How we protect your personal data

Security
We treat your Personal Data as private and confidential, and we strive to ensure that Personal Data under our control, regardless of format, is protected and kept secure at all times. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or of storing information is 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot absolutely guarantee the protection of any information shared with us.

Storing of data
Creoate is a UK registered business and we intend and prefer to store all your personal data within relevant regulatory requirements. However, based on the subcontractors we use your data may be stored elsewhere. In that case we will make sure that this subcontractor uses an adequate level of protection of this data that is at least as good as the level we are required to have in compliance with UK laws and regulatory requirements.

Retention of data
We keep your Personal Data for as long as we have a valid and lawful reason to use it. After that we will destroy it or anonymize it so the data is no longer traceable back to you.

Changes

We may decide to change the way we use personal data from time to time. In that case we will update our Privacy policy accordingly and the updated policy will be published on our website.
