Privacy Policy
At JVF Accounts, we take the privacy and security of our client's personal information very seriously. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect the personal data we obtain from our clients.
Data Collection
We collect personal information from all our clients directly, which allows us to provide our accounting and bookkeeping services. This information may include:
Name, address, email address, and phone number
Tax identification number
Financial information such as income, expenses, and bank account details
We may also collect personal information from other sources, such as publicly available databases and credit reference agencies.
Data Use
We use your personal information to provide accounting and bookkeeping services to you. This includes preparing your tax returns, processing your payroll, and maintaining your financial records.
We may also use your personal information to communicate with you about our services and to send you marketing materials. Clients can opt out of receiving marketing materials at any time.
Unless we have specifically agreed otherwise, we reserve the right to confirm you are our client for promotional or business purposes.
Data Protection
Where necessary we may need to obtain, process and disclose your personal data. All processing and storing of personal data will be done so in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
We make sure we take appropriate measures to protect the personal information of all our clients. This includes implementing technical and organizational measures to prevent unauthorised access, use, disclosure, or destruction of personal information.
Unless required either by law, regulatory bodies or for insurance purposes, we will not share any personal information without your written authorisation.
If we were to subcontract to another tax or accounting professional, these subcontractors will be equally bound to conserve confidentiality in line with our privacy policy.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services or as required by law. We have established retention policies to ensure that personal information is only kept for the minimum amount of time necessary.
Client Rights
Clients can access, correct, or delete their personal information at any time. They may also request that we restrict the processing of their personal information or object to the processing of their personal information.
Clients may exercise their rights by contacting us via email, post or phone call.
Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Clients will be notified of any changes to the Privacy Policy via email or other means of communication. The most recent version of the Privacy Policy will be posted on our website.
