licensed to us and is protected by copyright laws around the world and copyright protection software. All intellectual property rights in this document are reserved.
Where we display the GDPR Privacy Policy logo on our website, this is used to indicate that we have adopted a privacy policy template provided by GDPR Privacy Policy as the basis for this Privacy Policy.
1: When you upload this privacy policy to your website, at a minimum, you should ensure that the titles in this “Contents” section link to the relevant headings in the main body of the privacy policy. For instance, the “Our details” title in this “Contents” section should link to the “Our details” heading in the main body of the privacy policy. An alternative and highly recommended way of ensuring your privacy policy meets the clear and accessible requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation is to use drop-down boxes for each section of the privacy policy which expands and shows the information in that section when clicked on. This allows a user to easily access the information they are interested in quickly and effectively.
2: This summary section is designed to meet the GDPR’s requirement for a privacy policy to be in a concise, transparent, intelligible and easily accessible form and uses the ICO’s suggestion of adopting a layered approach to achieve this. The individual can then look at the corresponding section in the main body of the privacy policy if they require more information on any particular aspect of your privacy policy. If you use an individual’s data in a way they would not reasonably expect, you must ensure that you bring it to their attention in this summary section. The summary section can be contained in or separated from the rest of the privacy policy and inserted above it (with the rest of the full privacy policy below) to draw the summary section more clearly to the user’s attention.
3: Where you transfer personal information outside the European Economic Area (EEA), you must ensure appropriate safeguards are in place before you make such a transfer. For further information on such safeguards please see the full section entitled ‘Transfers of your information outside the European Economic Area’.
4: These are general factors which the Information Commissioner’s Office recommends that you consider when determining the retention period for personal information. You should delete any factors that do not apply to your determination of how long you retain information and add any additional factors that you take into account (if any).
5: This section includes some mandatory security measures you are required to take as well as some suggested further actions methods of securing personal information which you may or may not use in practice. You should add to this list any additional methods which you use to secure personal information which is not covered in this list.
6: Although transmission of information over the internet is inherently insecure, you need to ensure that personal information collected via your website is stored on secure servers.
