Privacy Policy

It is McCann Accounting policy to respect your privacy. 

This Privacy Policy applies to mccannaccounting.com.au (also referred to as “us”, “we”, “McCann Accounting”, or “Website”). The words “you”, “user” or “your” means you, the visitor of our Website. We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain how we handle your personal information.

Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, McCann Accounting collects information that is not personal information such as browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. McCann Accounting’s purpose in collecting this information is to better understand how McCann Accounting visitors use the Website. Please see our Cookies policy below for more details. 

McCann Accounting also collects information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of users. This information could potentially identify you and we will handle this information in the same way we handle personal information as described below.

Collecting personal information

You can browse our Website anonymously. However, certain visitors to our Website may choose to interact with us in ways that require us to collect their personal information. The amount and type of information that McCann Accounting collects depends on the nature of the interaction. At all times we try to only collect the information we need for the service we are providing. 

The main way we collect personal information about you is when you give it to us, for example:

  • when you provide your name and email address to comment on a blog 
  • when you contact us
  • when you ask to access information we hold about you

For compliance purposes, we may keep any of your personal information for a period of seven years, although we are not obliged to do so.

Collecting sensitive information

We do not actively collect sensitive information about you, including information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or criminal history. We will take steps to appropriately protect any sensitive information we do receive. 

Disclosure

The information we collect about you is used only to providing you with our services.

We provide access to your personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

We may share your personal information with our professional advisors to obtain advice, or for compliance with our accounting or legal obligations.  

Security and overseas recipients

No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information and aim to ensure our third-party providers use similar care with your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security and your personal information is stored with us at your own risk.

We take reasonable steps to protect all personal information within our direct control from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, unlawful or accidental destruction, modification or disclosure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure we use respected hosting services.

Using the Internet to collect and process personal information involves the transmission of data on an international basis. We also rely on reputable third-party providers to store the information you have provided to us securely, which means your data may cross international borders. You agree to us transferring your personal information across international borders this way. 

Links to external sites

Our Website contains links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third-party’s site.

We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites.

McCann Accounting may collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors to the Website. McCann Accounting may display this information publicly or provide it to others. For example, McCann Accounting may publish how many readers we have of a popular blog post.
