How M&A Accountants collects, uses and protects your personal information.
Who we are
M&A Accountants and Safe Secure Tax Specialists Ltd, trading as M&A Accountants, is the data controller for the personal information we hold about you. Our registered office is Unit 3 Bugbrooke Fields Business Park, Bugbrooke Road, Kislingbury, Northampton NN7 4UF, and our company number is 17024538. You can contact us about this notice by email at contactus@ma-sastax.co.uk or by phone on 01604 356987.
Information we collect
- Contact details such as your name, address, email address and phone number.
- Information you give us through our website contact form.
- Financial, tax and business records needed to provide our services, including information required to verify your identity under anti-money-laundering regulations.
- CVs and covering notes sent to us about working here, which we keep for six months.
How we use it
- To respond to enquiries and provide the services you engage us for.
- To meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including filings with HMRC and Companies House and anti-money-laundering checks.
- To keep you informed of changes in tax and accounting rules that are relevant to you, where you have agreed to this. You can withdraw that agreement at any time.
Lawful basis
We process your information to perform our contract with you, to comply with legal obligations, and where it is in our legitimate interests to run our practice and keep in touch with clients, provided those interests are not outweighed by your rights.
Who we share it with
We share information with HMRC, Companies House and other authorities where required; with software and cloud storage providers who process data on our behalf, some of whom may store data outside the UK under appropriate safeguards; and, with your agreement, with professionals we introduce you to such as mortgage brokers or insolvency practitioners. We do not sell your information. Providing the information we ask for is a requirement of our engagement and, in the case of identity checks, of the law; without it we cannot act for you.
How long we keep it
We keep client records for at least six years after the end of our engagement, in line with HMRC requirements and our professional obligations, and then securely delete them.
Your rights
You have the right to access the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or erased, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details above. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
