The Citizens Advice service is committed to safeguarding your privacy, while providing a high quality of service.

When you provide us with personal information, for example, when using the email advice service, we take steps to ensure that your information is treated securely from the time we receive it. Citizens Advice Plymouth makes every effort to ensure the security and integrity of emails on our systems. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information after we’ve received it, CitizensAdvice Plymouth cannot ensure or guarantee the security of information when it is being transmitted.
