be completely secure.

12. Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the
purposes for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining
business records, complying with legal and regulatory obligations, resolving
disputes and protecting our legitimate interests.

When personal information is no longer required, we may securely destroy,

require us to retain it.

13. Accuracy of Personal Information

We aim to ensure that personal information we hold is accurate, complete and

You may request access to personal information that we hold about you,
subject to applicable legal exceptions.

16. Anonymity and Pseudonymity

Where practical and permitted by law, you may interact with us without
identifying yourself or by using a pseudonym.

However, anonymity or pseudonymity may not be practical for many immigration

to assess circumstances, provide services and comply with legal or
professional obligations.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, platforms or services.

Those third parties operate independently and may have their own privacy

immigration matter, that information may be collected where reasonably
necessary for the relevant service or application.

Where appropriate, information may be provided by a parent, guardian or
authorised representative.

19. Data Breaches

assess the incident and take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable
privacy and data breach laws.

Where required by law, we will notify affected individuals and/or the
