  • Maintaining accurate records and improving the site’s content and services.
  • Complying with legal obligations, preventing fraud or misuse, and ensuring responsible operation of the site.

Personal data is processed only where these interests are not overridden by users’ rights and freedoms. Steps are taken to minimise data collection and ensure information is used only for the purposes described.
