Where your information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy the information or ensure it is de-identified. We note that there are inherent risks in the management of personal information and we cannot and do not guarantee that unauthorised access to your personal information will not occur.

Marketing

Linked sites and information may not be under the control of the Marriner Group and we are not responsible for the privacy practices or content associated with such links, which you follow at your own discretion and risk.
