This privacy statement explains which data we use, why we need it, and how long it is retained. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Under applicable UK and European legislation, you have certain rights as a data subject regarding the personal data processed by or on behalf of Application.GF Here's an overview of your rights and how you can exercise them. To prevent misuse, we typically send copies of your data only to the email address we already have on file. If you'd like the data sent to a different email address or by post, we may ask you to verify your identity. We keep records of processed requests; for "right to be forgotten" requests, we maintain anonymized data. All copies and transcripts of data are provided in a machine-readable format. You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) if you believe we are misusing your personal data.
