Privacy, Ethics & Payment Requests

This page sets out the client protection standards applied by Taxorithm Holdings in relation to personal information, professional conduct, confidential engagements, payment requests, invoice verification and billing communication.

How we collect, use and protect client information.

Taxorithm Holdings may process client information for professional engagement purposes, regulatory compliance, communication, billing, advisory delivery, audit support, forensic review, tax assistance and technology-related services.

1. Information we may collect

Depending on the nature of the engagement, we may collect:

  • Client names, contact details, addresses and business registration information.
  • Tax, accounting, payroll, financial, corporate, audit and compliance records.
  • Identity verification documents where required for compliance or engagement acceptance.
  • Technical information submitted through website forms, email, telephone, WhatsApp or consultation channels.

2. Purpose of processing

Client data is processed for legitimate and professional purposes, including:

  • Responding to enquiries and preparing engagement proposals.
  • Delivering tax, advisory, audit, forensic, accounting, data and technology services.
  • Preparing invoices, maintaining client records and managing payments.
  • Meeting legal, regulatory, ethical, risk management and professional obligations.

3. Confidentiality and access control

Client information is treated as confidential. Access is limited to authorised persons who require the information for service delivery, quality control, billing, risk management or legal compliance.

4. Disclosure of information

We do not sell client information. Information may only be disclosed where:

  • The client has authorised the disclosure.
  • Disclosure is required by law, regulation, court order or competent authority.
  • Disclosure is necessary to professional advisers, service providers or systems used for secure service delivery.
  • Disclosure is required to protect rights, prevent fraud or respond to suspected unlawful conduct.

5. Data security

Reasonable administrative, technical and organisational safeguards are applied to protect personal information against unauthorised access, misuse, loss, alteration or disclosure. No online transmission method is completely risk-free, and clients should avoid sending highly sensitive documents through unsecured channels.

6. Retention of information

Records are retained for as long as necessary for engagement delivery, tax, accounting, audit, legal, regulatory, dispute resolution, professional liability and business administration purposes. When information is no longer required, it may be securely deleted, archived or anonymised.

7. Client rights and corrections

Clients may request access to their information, correction of inaccurate information, withdrawal from non-essential communications or clarification on how their information is used, subject to legal, professional and contractual limits.

8. Website forms and email communication

Information submitted through website forms is used to respond to enquiries and manage client communication. Clients should not submit passwords, card numbers, banking PINs or highly sensitive documents through public website forms.
