Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Arif Soomro ("we", "us") collects, uses, shares, stores and protects personal information when you use this website or engage our finance, accounting, taxation, reporting, administrative and HR support services. Services are delivered remotely to clients in the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

1. Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to respond to your enquiry and deliver the services you request.

  • Contact details you submit: name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number.
  • Enquiry details: the service you are interested in, your jurisdiction, and the message or notes you provide.
  • Consultation booking details: your preferred date and time slot.
  • Engagement records: documents, ledgers, statements, tax data and supporting records you share with us in order for the work to be performed.

2. How we use your information

We do not sell your personal information and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.

  • To reply to enquiries, quote for work and schedule consultations.
  • To prepare bookkeeping, financial statements, tax computations and filing support.
  • To keep records of the work performed, as required for professional and regulatory purposes.
  • To send you service-related messages by email or WhatsApp about your engagement.

3. Legal bases and multi-jurisdiction handling

Where the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 apply, we process personal data on the basis of your consent (enquiries), the performance of a contract (engagements), and our legal obligations (record keeping).

Clients in the United States, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are handled to the same standard, alongside any local requirements that apply to their records, including UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on personal data protection and the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law where relevant.

Because services are delivered online, your information may be processed outside your own country. We apply the same confidentiality and security standards wherever the data is handled.

4. Sharing and disclosure

  • With tax authorities, filing portals or third-party platforms only where you instruct us to file or submit on your behalf.
  • With service providers that host this website and its database, under confidentiality obligations.
  • Where disclosure is required by law, regulation or a competent authority.

5. Retention

Enquiry and booking records are kept only as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of the engagement. Accounting and tax records are retained for the period required in the relevant jurisdiction, after which they are deleted or securely destroyed. You may ask us at any time what we hold for you.

6. Security

Website submissions are transmitted over encrypted connections and stored in an access-controlled database. Access to client records is limited to those who need it to perform the work. No online transmission is ever completely risk-free, so please avoid sending highly sensitive credentials such as portal passwords by email.

7. Your rights

To exercise any of these, contact us using the details below. We aim to respond within 30 days.

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Ask us to delete information we are not legally required to retain.
  • Withdraw consent to further contact at any time.
  • Object to or restrict certain processing, where the applicable law provides that right.

8. Cookies

This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies. Only the storage strictly needed to operate the site is used.

9. Children

This website and these services are intended for adults and for businesses. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our services or the applicable rules change. The version published on this page is the current one.
