This has been configured in a way that anonymises your IP address, along with any other personal or identifiable data obtained through Google Analytics. By tracking users in this way, it is therefore not possible to identify a single person through their use of this website.

We have implemented state-of-the-art administrative, technical and physical security measures to protect against the unauthorised access, destruction or alteration of your information. This includes encrypting our services using Secure Sockets Layer (known as ‘SSL’) and restricting access to personal data to all employees, contractors and agents working on behalf of PATH who need to know that information to process it for us, and who are subject to strict contractual confidentiality obligations.

Data retention

We delete or anonymise your personal data as soon as it is no longer needed for the purposes we have collected your personal data as outlined in this privacy policy.
