• If you choose to Register with us and then delete your User Account yourself and you do not select the ‘Right to be remembered’ option in your User Account we do not retain your Personal Information and will delete it within 8 weeks of your deletion of your User Account.  This eight week period is required for us to ensure the smooth running of our systems.
• We may provide a user with a Free Subscription which by definition does not involve a user completing a financial transaction.  For those Free Subscribers who then delete their User Account theirselves and who do not select the ‘Right to be remembered’ option in your User Account we do not retain your Personal Information and we delete it within 8 weeks of your deletion of your User Account.  This eight week period is required for us to ensure the smooth running of our systems.
