PRIVACY POLICY

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION

Any information that you provide to Accounting Standards Academy, whether on any forms you complete or through the use of any of Accounting Standards Academy’s services or facilities, will be regarded by Accounting Standards Academy as personal information.

Any information about what you buy, where you shop, where you bank, how you invest and all related information will also be regarded as personal information.

In short, any information that Accounting Standards Academy knows about you will be regarded as your personal information.

HOW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ACADEMY COLLECTS YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

To make your use of Accounting Standards Academy as successful and pleasurable as possible, it is necessary for us to find out exactly what you need and want from us. One of the ways Accounting Standards Academy can do this is by collecting and analysing your personal information to ensure that we meet your needs.

Whenever you use this website, contact Accounting Standards Academy, or use one of the services or facilities offered by Accounting Standards Academy, Accounting Standards Academy will collect any information which Accounting Standards Academy has about you.

Accounting Standards Academy may also get information about you from other sources, such as from third parties where you shop, bank or invest, business partners, subsidiaries and affiliates.

HOW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ACADEMY USES YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

To ensure that Accounting Standards Academy always meets your needs, Accounting Standards Academy will use your personal information in any way that Accounting Standards Academy thinks might assist or benefit you. Accounting Standards Academy may, therefore, combine all the information that we have about you to compile a profile of you to personalise and tailor services to your special needs.

Accounting Standards Academy will also use your personal information in the ordinary course of its business.

Because Accounting Standards Academy does not want you to miss out on any of the great deals or promotions that Accounting Standards Academy may have, or that any third party may have from time to time, Accounting Standards Academy may use your personal information for promotions and marketing. Accounting Standards Academy may send you promotional material or details by e-mail, SMS or post to update you and keep you fully advised of any promotions, news, competitions or developments which we think may be of interest to you. If any of this information relates to products, promotions, news or services of a third party and if you indicate that you would like more details, it may inform the third party to contact you directly. Accounting Standards Academy will only send you such material or inform a third party to contact you directly if you indicated that this is agreeable to you when you registered with Accounting Standards Academy or at any other time. You can inform Accounting Standards Academy if you change your mind later.

Accounting Standards Academy may also use your personal information for service updates and to notify you of new features or changes that may be made to this website.

To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to protect the information we collect online, including SSL and Thawte security for credit card submissions.

Accounting Standards Academy may utilise the contact information you provided at registration, such as your telephone number and e-mail address, to contact you regarding account status, changes to the terms and conditions, and to confirm registration.

Your privacy is important to us. Accounting Standards Academy will therefore not sell, rent or provide your personal information to unauthorised entities or third parties for their independent use without your consent. Accounting Standards Academy will, however, share your personal information with business partners. Should Accounting Standards Academy pass your personal information on to others, Accounting Standards Academy will make them aware of the provisions of this privacy policy. Inform Accounting Standards Academy if you no longer wish us to disclose your information in this way.

Accounting Standards Academy will always strive to make everything it does lawful and legitimate. Therefore, Accounting Standards Academy will release your personal information to a party if it believes that Accounting Standards Academy is required by law or by a court to do so. Accounting Standards Academy will also disclose your personal information if Accounting Standards Academy believes that it is necessary to prevent or lessen any unlawful or harmful actions and to protect and defend legitimate business interests, rights or property of Accounting Standards Academy.

Accounting Standards Academy will always ask for your permission before it uses your personal information for any purpose not disclosed above.

PROTECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Accounting Standards Academy values the information that you choose to provide to us and will, therefore, take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration.

When you use the services or facilities provided by Accounting Standards Academy, you may be given a username and password. You must always keep your username and password a secret and ensure that you do not disclose it to anyone.

Upon your request, Accounting Standards Academy will provide you with its records of the personal information you gave us at registration. For security reasons, this information will only be supplied to the e-mail address on file for the subscriber username and password associated with it.
