You will have the option to unsubscribe from these ODI lists if you wish, and you may opt to receive mailings from only one list.
Where the ODI proposes using your personal information for anything other than what you originally signed up for, we will ensure to notify you first. You will also be given the opportunity to withhold or withdraw your consent for use other than those listed above.
4. Will the ODI share my personal details with anyone else?
We will not sell, distribute or lease your personal information to third parties unless we have your permission or disclosure is required by law.

We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
While we strive to keep the information that you supply secure, because of the nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee that your information will remain 100% secure at all times.
6. How long will the ODI keep my personal information?
The personal information you provide will be kept on our database for as long as is reasonably required for the purpose(s) for which it was submitted. If you delete your account or request to be removed from a particular mailing list, your profile is tagged as ‘inactive' and, while people cannot use the personal information, it stays on the system for a period of one year for administration purposes before being deleted automatically.
7. Can I access the personal details that the ODI holds?
You may request details of personal information held about you under the Data Protection Act 1998. A small fee will be payable.
