Where your information is held
Some of our providers, including Stripe and our hosting and email providers, may process information outside the UK, for example in the European Economic Area or the United States. Where they do, we rely on UK adequacy regulations (including the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework), or the International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, so your information gets the same protection.
How long we keep it
- Account details: while your account is open, then up to twelve months after you close it.
- Order and payment records: six years after the end of the tax year they fall in, because tax law requires it.
- Support messages: two years.
- Technical logs: up to twelve months.
