Personal information may be needed to be collected by statute, or under the terms of contract we have in place with you.  Not providing us with this personal information could prevent or postpone us from meeting our professional obligations.

Offline

 

Data is stored on our premises on a dedicated computer system.  This is protected by a password and all staff have been trained in GDPR compliance with regards its operation.  Full consideration is given to anti-virus and relevant software security on an ongoing basis.  No information is taken off the premises on physical media (disks, flash-drives etc.). 

 

Online

 

Although we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our system or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others.   However, regular incremental backups are in place.

 

Access to the data is limited to trusted employees.
