Where this happens, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as adequacy regulations, standard contractual clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

If we do not have a fixed retention period, we will decide how long to keep information based on the nature of the information, the reason it was collected, legal and regulatory requirements, professional obligations, and whether it may be needed for disputes, queries or legal claims.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

These may include access controls, secure passwords and authentication, encryption where appropriate, secure cloud systems, data backup procedures, staff confidentiality obligations, anti-virus and security monitoring, and restricted access to client records.

No system is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold.
