This privacy policy sets out the way we process your personal data and we’ve created this privacy policy to make sure you are aware of how we use your data.

-          From a third party you have requested to contact us such as mortgage advisers

-          From agencies assisting us to meet our regulatory requirements such as those providing Anti       Money Laundering checks.

 

The types of information we collect

 

We may collect the following types of personal information about you:

 

-          Contact information, including email addresses, telephone numbers and postal addresses

Why we use personal data

 

We use your personal data in order to enable us to deliver and charge for the services we provide in accordance with our contractual obligations, including the provision of administrative and technical support.  For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and UK Data Protection laws, when processing your personal data we are relying on the legal basis of:

 

-          Our contract with you

-          Our legitimate interest in being able to take payment from you

 

The information we collect and process is required for us to be able to perform our contractual obligations and receive payment from you for the services we provide.  Should you fail to provide this information, we would not be able to deliver the contracted services.

 

Sharing your information with others

 

We do not sell your personal data.  We may share your personal data with another party, including bookkeepers, other accountants, HMRC, Companies House, banks, lenders, financial and mortgage advisers, letting and reference agents, so long as we are able to determine that the other party is acting on your behalf.  We may also share your personal data with our card payment services provider to enable us to take payment from you by debit or credit card.

 

How long your information is kept

 

We keep your personal data only for as long as necessary.  Law dictates that your accounts and taxation information is kept for a minimum of 6 years, this law overrides GDPR.  Payment information is not held after payment is made.

 

Your rights

 

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

 

-     Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a ‘data subject access request’).  This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

-     Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.  This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

-     Request erasure of your personal data.  This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us to continue to hold or process it.  Please note we are required by law to keep accounting and taxation records for 6 years.  You also have the right to ask us to remove or delete your personal data where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

-     Object to processing of your personal data in particular ways, including processing based on the lawful basis of legitimate interests and direct marketing.  Diane Hudson Accountancy Ltd does not use your data for direct marketing.

-     Request the restriction of processing of your personal data.  This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal data about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

-     Request the transfer of your personal data to yourself or another party in a safe secure way, without affecting its usability, for example in a format that is structured, commonly used, and machine-readable.

 

Please note that the above rights are not absolute, and we may be entitled to refuse requests where exceptions apply.  Further details regarding these rights can be found on the Information Commissioner’s Office website:
