Privacy Policy
Website Privacy Statement
Under the Data Protection Act and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), we have a legal duty to protect any personal information that we collect from you.
Wildes Accountants does not capture and store any personal information about individuals who access this website, except where you voluntarily choose to give us your personal details via email or telephone to enquire about any of our services. In these circumstances, any personal information you supply will only be used to provide the information or service that you have requested under a separate off-line engagement letter. Personal information is not disclosed to third parties unless requested by you, or as required by law.
This website does not use cookies.
Email Security
Please note that unless encrypted, email messages sent via the internet may not be secure and could be intercepted and read and even edited by someone else. Please bear this in mind when deciding whether to include personal or sensitive information in any email messages that you send.
General Privacy Statement
Once we are formally appointed under a letter of engagement, we collect and process data from you to provide the services requested and to communicate with you. Relevant data is shared with the relevant authority, such as HMRC or Companies House, after you have approved it for submission. It may also be shared with mortgage advisors or other parties following a verbal request from you confirmed in writing. It may be shared with software providers in order to provide the services that you need.
Personal data is kept securely and will be checked regularly to ensure that it is still up-to-date. However, we shall be grateful if you will also ensure that you keep us updated with any changes to your personal details.
Sensitive data is now normally shared with you via a secure portal or by post. Data that you request to be sent by email may be anonymised.
You have many rights over your personal data. You can request access to it, reuse it, correct it if necessary and/or object to it being processed. You can withdraw consent and ask for it to be deleted in certain circumstances. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner if you are dissatisfied.
The data that we collect is kept for seven years in line with ACCA guidelines and is then destroyed unless it contains permanent or long-term information. Records over three years old may be converted to electronic files.
We do not carry out any marketing but we do send out Newsletters to current clients with important tax and other relevant updates and a budget leaflet showing the new tax rates and planning points if you have expressed an interest.
