How does Company Suggestion handle personal information?

Company Suggestion does not sell or rent your personal information or your tax-return information.

This policy covers companysuggestion.com and the services that link to it. It was first published on 24 May 2020. Changes are posted on this page.

What information is collected?

If you ask for a service, the firm asks for your name, address, telephone number and email so it can maintain your account and confirm payment details.

A filing may also need income, deduction and dependent details. That is tax-return information, and it is used to prepare or file the return.

A visit to the site can record the pages you open, the browser type and the IP address that the browser sends.

How is that information used?

The firm uses it to run your account, contact you, deliver the service you asked for, and charge for that service.

Combined usage figures are used to understand the site. Those figures are collected so they do not identify a person.

A service company may process information for the firm. That company may not use it for its own marketing.

The firm may disclose information when the law requires it, such as a court order or a regulator's request.

Does the firm sell personal information?

No. Personal information and tax-return information are not sold, rented or shared for someone else's marketing.

How is the information protected?

The firm uses security safeguards and trains staff to protect personal and tax-return information.

When the site asks you to send tax-return or card details, the transmission is encrypted.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small file a site stores in the browser so it can recognise that browser later.

This site uses cookies to remember a visit and to understand which pages are used. Some page features need cookies. You can refuse cookies in the browser, and some features may then stop working.

Another site's cookie can also appear on a page. Company Suggestion does not control that cookie.

What happens during income-tax e-filing?

If Company Suggestion e-files your return as an e-return intermediary, it may add you as a client, retrieve return information, and use the e-filing access needed to submit the return.
