We regard our client’s affairs as confidential. In the course of our acting for you, we will receive information relating to you and your employees. In this Statement, we refer to this information as “personal information”.
How we use your personal information
We shall use personal information and share it with our staff and consultants for the purpose of providing you with our professional services. We shall use and disclose personal information so far as required to carry out your instructions.
We may also use personal information to notify you about developments and services which we think you may find valuable, for sending you newsletters, invitations to seminars and similar marketing. We may contact you by post, fax, email or telephone. You can tell us if you do not wish to receive this information by writing to us at 23 Chiltern Road, Sutton, Surrey, SM2 5QU.
We may transfer personal information to a successor firm or company which acquires the practice carried on by City Valuation Advisory Limited. If this happens, we will require the firm or company to which we transfer personal information to observe standards of data protection and privacy no less secure than those set out in this Statement.
Save as described in this Statement, personal information will be retained by us and will not be sold, transferred or otherwise disclosed to any third party, unless such disclosure is required by law or court order.
Whilst every member of the City Valuation Advisory Limited team has a personal private email address, emails which you send to us or which we send to you may be monitored by City Valuation Advisory Limited to ensure compliance with our internal compliance policies. Monitoring is not continuous or routine, but may be undertaken on the instruction of a director where there are reasonable grounds for doing so. Occasional spot checks or audits may also be undertaken on the instruction or with the authority of a director.

Some of our information technology systems may be operated by a third party on our behalf. We endeavour to ensure appropriate security measures are in place to prevent unauthorised disclosure of personal information.
