What do we do with your information?

Most of the information we hold is to provide the contractual services that we deliver to our Bondholder Network members. This includes event attendance and keeping our members up to date with relevant news and business information we think will be useful or of interest to them.

For contractual purposes we will hold your information so we can provide you with Bondholder Network services.

Any information that is required from a legal basis will be stored and maintained securely – as best practise or as the law dictates – such as signed contracts or invoices, for example.

All non-statutory information will be removed from digital and paper-based systems one year after your involvement ends with the Bondholder Network.

Companies and individuals that are held on our marketing databases will only be provided information relating and pertinent to the activities of Opportunity Peterborough and / or Visit Peterborough, as applicable, and will have the ability to opt-out at any point.

What information do we need?

Most information that we need is required by law to process financial documents and to provide us with contact points for the organisations in our Bondholder Network.

For marketing purposes, we only hold an individual’s basic contact details – as an example, name and email address; so that we can keep you updated with regular newsletters and business news and information we think you may be interested in.
