We cannot accept responsibility for unauthorised access to your information that is outside our control.

FirstAssist receives any information you supply as you fill out any online forms or when you send us other electronic communications including emails. We use this information to provide you with a more personalised service and also for marketing purposes, in order that from time to time FirstAssist may let you know about a product or service by telephone, post or email. Using the information you've provided to us, we strive to limit our offers to those we think are relevant to you and that you'd appreciate receiving. We want every contact you have with us to be a positive experience.
