We do not collect any personal information about you through our AHC website.
We keep your information for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal information is processed. The Schedule attached to the program/service specific Data Protection Privacy Notice you will receive when engaging with us, states how long we store your information for and the reasons for this.

You also have the right to ask our Data Protection Officer for some but not all of the information we hold and process to be erased (the ‘right to be forgotten’) in certain circumstances. Our Data Protection Officer will provide you with further information about the right to be forgotten, if you ask for it.
We have appropriate technical and organisational measures in place to prevent personal information from being accidentally lost, or used or accessed in an unauthorised way.
