How we treat Personal Information that is also Sensitive Information

Sensitive information is given a higher level of protection than other personal information.  It means information relating to your ethnicity, sexual orientation, political opinions, religion, criminal records, health information or biometric information.

Sometimes it may be necessary for us to collect sensitive information where it is relevant to the services we are providing.  We will do our best to limit the collection of sensitive information to that which we consider essential  and will endeavour to destroy the information as soon as reasonably practicable when we consider it no longer required for the provision of services.
