measures appropriate to the nature of the information we handle.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete,
anonymise or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal and

grievance-related mechanisms, subject to the Act and applicable rules.
20. WITHDRAWING CONSENT
Where we process your personal information based on your consent, you
