What this privacy page covers
This privacy page explains the main data areas visitors and prospective clients should understand: contact information, enquiry details, business/accounting context, website data, retention, sharing and individual rights.
Information categories
- Contact details from phone, email or approved enquiry routes.
- Business and accounting information supplied by prospects or clients.
- Website analytics or cookie information if tracking is enabled.
- Professional-service records needed for compliance, engagement management and HMRC/accounting work.
Important boundary
The public website is not a place to upload sensitive accounting records. Bank data, payroll data, tax records and client documents should only be shared through approved secure routes agreed with Gardian Accounting.
Keeping information appropriate
- Use the enquiry route for contact details and a short summary of the issue.
- Avoid sending unnecessary sensitive documents until Gardian confirms the right process.
- Ask Gardian which secure route to use before sharing payroll, tax or client records.
