Privacy Policy

How we handle your personal information — in plain English, as you'd expect.

Last updated: 24 July 2026. This policy explains how HK Accountax Ltd (“we”, “us”) collects and uses your personal data when you use this website or engage our services. We are the data controller.

Who we are

HK Accountax Ltd, 16 Crendon Street, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, HP13 6LW, United Kingdom. You can reach us at admin@hkaccountax.com or 01494 451 243.

What we collect

  • Contact details you give us — such as your name, email, phone number and the message you send through our contact or callback forms.
  • Client information — if you become a client, the financial and identity information we need to deliver our services and meet our legal obligations.
  • Technical data — with your consent, anonymised analytics about how the site is used (see our Cookie Policy).

How we use it, and our lawful basis

  • To reply to your enquiry — lawful basis: your consent and our legitimate interest in responding to you.
  • To provide our services — lawful basis: performance of our contract with you, and compliance with our legal obligations (for example, anti-money-laundering and tax law).
  • To improve the website — lawful basis: your consent, given through our cookie banner.

Who we share it with

We never sell your data. We share it only where necessary: with HMRC and Companies House to file on your behalf; with trusted software providers (such as our cloud accounting and email systems) acting as our processors under contract; and where the law requires it. All processors are bound to keep your data secure.

How long we keep it

We keep enquiry data for up to 24 months, unless you become a client. Client records are kept for at least six years after our engagement ends, in line with HMRC and professional requirements, then securely deleted.

Where your data is stored

Your data is stored on secure systems within the UK or European Economic Area wherever possible. Where a provider processes data outside the UK/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards (such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement) are in place.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to access your data, to correct it, to erase it, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. To exercise any of these, email admin@hkaccountax.com and we'll respond within one month.

How we protect your data

We use encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and the security standards expected of an ACCA member firm. Our forms are protected against spam and abuse.

Complaints

We'd always rather you came to us first. But you also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.

In our clients' words

Relationships that outlast the tax year

We came to HK Accountax mid-panic before a VAT deadline and left with a plan, a proper system, and a lot less dread. Pankaj explains things without making you feel daft.
S Sarah T.
E-commerce Founder, Marlow
Switching over was painless — they sorted everything with our old accountant. Now we actually get told about tax bills in advance instead of the week they're due.
J James R.
Director, Facilities Company
My self-assessment used to eat a whole weekend. Now I send my figures over and it's done properly, on time, with reliefs I didn't even know I could claim.
A Aisha K.
Freelance Consultant, High Wycombe
Straight-talking, quick to reply, and genuinely on our side. It feels like having a finance person in the family rather than a faceless firm.
M Mark & Lucy P.
Landlords, Buckinghamshire
They set up our company, got us on Xero, and mapped out the whole first-year compliance calendar. Exactly the steady hand a new business needs.
