Legal Information

QED collects individually identifiable information from clients to complete business transactions, deliver products, administer individual accounts, and meet regulatory requirements. All information supplied to us, whatever the format, is treated with the strictest confidence and will not be disclosed to unauthorised third parties without the client’s consent.

We retain your information for a period of time in-house according to our Data Retention/Destruction Policy. After this time, all payment and other personal information is destroyed, confidentially and totally, leaving only your contact information to assist us with future enquiries from you. As a corporate policy, any personal information that is printed to paper is shredded before being disposed of.

QED Limited will not share the personal information you give us with a business partner, or any unrelated third party, unless we specifically request your approval.
