The information herein is believed to be accurate and reliable, but no warranty to that effect is given by us and its employees. No liability is accepted for any claim in respect of anything and of the consequences of anything done or omitted to be done by any person acting in reliance, whether wholly or partially, upon the contents of this publication.

We respect your privacy and abide by the National Privacy Principles of the Privacy Act 1988 and its amendments.

We collect personal and financial information that is necessary to enable us to provide our professional services to you. Personal information is information or an opinion about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.

We generally collect your personal information directly from you during meetings, over the telephone, or from email or other correspondence. Such information will include your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address. We may also collect sensitive information such as details of memberships of trade, union or professional associations, health and health insurance information. In some cases we may collect personal information from third parties and in such cases we will take reasonable steps to contact you and ensure that you are aware of the purpose of which we are collecting the information and from whom the information is being sourced.

Tsia Partners Pty Ltd is bound by a professional obligation of confidentiality and will continue to treat and protect Information, including personal information in addition to financial and income tax information, which we receive, in accordance with these obligations.

We will use your personal information for the primary purpose that it has been collected and in accordance with the provision of professional services by our firm to you. We may also use your personal information for ancillary purposes including providing you with information on developments in taxation, audit and other financial areas, direct marketing and invoicing.

As part of our professional services we may be required by law to provide your personal information to third parties, including the Australian Taxation Office, Australian Securities and Investment Commission and other government authorities (both Federal and State).

The Accounting Practice Statements of the Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand requires us to make available, on request, certain information to ensure ongoing compliance with mandatory professional standards. Such information may include your personal information.

In the event that you require your personal information held by our firm to be provided by us to third parties, for example financial institutions, such requests must be made with full details and in writing to our firm.

If you provide Tsia Partners Pty Ltd with personal information about someone else you must ensure that you have authority to do so and that that person is aware of our Privacy Policies as disclosed in this statement. Such information will only be held for the purpose collected.

Tsia Partners is required to make sure that the personal information that it collects about you, uses or discloses is accurate and complete and accordingly we request that you advise us of any changes as soon as practicable.

Where you contact us through a form on this website — a fee estimate, a call request or an email address you leave with us — the details you enter are transmitted to and stored by our website and form hosting provider before reaching us. That provider operates servers located outside Australia, including in the United States, which means the information you submit through this website may be disclosed to and stored by an overseas recipient on our behalf.

We ask that you use these forms for initial enquiries only. Please do not submit tax file numbers, financial statements, identity documents or other sensitive material through this website. Once we are engaged, documents are exchanged by email or through a private SharePoint folder set up for you.

Some of our bookkeeping and administrative support is performed by team members located outside Australia. Where that work involves access to your personal information, it is performed under our direction and subject to the same confidentiality obligations that apply to our Australian personnel.

Tsia Partners is committed to ensuring that the personal information we collect is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

We cannot guarantee the security of any information that is transmitted to or by us over the Internet. The transmission and exchange of information is carried out at your own risk. Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that the personal information we collect will not be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

We may, at any time and at our discretion, vary this Privacy Policy by publishing the amended Privacy Policy on our site. We recommend you check our Site regularly to ensure you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.
