We take steps to ensure that the personal data that you provide is retained for only as long as it is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Where we have collected the personal data based on your consent (e.g. for marketing purposes) and we have no other lawful basis to continue with that, if you subsequently withdraw your consent then we will delete your personal data.

We hold your personal data within the United Kingdom. We do work with agents and service providers who may process your personal information on our behalf outside the UK.

We would always prefer that you come to us to help address any concerns of a privacy nature before you go to the ICO or other applicable supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance. If you require more information or have any queries, please contact us at info@univive.com.
