7. Your personal data will always be processed and stored in a secure manner.

   Coelition open standards specify technical methods to protect personal information while it is being used. Pseudonymisation techniques will be used. Anonymisation techniques may be used once your personal data is no longer processed for the purposes, so that any data that is stored or archived no longer identifies you.
