Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [15/05/2025]

At O’Brien’s Bookkeeping, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we need it, and how we protect it. No jargon — just straight talk.

1. What We Collect

We only ask for what’s necessary to do our job:

• Contact details (name, email, phone) to communicate with you.

• Business/financial info (receipts, invoices, tax IDs) to handle your bookkeeping.

• Website usage data (via cookies) to improve your experience (e.g., Google Analytics).

2. How We Use Your Data

• To provide bookkeeping, payroll, or tax services you’ve requested.

• To send reminders (e.g., VAT deadlines) or helpful resources.

• Never for spam, ads, or selling to third parties.

3. Data Sharing

We’ll never share your details unless:

• You ask us to (e.g., with your accountant).

• Required by law (e.g., Revenue audits).

• Trusted partners need it to perform services (e.g., payroll software). They’re bound by confidentiality too.

4. Security

• All data is encrypted and stored securely.

• We use password-protected systems (like Xero/Sage) and limit staff access.

5. Your Rights

You can:

• Request a copy of your data we hold.

• Ask us to delete or correct it (unless legally required to keep it).

• Opt out of non-essential emails (e.g., newsletters).

6. Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies to function (e.g., login sessions). You can block them in browser settings, but some features may not work.

7. Changes to This Policy

Updates will be posted here. We’ll notify you if they’re major.
