Privacy Policy Statement
Overview
PKF T R Upadhya & Co. is committed to protecting the privacy of the personal information of its clients, member firms, partners and employees. We value the trust of the public and those we deal with, and recognize that maintaining this trust requires transparency and accountability in how we treat personal information that is shared with us. This Privacy Policy Statement (“Policy”) has been adopted to guide how we collect, use and disclose the personal information acquired in the course of conducting our business and fulfilling our professional responsibilities. This Policy applies only to the specific web-pages of PKF T R Upadhya & Co. This website may contain links to other websites which are not maintained or controlled by this firm, those site are governed by other privacy statements that may differ somewhat and/or contain information.
We encourage users to review the privacy policy of each website they visited before disclosing any personal data. If you have any questions regarding this Policy, please contact us at [email protected]. We adhere to the requirements of the law and our professional standards, and as we conduct our business operations we frequently gather and use personal information. We seek consent to use this information when it is collected and recognize your expectation that it will be carefully protected. Our privacy practices require that we only use personal information outside of the original purpose for which it is collected after obtaining appropriate consent. Personal information is defined as any information that can be used to distinguish, identify or contact a specific individual, including information about age, income, opinions or beliefs, home location and family. However, business contact and other information about individuals that is available in the public domain, such as names, addresses and telephone numbers published in directories, are not considered personal information. Public information is not subject to privacy legislation and therefore is excluded from this policy and is not subject to the same protections as is the case with personal information. However, we do not disclose personal information about our staff, partners and clients without consent.
We follow these policies when collecting, maintaining and using personal information:
