MAS ACCOUNTANTS
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 23 October 2026
This policy explains how personal information is handled when you visit the MAS Accountants website or contact us about our services.
1. Who we are
MAS Accountants operates the website masaccountants.com. For enquiries about this notice or your personal information, email admin@masaccountants.com.
2. Information we may collect
When you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, telephone number (if supplied), information about your enquiry and any documents or details you choose to provide. Our website and hosting systems may also process technical information such as IP addresses, browser details, request logs and cookie preferences for security and operation.
If you become a client, additional personal and financial information may be required to deliver the agreed services. Relevant engagement documents may provide further privacy information.
3. Why we use your information
We use information to respond to enquiries, communicate with prospective and existing clients, provide requested services, maintain records, protect our website and systems, and meet applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
Depending on the circumstances, our lawful bases under UK data protection law may include taking steps at your request before entering a contract, performing a contract, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in responding to enquiries and operating a secure business. Where consent is legally required, we will seek it.
4. Cookies
The website uses cookies or similar technologies that may be needed for its operation, security and remembering cookie preferences. Other cookies may be used only where appropriate consent has been obtained. A cookie consent banner allows visitors to manage their preferences.
You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality.
5. Sharing and service providers
Information may be processed by providers that support our website hosting, email, security and business administration, where necessary and subject to appropriate safeguards. We may disclose information where required by law or to professional advisers where appropriate. We do not sell personal information.
6. International transfers
Some technology providers may process data outside the UK. Where this occurs, we will seek to ensure that an appropriate legal transfer mechanism or other applicable protection is in place.
7. How long information is kept
We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including any relevant legal, tax, accounting or professional record-keeping requirements. Retention periods vary according to the type of information and our relationship with you.
8. Security
We take reasonable organisational and technical measures to protect information. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please avoid sending bank details, identity documents or sensitive financial records in an initial unencrypted enquiry.
9. Your rights
Subject to applicable law and exemptions, you may have rights to access, correct or erase your personal data; restrict or object to certain processing; and request data portability where applicable. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw that consent.
To exercise your rights, email admin@masaccountants.com. You may also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this notice as our website, services or legal obligations change. The latest version will be published here.
