Security

The Building Control Careers & Jobs website treats the security of your personal information very seriously. When you enter sensitive information on our forms, we encrypt the transmission of that information using secure socket layer technology (SSL). When you are on a secure page, a lock icon will appear at the top of web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Google Chrome.

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we receive it. However, no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

It is important that all computer users have good passwords, change them frequently and use firewall/virus protection software.  We limit access to data to only those people who have responsibility for delivering services and communications. They receive training in using and protecting data.  Data is processed through specialist third party providers for verification, cleaning, de-duplicating and reporting.  This is done under contracts and these contracts pass on responsibility for security, privacy and non-disclosure to the third party contractually including a non-disclosure agreement. 

The Building Control Careers & Jobs website does not retain old, expired or ‘deleted’ data.  If you opt-out your data will be “forgotten”. If you have any questions about security on our website, you can contact us by writing or email us at the address below. How you can access and update your information.
