Privacy Policy

Stapleton Tax & Accounting is committed to complying with the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 which commenced on 21 December 2001. These laws regulate such matters as the way organisations collect, use, disclose, keep secure and give people access to personal information.

This Corporate Privacy Policy sets out the principles Stapleton Tax & Accounting has adopted in order to ensure protection of personal information pertaining to persons external to the company.

Collecting Information
In the course of our business we collect and hold personal information. Stapleton Tax & Accounting will only collect information that is necessary for and relevant to our business functions or activities. We will collect personal information in a lawful and non-obtrusive way.

Use and disclosure
Stapleton Tax & Accounting will only use and disclose personal information for the purpose for which it was collected and will only disclose such information in accordance with the Privacy Act.

Stapleton Tax & Accounting may disclose personal information:

  • For the purposes for which we have advised that we are collecting it;
  • For related purposes that the individual would reasonably expect;
  • Where we have the consent of the individual to do so; and
  • As required by law.


Accuracy
Stapleton Tax & Accounting will take all reasonable steps to ensure that data we collect, use or disclose, is accurate, complete and up to date and has been obtained directly from individuals. Security and access data storage and security is taken seriously - our company is committed to keeping personal information secure and will take all reasonable precautions to protect any information held.

Only information that to the best of our knowledge is accurate and current will be retained on site. Individuals are generally allowed access to the personal information held by the company that relates directly to them, subject to some exceptions allowed by law. Access is usually granted within normal business hours, subject to reasonable notice and availability of records, giving consideration to business demands. If a request for access is denied we will let the individual know the reasons for the denial. Generally this will only be in cases where providing access would be unlawful or not within the realms of the legislation.
