Introduction

Our commitment to our clients and others is to respect and protect the privacy and confidentiality of personal and business information that is entrusted to us in the course of rendering services to our clients. Our accountants are governed by Rules of Professional Conduct which have always and will continue to guarantee the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information.

In this privacy policy we explain the basic tenets of our personal information handling practices, including why we collect and use personal information and your rights related to its collection and use.

We collect and use personal information to assist us in providing services pertaining to the preparation financial statements for your clients.

Consent

We will not collect, use or disclose your clients' personal information without your consent. By providing us with your clients' personal information for the purpose listed above, you consent to our collection and use of the information for that purpose.

If we wish to collect your clients' personal information for purposes other than stated above, we may request that you consent, verbally or in writing to such collection. Similarly, if we wish to use personal information that we have already collected for a purpose other than as stated above, we will seek your consent to such use.

You have the right to refuse or withdraw your consent to the collection, use and disclosure of your clients' personal information. In some cases, such refusal or withdrawal may prohibit or adversely effect the completion of our professional engagement. We will advise you if that is the case.

Retention, Accuracy and Safeguarding

In order to serve you better, we will retain and safeguard your clients' information for as long as we determine is necessary.

We will use appropriate technologies, and maintain high security standards to ensure the protection of you information. While we do employ up to date technology to protect your personal information when it is transmitted electronically, you should be aware that no electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You may review your clients' personal information and request corrections if necessary. We are committed to maintaining accurate information, and urge you to notify us promptly of any changes in your clients' personal information.

We understand that, in the course of delivering our services, you may disclose to us your clients' personal information that you have collected regarding their employees, customers and other parties. We assure and commit to you that this information will be kept private and confidential and will not be released to any third party (other than as may be required by law) unless we first obtain consent.

Our Responsibilities

Each and every one of our employees, partners and contractors is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of all personal information to which they have access. Our employees are trained to know and respect our privacy policy, and compliance with our policies and procedures for protecting personal information is a condition of their employment.

We endeavour to revisit our privacy policy and procedures from time to time to ensure that we are providing you with the highest degree of protection in connection with the delivery of our services. Such changes will be posted on our web site, listed below.
