Privacy Policy

AccSource

Zanida Nominees Pty Ltd trading as AccSource is fully committed to the Australian privacy legislation in the way it collects, uses, secures, transfers and discloses personal information. The privacy and confidentiality of all personal information is of paramount importance to us at all times.

We have created this Privacy & Security Policy as a summary of the guidelines under which we operate, as well as for our clients’ information in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to the principles of privacy protection, confidentiality and security.

AccSource is committed to the Privacy Act and the National Privacy Principles (NPP's) of Australia.

The Information we collect

• AccSource collects personal information (Information) in various circumstances and in various forms.

• By the very nature of the accounting and taxation work we perform, we will be provided with personal information relating to clients and their family members, suppliers and customers, business partners, contactors, agents, etc. All this information is supplied to us by our clients or, in some circumstances, by other providers authorized by our clients.

• The Information we collect and hold will depend on the nature of the particular services we provide to a client. In addition to basic identity and contact details (such as name, address, age, phone numbers, email address, education, qualifications, etc) we will collect and store other personal information such as income, personal and business expenditure, as well as employment history.

How we use Information

• We use personal information primarily to be able to properly provide the professional services we have been contracted to provide for our clients. Without access to this Information, we will not be able to provide our accounting and taxation services.

• We do not collect Information that is irrelevant or unnecessary to our business.

• If at any time AccSource is required by law to release Information, AccSource must co-operate fully with the relevant authorities.

• The contact details (First and last name, email address and phone number) that you provide to us when you submit the Conversion form are only used to contact you during the Conversion. Your contact details will never be shared with any other third parties.

• The Personal Data information that is contained in the Source data file is only used for the purpose of our Conversion service. It is only shared with Intuit, during the Conversion process, and the result of the Conversion will be stored in Intuit servers.

• We will unconditionally not sell, rent, trade, swap or otherwise supply to any third parties any personal information obtained from you, other than as explained in this Privacy Policy.

• In cases where there are technical issues with the import of your file, AccSource may be required to work directly with Intuit in the resolution of the technical issues in order to move your data online. In this case, AccSource will, as required, share the source data file with Intuit technical staff in order to resolve the technical issue. In uploading your file through our site, you confirm and acknowledge that we might be required to share the source data file with Intuit technical staff.

Data retention

• The contact details (First and last name, email address and phone number) that you provide to us when you fill the form will be stored securely to ensure that we are able to assist if you contact us even after the Conversion is complete.

At your request, we will have any reference to you deleted or anonymized in our database.

• AccSource will deal with all requests for access, correction or deletion of personal information in a prompt and timely manner, and will not charge for these services.

Data Controller and Data Processor

• Because AccSource is mandated by Intuit to process (using tools provided by Intuit) Source Data files for Conversion into Intuit, AccSource is not acting in the capacity of data controller in terms of the GDPR and does not have the associated responsibilities. AccSource should be considered only as a processor on behalf of Intuit as to any Source Data files containing Personal Data that is subject to the requirements of GDPR.

• The Client and Intuit are the data controller under the Directive for any Source Data file containing Personal Data, meaning that such party controls the manner such Personal Data is collected and used as well as the determination of the purposes and means of the processing of such Personal Data.

• AccSource is not responsible for the content of the Personal Data contained in the Source Data files stored on its servers at the discretion of the Client.

• We store, transfer and transmit Information in electronic and printed form and have security measures in place designed to protect against the loss, misuse and/or alteration of the Information under our control.

• Information in electronic form is stored and transmitted via our professionally managed computer system and communications network which makes use of modern systems protection technology and equipment.

• Because we are making use of the internet in order to communicate with clients, we encrypt or scramble sensitive document and file transfers so that they can not be intercepted and read or understood by any third party. To do this, we make use of 128/256-bit SSL encryption technology, the same as used by many large and reputable organizations that conduct business over the internet, including banks, airlines, and the retail giants in Australia and overseas.

• You will know when the information being sent between us is being encrypted, by the presence of the "key" or "lock" symbol in your browser screen. We automatically trigger SSL encryption when clients, suppliers and staff log into and use the Members area of our website, including during the transmission of source document files and completed work files.

• SSL encryption is simply intended to help ensure that your experience with AccSource is always safe and secure.

• You should note that general email communications may be subject to the same security risks as when you contact anyone else by email. For this reason, you should not include confidential information in any email to any person (and not just us). If you wish to securely communicate confidential information to us by email, we are happy to accommodate this if you can contact us in advance.

• We have a variety of additional physical security measures in place to protect personal information and client confidentiality:
  - our staff are assigned to work on specific clients and only have access to files and information relevant to their allocated clients
  - under no circumstances are staff allowed to remove client documentation in any form from our offices
  - our office computers have had their USB ports removed or disabled, so that personal information can not be copied to removable media
  - confidential waste paper is shredded in house, and under supervision

• Our Operations Centre in Chennai City, India occupies professionally managed office facilities on a par with Western standards. The building and our offices are covered by 24/7 security personnel.

NPP 9 – Cross-border transfer of personal information

• Personal information may be sent outside of Australia under the National Privacy Principles, and Section 9 provides guidelines on these activities.

• Part of this provision is that Information may be sent overseas if the receiving organization is bound under contract to the National Privacy Principles. AccSource fully complies with the National Privacy Principles without exception, and we make this written commitment in all our client contracts and appointment letters.
