We reserve the right to change or update from time to time any of the following statements. Such changes will become effective when published and you should therefore periodically review this page to ensure familiarity with the most updated version of the privacy policy.
1. Information We Collect From You
When registering an account, accounting professionals will be asked to provide personal information, including name, email address, and qualification level.

We may use the information collected from you on registration in the following ways:
- In the case of an accounting professional, to inform you about new job postings which may be of interest to you
- To inform you about changes or new features being added to the website
- To process orders and send documentation related to transactions made via the site
- To allow us to personalise your experience and deliver the type of content in which you are most interested when visiting the site.
3. Disclosing Personal Information
The personal information of an accounting professional will only be made available to an employer when he/she applies for an accounting job. In such a case, you recognise that your information may become part of that client’s database. Consequently, the use of such information by the client will be subject to the privacy policy of that firm.
Other than instances where accounting professionals opt to make available their information via a job application, we do not sell or otherwise make available to third parties any personal information that is held on our records.
4. Security
We make use of appropriate technical, organisational and administrative security measures to protect any information that is held in our records from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
Whilst all due care is taken to ensure the privacy and integrity of that personal information that is provided to us, we recognise that no data transmission over the internet can be 100% guaranteed as secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted through any online means and therefore any transmission remains at your own risk.
