Data retention

We will retain the personal information we hold about you only for as long is as considered necessary for the purpose for which it was collected (including as required by applicable law or regulation).

In the case of applications for Legal Aid, the retention period will normally be the lifetime of the case or such other period as is required to complete the administration of the grant of legal aid and its consequences, if any.

Other records, which are not required to be retained as part of our statutory function, will be kept for a period of time depending on:

• the type, amount and categories of Personal Data we have collected
• the requirements of our business and the services we provide
• the purposes for which we originally collected the Personal Data
• the lawful grounds upon which we based our processing
• any relevant legal or regulatory obligations.

We continually review our data retention policies, and we reserve the right to amend the retention periods without notice.
