Where do we store your information

For the most part your personal information will be stored in servers in the UK, or in the EEA (European Economic Area).

We keep your information for as long as it is necessary to perform the purposes outlined in this privacy notice (except where a longer retention period is required by law, such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).

User account personal information will not be stored for longer than twelve months past the start of the idle period of the account.
