your communication preferences and CHWA Updates subscription status;
technical information, such as your IP address, browser information and website activity; and

We use personal information under the following lawful bases:
Consent: to send CHWA Updates and use optional cookies where consent is required.
Contract: to provide services, bookings, accounts or resources you request.
Legal obligation: to maintain records required by law.
Legitimate interests: to respond to enquiries and operate, protect and improve our website and services, where your rights do not override those interests.

We may use trusted service providers that help us operate our website and deliver our services, including:

email marketing and contact-management service providers;

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and to meet legal, accounting or security requirements.
CHWA Updates subscription information is retained until you unsubscribe. We may retain a limited suppression record afterwards to ensure that further marketing is not sent to you.
