Au Gallery takes appropriate precautions to protect Personal Data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Such measures may include (i) using security controls such as firewalls and/or encryption, (ii) restricting Personal Data to those with a legitimate purpose in receiving/accessing it, and (iii) using data retention controls to ensure that Personal Data is not kept for longer than is necessary. 

‍

9. How long we retain Personal Data

Au Gallery retains Personal Data for a period of time for as long as is reasonable or appropriate for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We determine the applicable retention period by taking into account the (i) amount, nature and sensitivity of the Personal Data, (i) relevant use, including whether we can achieve the use through other means (e.g., by instead using de-identified data); (iii) potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the Personal Data, and (iv) applicable legal requirements (e.g., statutes of limitation). After the applicable retention period, we will delete the Personal Data, hold it in a form that no longer identifies you or, if we are unable for technical reasons to delete/de-identify it entirely, will implement appropriate measures to prevent any further use of such Personal Data. For example, checks are made on a regular basis for any contact details that have remained inactive in our sales and marketing databases, and if they are inactive for two years, we delete them.
