How we protect your information

We have put in place the appropriate processes for the collection, storage and processing of data to protect you against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your personal information, payment information and data stored on the Website. Sensitive and private data exchange between the Website and its Users takes place through a secure socket layer (SSL) communication channel.

Processing of personal data in our newsletter

If you have signed up for the newsletter, you have consented to being contacted by us via e-mail with newsletters and offers. We store your email address and the details of your purchases in our system until it is no longer relevant. In other words, until you make us aware that you no longer wish to receive emails from us.

You can always withdraw your consent. You can do this either by using the link at the bottom of our emails or by contacting us at ab@taxhelper.io and stating that you no longer wish to receive our newsletters and offers.

Sharing your personal information

We do not sell nor rent Users' personal information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information that is not connected to any personal information related to visitors and Users with our business partners, affiliates and advertisers for purposes, as well as other sharing as described above.

Data retention

Data is stored for as long as it serves its original purpose, but never more than a maximum of 5 years after the end of the customer relationship, if it is a legal requirement (e.g. for the Company's own financial reporting). In most cases, however, data is automatically deleted earlier than the maximum 5 years when it no longer serves its original purpose. For example, data for prior tax years is automatically deleted when the reporting deadline to the HMRC has expired. When the User deletes their account, all data that the Company is not obliged to keep is deleted. For example, the Company is obliged to keep the data underlying reporting activities to the HMRC, whereas data that has not been reported is automatically deleted.

We do not control the content or links that appear on these pages and are not responsible for the policies put in place by websites that link to or are linked from the Website. In addition thereto, these websites or services, including their content and links, may change regularly. These websites and services may have their own privacy and service policies. Using the search tool and other interactions with other websites, including websites sharing links to the Website, are subject to that particular website's own terms and policies.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We have the right to update this privacy policy at any time. When we do this, we will change the date of the last update at the bottom of this page. We encourage Users to regularly check this page for changes to be aware of how we help protect the personal information we collect. In the case of major changes, these will be communicated to users by email.

The right to be forgotten
