Information Collected
​
Users of our website can visit the site without revealing their identity or providing information about themselves.
​
We only collect information directly from users when they voluntarily submit their personal information to us. This can be done either via the contact us form on this website or by electronic mail (email) directly to our employees.
​
When this sort of information is collected we reserve the right to do one of two things. We may decide not retain the information you have sent if we feel that we would be an organisation who would be unable to provide you with services. In this case your data would be immediately deleted. If we chose to retain your information we will save it to our cloud based secure database and retain the information for a period of no longer than 12 months. It will be handled by our team used only for the purpose of supporting you as a business.
During the 12 month retention period it is your responsibility to make us aware of any changes to your information.
​
We reserve the right to add to this list of considerations available to our users to interact with us.
​
It is completely up to users to voluntarily provide us with their personal information and by sending information you must accept that by default you have given us permission to act in keeping with the information above.
​
Use of Collected Information

​
We not share your personal information with other organisations unless you have given consent and it is in the interest of you. We will not send your information to any companies or individuals without your prior consent. Athena does not sell, trade, provide or rent personal information to third parties.
