Privacy-by-design

We respect your privacy and your data. Only employees of OnSite Support can access client data. Each employee signs a confidentiality agreement when recruited by OnSite Support and only has access to the customer data required to fulfil their roles. Client information is stored on a database which is password protected.

Any printed materials with confidential information are shredded and any financial information is sent to a third part to be officially shredded and incinerated.

OnSite Support limits the details sent to suppliers on a need to know basis (e.g. just email addresses.) Client details are only shared at the benefit of their business and with consent or under legitimate interest.

Both our database and website use hashing to password protect access.
