Our offices
Visitors to our offices must sign in at reception. A record is kept for a short period of time. This information is necessary for your safety in case of an emergency, so we know you are in the building and for the security of our people, visitors and the firm’s assets. These records are kept secure and only shared where required for the detection or investigation of crime or to ensure the safety and security of our offices.
In some of our offices we use an application on an iPad or similar device to sign in visitors. This service is provided by Sign In App, please see their privacy policy for more information. If you are asked for an email address as a part of signing in, it will only be used to invite you to provide feedback on your experience with us. It will not be used for marketing without your consent.
CCTV is used in our offices to maintain security. The images are stored securely and only accessed when necessary, such as investigating an incident. Unless an issue is identified that requires investigation, recordings are overwritten after a short period of time.
