We keep your personal data for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it has been collected and to comply with our legal obligations.
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 requirements.

Alternatively, and in exceptional circumstances only, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
What if you do not provide personal data?
You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide data to RPS. However, if you do not provide the information necessary, then the organisation may not be able to provide the necessary services to fulfil any contractual duties we engage in.
How we protect and store your personal data
The organisation takes the security of your data seriously. The organisation has internal policies and controls in place to try to ensure that your data is not lost, accidentally destroyed, misused or disclosed, and is not accessed except by its employees in the performance of their duties.
Where the organisation engages third parties to process personal data on its behalf, they do so on the basis of written instructions, are under a duty of confidentiality and are obliged to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure the security of data.
Data will be stored on a designated server within the organisation's IT system. All data deemed “personal information” is encrypted to ensure security of data.
Is personal data transferred outside the country of origin?
Your personal information may be transferred outside the country of origin and will be protected in line with required data protection standards. Some countries also have adequate protection for personal information under laws that apply to us. We will make sure that suitable safeguards are in place before we transfer your personal information that does not have adequate protection under laws that apply to us, except in cases where what are called ‘derogations’ apply.
