Privacy Policy

At Acuity Professional Accountants, we are committed to maintaining the security, confidentiality and accuracy of the personal information we collect, in order to provide the highest level of service to our clients. Our clients' trust is our most important asset and with that in mind, we developed a comprehensive Privacy Policy for handling personally identifying information. Our privacy policy adheres to the guidelines and principals underlying the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

What Does This Policy Cover?

Our privacy policy covers Acuity’s treatment of your personally identifying information when you visit our Web site or when you use our services. Our policy also covers Acuity’s handling of any personally identifying information our business partners share with us, as well as the personally identifying information we share with our business partners.

"Personally identifying information" is any information that can, by its very nature, identify who you are. Examples of this type of information are your name, age, ID numbers, income and ethnic origin, to name a few.

Consent:

If you continue to use our web site or services and/or submit your personal information to Acuity, you consent to the purposes and uses outlined below for which Acuity collects and/or shares your personal information.

What Sort of Information Do We Collect?

You have complete control over your personal information. In general, you can visit our Web site or contact us through other means without providing us with any personal information. There are, however, instances where we may require personal information.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Acuity may only send personally identifiable information about you to other organizations when we have your consent to share the information. We may disclose personal information without consent when required by law, but the information we provide will be limited to only what is legally required.

Aggregating Non- Personally Identifiable Information: IP Addresses and Cookies Anonymous User Browsing: You can visit our Web site without telling us who you are or revealing any information about yourself, including your email address. In this case, our Web server may collect the IP address and domain you used to access our Web site, the type and version of web browser and operating system you are using; the number, duration and frequency of visits to our Web site and the Web site you came from and visit next.

This anonymous information cannot be traced to a specific individual User. It is used by Acuity to measure the number of visits, average time spent, pages viewed, most popular preferences and other statistics about Web site visitors. This allows us to determine the characteristics of Users on Acuity’s Web site and our most popular services. We may use this data to monitor Web site performance for systems administration purposes, to make the Acuity Web site easier and more convenient to use, as well as improving Acuity’s services and tracking visitor information in aggregate form (e.g. the number of visitors using the Web Site).

Security

Acuity has organizational, physical and technological measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse or alteration of personal information under our control. Security practises are also reviewed on a regular basis.
