M3UA will apply protective measures when handling Personal Data under its control or in its possession, both from a regulatory compliance and commercial perspective. M3UA takes the privacy of information it holds about individuals very seriously. This Policy advises on how we use your information, and how it is managed and stored.
How We Use Your Information
Personal information that you supply to us will only be used for:

How Long Will M3UA Keep Your Data For?
We will keep the data about you for as long as you remain an M3UA member, if your membership lapses, we will retain your data as we do for non-members.

How Can You Get Your Details Removed from M3UA’s Systems?
You may request the removal of your personal data from M3UA systems at any time by emailing [email protected] with “Remove my Details” in the subject title. We may not always be able to comply with your request immediately – for example, if we need to retain your personal information for a certain period of time for legal reasons, but in such a situation, we will always ensure that you are not contacted by M3UA again.
