Our work for you may require us to pass your information to our third-party service providers and other associated organisations for the purposes of completing tasks and providing the services to you on our behalf. However, when we use third party service providers, we disclose only the personal information that is necessary to deliver the services and we have contracts in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it for their own direct marketing purposes.
We will not share your information for marketing purposes with companies so that they may offer you their products and services.

When you give us personal information, we take steps to make sure that it's treated securely. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us via email or post, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your information, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
To enhance the security of data transmission, we offer the use of a client portal that allows data to be passed instantly and securely between ourselves and you. The client portal, amongst other things, offers two‐factor login authentication and password/document encryption to ensure that your data is held and transmitted securely.
