In order to carry out these processes, we need to collect information the people providing the items, and the people receiving the items if they are leaving our collection. This information allows us to track where an item has come from and where it has gone if it is no longer in the collection.

How long we hold your personal data
The information collected in this process forms part of the historic record, and so is kept permanently.
