  3. Use and disclose it only in ways compatible for these purposes
  4. Keep it safe and secure
  5. Keep it accurate, complete and up-to-date

  7. Retain it for no longer than is necessary for the purpose or purposes
  8. Give a copy of his/her personal data to an individual, on request

The purpose of this privacy statement is to inform you about how we comply with these rules and the Acts.
