What we collect

Information you give us so we can do the work: contact details, income and expense records, tax slips, and identifiers such as a social insurance number or business number where a filing requires one. We collect it directly from you, or from CRA under an authorisation you have signed.

Why we collect it

To prepare and file returns, keep books, run payroll, and represent you with CRA and Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration. We do not use your information for anything else, and we do not sell it.

Who we share it with

CRA and provincial tax authorities as required to file on your behalf. Our accounting and payroll software providers, who process data on our instructions. Messages sent through the contact form on this website are delivered to us by a third-party form service and are not stored on this website. Nobody else, unless you ask us to or the law requires it.

How it is held

Documents are exchanged through a secure client portal rather than email attachment. Access inside the firm is limited to people who need it for your work.

How long we keep it

As long as needed to serve you and to meet the record-retention periods CRA requires, which is generally six years from the end of the tax year the records relate to.

Your rights

You can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, and withdraw consent for uses beyond what a filing obligation requires. Write to us at the address above.

Complaints

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your information, you can contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta.
