Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 June 2026

01 Who we are

This privacy policy explains how MSA Accountants ("we", "us", "our"), a UK accountancy practice, collects, uses and protects your personal information through the website myaccountingtools.co.uk and our calculators and tools.

MSA Accountants is the data controller responsible for your personal data. Our business address is 5 Foxglove House, Ivy Close, Crookham Village, Fleet, Hampshire, GU51 5EU.

We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under registration reference ZB346645.

02 What information we collect

Our calculators are designed to run in your browser, and most figures you enter are not sent to us. We collect personal data only in the following cases:

Information you give us

  • Your name, email address and message when you contact us by email or use our contact form.

Information collected automatically

  • Basic technical data — such as your IP address, browser type and device — that our website host automatically logs to keep the site secure and running. We do not use third-party analytics or tracking tools.
  • Cookie and similar identifiers (see Cookies & analytics below).

03 How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to enquiries and provide support when you contact us.
  • Operate, maintain and improve our website and tools.
  • Understand how our tools are used so we can make them better.
  • Keep the site secure and prevent abuse.
  • Comply with our legal obligations as a firm of accountants.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use the figures you type into our calculators for any purpose beyond returning your result.

05 Cookies & analytics

Cookies are small files stored on your device. We use:

  • Essential cookies needed for the site to function. These do not require consent.
  • We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.

06 Sharing & third-party services

We never sell your data. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run the site, and only as far as needed. These may include:

  • Our website host (Netlify, Inc.), which serves the site and logs basic technical and security data.
  • Our email & domain provider (Webador), used to receive and respond to enquiries you send us.

Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or adequacy regulations) to protect it.

07 How long we keep it

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes set out above, then delete or anonymise it. Contact enquiries are typically retained for 24 months, after which they are deleted.

08 Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Ask us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Restrict or object to our processing.
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
  • Withdraw consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@myaccountingtools.co.uk. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK's data protection regulator.

09 Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10 Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
