To the extent that we are supplied with any personal information via a support email (e.g. name, address, name of child, gender, age, date of birth, contact details) we may retain those details on our secure email system for as long as is necessary to resolve your support issue. Should you write to us via any other email address, we may retain any personal information you supply to us for as long as is necessary to resolve your support issue. Should you choose to write to us at our postal address, we may retain any personal information provided for as long as is necessary to deal with the subject matter arising from the correspondence.
