Privacy policy
A H Law Accounting & SMSF Auditing is operated by Howarth Law Pty Ltd. We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what we do with it.
What we collect
Your name and contact details, and the information about your self managed super fund that we need to do our work. That can include financial statements, member and trustee details, investment records and, where the law requires it, tax file numbers.
How we collect it
Mostly from you directly, or from your accountant or adviser when they send us your fund's file. We also receive whatever you send through this website's contact form or by email.
How we use it
To carry out audits, prepare accounts and set up funds, to reply to your enquiries, and to meet our legal and professional obligations. We don't sell personal information, and we don't pass it to anyone for their marketing.
Who we share it with
The ATO and other regulators where the law requires us to. Your accountant or adviser, where you have asked us to work with them. And the providers of the software and IT services we use to do the work, who are required to keep it confidential.
Tax file numbers
We only collect and use tax file numbers where the law allows, and we handle them in line with the Privacy (Tax File Number) Rule 2015.
Keeping it safe
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. Records are kept for as long as the law and professional standards require, then securely destroyed.
Seeing or correcting your information
You can ask to see the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by contacting Adrian on 0407 714 784 or at adrian@law-smsf.com.au.
Complaints
If you're unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can put it right. If you're still not satisfied, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
