The only information we obtain about our subscribers is information provided by subscribers (contact name, company, email, telephone numbers and/or fax number, business and postal address) and is never disclosed to any third party.

• Review and correct any information we store
• Request removal of some or all of the information stored about you in our database

Where you are a customer, we will keep your information for the length of any contractual relationship you have with us unless you are a customer purchasing Standards in which event we will keep your information until you opt out.

Where you are a prospective customer and you have expressly consented to us contacting you, we will only retain your data until you unsubscribe from our communications.
