Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use this website or engage us for a filing or advisory service.
Last updated: 28 August 2026
Draft notice: This is a first draft prepared for review, not a finished legal document. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer or a compliance professional, and it must be before this page goes live. Every placeholder in [square brackets] needs a real value filled in first.
Who We Are
Accounts Filing ("we", "us", "our") is a business services and compliance facilitation platform operated by [Legal Entity Name], helping individuals and businesses across India with tax filing, GST compliance, company registration, and related advisory services. This policy explains what personal data we collect through this website and our services, why we collect it, and the choices you have.
What We Collect
Depending on the service you engage us for, we may collect:
- Contact details — name, phone number, email address, and WhatsApp number
- Identity and tax information — PAN, Aadhaar, GSTIN, and similar government-issued identifiers, only where a filing requires them
- Financial documents — bank statements, invoices, Form 16, financial statements, and other records you share with us for a specific filing or advisory service
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, and pages visited on this website, collected automatically for basic analytics
We collect only what a specific filing or service actually requires — we do not ask for documents unrelated to the service you've engaged us for.
How We Use It
Your information is used to: prepare and file the returns, registrations, or responses you've engaged us for; communicate with you about your filing or query, including over WhatsApp and email; and meet our own record-keeping obligations under applicable law. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your financial documents for any purpose beyond the service you've asked for.
Sharing With Government Portals and Third Parties
Filing on your behalf necessarily means submitting your information to the relevant government system — the GST portal, the income-tax e-filing portal, the MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) portal, and similar. We share information with these systems only as required to complete the specific filing you've asked for. We do not share your data with any other third party for marketing purposes, and any service provider we do use (for example, cloud storage or communication tools) is contractually required to protect your data.
Data Retention
We retain your documents and filing records for as long as needed to provide the service, meet our own statutory record-keeping obligations (which for tax and compliance records can run several years under Indian law), and resolve any dispute. You can ask us to delete data we're not legally required to keep — see "Your Rights" below.
Your Rights Under the DPDP Act
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), you have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; ask us to correct or update inaccurate data; withdraw consent for processing, where consent is the basis for it; ask us to erase data we're not otherwise required to retain; and register a grievance if you believe we've mishandled your data. To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below.
Cookies
This website uses basic cookies to remember your preferences and understand how visitors use the site. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from contacting us or using our services.
WhatsApp and Communication
We communicate with many clients over WhatsApp for convenience. Messages and documents you send us this way are handled under this same policy. Please avoid sending sensitive passwords or portal login credentials over any messaging channel — we will never ask for them.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access or loss. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we treat your financial and personal information with the same care we'd want for our own.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time as our services or applicable law change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of our services after a change means you accept the updated policy.
