Data Retention and Minimisation
We routinely and aggressively destroy out-of-date and unused data to keep our Users' privacy a priority.
For example, if a User that has explicitly signed up to our newsletter doesn't engage/open for a period of six months, we'll stop sending it to them, and after attempts to re-engage, will completely remove their data from our systems.
Competition entry data is kept for two years, to protect Users, Clients and Threadneedle Media legally, in case of any disputes. This data isn't used or accessed unless absolutely neccessary.
If a User has any complaint or query about our data practices, Threadneedle Media would love to hear from them. Please contact us at Support.
To unsubscribe from newsletters, please click the Unsubscribe link at the bottom of any of our communications. Your data will then be routinely cleaned from our systems.
