Interception of mail

Kilburn & Strode may intercept emails addressed to individuals within the firm. The reasons we do this are related to security of Kilburn & Strode, its staff and others, for detection and prevention of crime, to identify correct recipients or to make sure mail is dealt with during staff absence. Kilburn & Strode may reject, delay or remove content from emails which have a nature, content or attachments which may disrupt Kilburn & Strode’s systems or which may pose security issues such as viruses.

Kilburn & Strode may also filter out emails which contain certain content on the basis that content is offensive or the email is unwanted or spam. In certain circumstances this may unfortunately result in "innocent" emails being affected, but KILBURN & STRODE does try to reduce such occurrences.
 

Security

Kilburn & Strode has developed strict policies governing information technology. These cover areas such as access control, authentication, audit, monitoring, alarms, data storage and back up and transmission standards and environment integrity. Kilburn & Strode will use reasonable endeavours to install and have appropriate security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of information that Kilburn & Strode has collected from you. As an additional security precaution, we do not store any credit card details on our website.
