International transfers
We may transfer personal data to a country that does not have laws that provide an equivalent level of protection for personal data as the laws in your home country. For any such transfers we will implement appropriate measures and safeguards to protect your personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Data storage and retention
We keep all applicant/participant responses securely stored with access only provided to individuals involved in the Project. Appropriate technical and organisational measures are in place to protect your personal data.
We will not keep your personal data for longer than necessary. Retention periods will depend on the sensitivity of the data, the potential risks, the purposes for processing, and applicable legal requirements. Data will be securely deleted or anonymised once it is no longer required.
