Privacy Policy
1. About this policy
Steady Ledger Co. respects the privacy of clients, prospective clients, suppliers and website visitors. This policy explains the kinds of personal information we may collect, why we collect it, how we use and disclose it, and how to contact us about privacy.
2. Information we may collect
Depending on the relationship, we may collect names, contact details, business and entity information, identification details where reasonably required, accounting and financial records, invoices, payroll-related information, bank-account details, communications, website enquiry information and technical information generated through our website or systems. We do not need or want clients to send internet-banking passwords.
3. Why we collect and use information
We may use information to respond to enquiries, assess and establish engagements, provide agreed bookkeeping and business-finance services, communicate with clients, invoice and collect fees, maintain records, manage security and risk, comply with legal/professional obligations and improve our services.
4. How information is collected
Information may be collected directly from you, from people you authorise, from your accounting or business systems, from your accountant or adviser with authority, through our website forms, and from lawful public sources where reasonably necessary.
5. Disclosure and service providers
We may disclose information to service providers reasonably required to operate the practice or deliver services, such as accounting software, secure cloud storage, document management, email, e-signature, payment and IT/security providers. Where client information is disclosed in connection with regulated BAS services, Steady Ledger Co. will also comply with applicable TPB confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information where required or authorised by law.
6. Overseas storage or access
Some technology providers may store or process information outside Australia. Before first use of this policy, Steady Ledger Co. should insert the countries or provider-specific disclosures required by the actual software stack and applicable law.
7. Security
We take reasonable steps appropriate to the size and nature of the practice to protect information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Security measures may include access controls, multi-factor authentication, secure cloud systems, device security, backups and limiting access to people who need it.
8. Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably required for the purpose collected and to meet legal, professional, insurance and record-keeping obligations. Information no longer required will be securely deleted, destroyed or de-identified where appropriate.
9. Access and correction
You may contact us to request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you. We may need to verify identity before responding. Some legal exceptions may apply.
10. Privacy enquiries and complaints
Privacy questions or complaints may be sent to: Steady Ledger Co., hello@steadyledger.com.au. We will consider and respond to privacy concerns within a reasonable time.
11. Privacy Act status
The Privacy Act 1988 does not apply to every Australian small business. Some small businesses are covered regardless of turnover and other laws or contractual obligations may also apply. Steady Ledger Co. intends to follow this policy as its operational standard, subject to applicable law.
12. Changes
We may update this policy as our services, systems or legal obligations change. The current version will be published on our website with its effective date.
