You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the login credentials (including your account login username and password) we have given you (or you have chosen) to access to certain parts of the Site. Do not share your password with anyone, and we urge you to be careful about giving out information in any public areas of the Site.

For Site security purposes and to ensure that the Site and related products and services remain available to all users, SEND employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

We will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements. We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or other requirements.
