Of course, we treat all information held about clients and client projects as highly confidential.
 
We restrict the number of people who have access to your confidential data to the bare minimum. Senior members of the company do of course have access to information that we hold regarding clients and client projects. The only details that are shared with mystery shoppers however are project briefs and questionnaires, and these are only shared with suitable shoppers, who have been tested for competence and suitability, have been manually approved, and who have read and agreed to our legally binding confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement.
